This is extra funny because the BS team is like "the tech is the product not the users" and it's like OK, cool but that doesn't seem to work as you sold it either

what if you. wanted to go to heaven. but gaben said: processing vulkan shaders.

i love the domino effect of trans people asking the moderation team to take harassment of trans people seriously and instead decided to perma ban a black guy who was one of the earliest users here

apparently this post was temporarily marked as “intolerant” lol

i've been rolling on this mantra for alt text for the past two years, and i'm *still* finding novel ways to make my descriptions more descriptive! 100%, treat it like you're explaining the content to someone who has no way of seeing it, *because that's usually who you're describing it to*

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

Imo you don't have to worry yourself about every issue that is happening right now, if you do that you're just going to exhaust yourself and feel hopeless in the world. Focus on what you can change, where you can make a difference. That'll let you make you have the biggest impact.

the linux experience is your computer doing this to you, over and over, forever

holy christ this site will do literally anything before working on private accounts

bluesky: community moderation! we're all about community moderation! we want you to moderate yourselves! we are giving you the tools to do it yourself! one of the biggest and longest running community mod lists:

lock in. 90% of people stop mocking their users before it actually works.

Anyone looking to jump ship to a certain platform that's actually decentralized in practice can find me at @[email protected] btw. If we're mutuals I'll even let you sign up on my instance

All I'm saying is on an actually decentralized network a couple mods deciding to act like children would affect like a couple thousand users maximum and not literally all of them

I really was hoping the bluesky team was gonna wait a few years to vindicate me on this

lotta y'all still act like transphobia is something we made up so that we can claim victimhood. you refuse to unlearn the idea that we are fundamentally deceitful

Bluesky deleted my post complaining about the CEO lol. I did not delete it myself! Full on Lowtaxing from Jay here.

I think it's important to read carefully: Blacksky is great, and they've got the entire ATmosphere's hopes pinned on them (which is frankly an unfair burden), and this is Bluesky's fault not Blacksky's But it does show that "credible exit" has yet to be achieved, let alone decentralization

you missed the point by idolizing homer simpson.

hey fellow neets hiring.cafe is much better than linkedindeed. its "powered by ai" and who cares but like. it just has a much nicer ui and you can do boolean queries like `NOT "senior" AND NOT "web3" AND ("software developer" OR "software engineer")`

HRT OTC On demand And for free

The sad thing about the owners' contempt towards the userbase is that Bluesky is genuinely a far better Twitter alternative, from a user experience the lack of an algorithm that only seemed to push conflict and suppress people I was following is a staggering difference. You got a good thing here!

Discord customer service data breach leaks user info and scanned photo IDs

whenever people online talk about sincerity and being "cringe but free" i always think about this chris fleming bit

if lowtax's ex-wife is saying you remind her of fucking lowtax maybe you should stop posting

san francisco and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

maybe bluesky really is the perfect twitter alternative, it even has it's own insane CEO who's constantly posting through it

id be a lot less mad at this site if the platform was ACTUALLY decentralized, but as of now it isn't, so im stuck having to care about bluesky policy.

From ”we’re working for our real stakeholders; you” to “are you paying us?” real quick, huh

I really was hoping the bluesky team was gonna wait a few years to vindicate me on this
