When youre writing letters or making phone calls to paypros/reps, its worth remembering that you dont have to stick to 1 style of formatting the info. You dont gave to write a proper letter with an opening argument, main body and conclusion. You can write a numbered list or bullet points. Its fine!

Another blow to chat control! EU folks, contact your MEPs so we can block chat control! You have until the 14th of october!

if you are German, you really need to yell and scream at your MEPs about chat control! Germany has been flip flopping on chat control constantly. Their vote carries an enormous amount of weight on this issue! we can win this, but we need to make our voices heard! contact your representatives!

If you're in Portland, I hope you stay safe out there. Our president is such a insane madman who wants everyone to suffer.

the fucked up thing is that i believe with the force of 1000 suns that the right wing freaks in government will be defeated and sooner than any of us can think

it's important to stay up to date on the news, but especially on social media, all the bad stuff can become overwhelming

Decided to do some edits to the script for US Politicians. I've currently removed the Sammy Law(not as popular yet), the ACPA(only a draft), and the H.R.5300(no relevance and neutered, but keep an eye on it) to help narrow the scope of importance. #savespeech #bskycensorship Short Script:

Pressure works!! Reactions to pressure are usually delayed because we can't always see what's happening behind the scenes. Keep calling your reps and working together ✨

It absolutely sucks watching America turn into a dystopian, authoritarian state in real time. Please stay safe out there. I'm begging other countries to not make the same mistakes.

The 'Stop CSAM Act of 2025' has had its govtrack likelihood t [to be enacted] drop from from 56% down to 46%! Keep calling your representatives in both the house and senate and hammer how this is a surveillance/anti-encryption bill under the guise of "protecting children". Tell them to OPPOSE!

Hot take, but activism shouldn't mean that you need to be a constant killjoy who hates fun. Nobody is saying you have to be happy about the state of the world, but I don't think it helps anyone if you become the same miserable people that the right are.

Doomers in my replies will be hidden because that's where the energy should go-- privately into the void, instead of crabs-in-a-bucketing people protesting or are getting ready to join

Doomerism is fed shit. Hope and action terrify them.

i am on my hands and knees actually begging people to stop doomposting on my posts/calls to action/infographics etc not only is it bad for YOUR mental health, its bad for MY mental health, and worst of all it may scare off people who otherwise could have been moved to action. PLEASE STOP IT.

I had no interest in using TikTok when it was used owned by the authoritarian Chinese government and I have no interest in it now that its owned by the authoritarian American government. But it is very concerning that basically all of social media is owned by right-wing billionaires.

Key words : " For Profit " If you see those words attached to ANYTHING , assume they're nothing but soulless scumsucking Fucking Parasitic Bottom Feeders. That assumption will be correct. Always.

#SaveSpeech US peeps, we need to keep hammering our reps to vote no on these bills and demand they start going after the Paypros, and raising this as a 1st Amendment fight! Mention what happened to Jimmy Kimmel and how we clearly can't trust this administration not to abuse these laws.

If you're ever feeling down about yourself, remember this. In 10+ years all the YouTube chuds never accomplished anything they wanted while in the span of a weekend, you and people like you helped get a multi-billion dollar studio to listen and reverse a shitty decision.

The government is susceptible to revolt from its own base on the grounds of protecting free speech. Even Ted Cruz spoke out against the Kimmel mess www.google.com/amp/s/www.nb...

if you're in Denmark, remember that you have a govt petition you can sign targeting chat control!

Sometimes I wish I could reach into my screen and slap people through the internet. Like people who say we shouldn't watch ANYTHING that the studios produce, but then offer no credible alternative.

Choosing to be constantly miserable does not make you interesting, edgy, or "better" at activism than anyone else. It's not going to make people take you more seriously. You're just an asshole who hates fun and joy. All you do is drag other people down with you.

My hot take is that some people are too quick to jump ship or give up hope due to the TOS changes It should absolutely be fought, I've sent emails and feedback already, but what matters is if it is enforced. Twitter has had similar rules and we know that shit don't matter.

as silly as Jimmy Kimmel of all people getting some folks to dip their toes into direct action, this is an opportunity we can take advantage of. have some family you want to reach re: censorship online, and you see them responding positively to the kimmel situation? Use this as an opening!

We will win.

Why are some people on here simply unable to take a W? You helped get a multi-billion dollar studio to actually listen and reverse a really awful decision. Take the fucking win!

Looks like the Mouse fucked around, found out, and then course corrected itself. Good. This is why you don't give up in advance. I guarantee you that Disney wouldn't have walked it back if many thousands of people hadn't voted with their wallets. Celebrate the win.

A seemingly small victory, but it is still a powerful push against authoritarian overreach. Keep pushing.

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

if people live in the undecided nations, please contact your MEPS and whatnot to oppose this shit, we need to make as much noise against this as much as possible, this won't protect children, it to control the people

People who get mad at you for setting boundaries on social media, whether they don't like you limiting replies or blocking them, are people who never had any intention of a good faith discussion. They simply want to argue for the sake of it and I'm not here for that.

Another reminder that you don't need anyone's permission or approval to enjoy something. As long as you're not being toxic and that thing isn't directly funding hate, then like and enjoy whatever you want.

Everything is really scary and chaotic for Trans individuals right now. Regardless of whatever lies and fear that is spread, we know that the world is better with Trans people in it. You are all worth fighting for, and we will continue to advocate for your rights and your safety.

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025 I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves! Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship Silence is compliance!

I'm not participating in a blackout because the point is moderation and others want me and those like me gone, and I would much rather continue to occupy the space I helped build rather than give everyone a chance to feel how much "better" it is without me. why wither when you can be a thorn.

You're not a bad person if you experience joy, take care of yourself, and prioritize your mental health. None of that means that you're not informed or don't care about the bad shit happening in the world, but constantly consuming that 24/7 is not healthy either.

Borrowed the skeleton and fleshed it out with a few of my own thoughts. I really don't want to have to find everyone again in another place, and I refuse to doompost about having to migrate because that helps no one. Send in your feedback!

I think people need to be very level headed about this and understand Bluesky has been raising the temperature on moderation (see Nathan Grayson, Jesse Gender, Gretchen Felker-Martin being hit) and maybe this platform isn’t going to be the Twitter safe haven everyone wanted

Original was “depictions of […] nonconsensual sexual activity,” now it’s “sexual content involving nonconsensual activity,” incl “illustrated or animated versions” It’s a specific narrowing, this does seem like an escalation due to the emphasis on illustration and animation. Those words matter here

until we see concrete evidence that bsky’s tiny ass moderation team has the manpower to enforce those new content guidelines, posting CAN and SHOULD continue completely unchanged until proven otherwise, it’s empty words. call their bluff

this is why i encourage people to call/mail their representatives on issues too. This is WHY a lot of them get really nervous when they get a bunch of phone calls yelling at them, not because theyr hearts and minds are being changed but because theyre seeing their cushy ass job at risk

Lastly, these content restrictions are absolutely part of a larger push for censorship We HAVE to keep working to stop this If free speech is important to you, you can't just stop here Check out the site for more action you can take to support free speech! anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co 4/🧵

TELL bsky you have an issue with this! 1) KEEP talking about it - don't let this issue fade away 2) Submit feedback to bsky! TELL them its not okay! On PC: on the right under "trending" On mobile: on the left under "settings" 2/🧵

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates Most notably: 1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon 2) No "dangerous" kink 3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational" So what can we DO about it? #SaveSpeech 1/🧵

Another reminder that caving to the demands of bullies doesn't make them stop targeting you. You simply become an easy mark for them. Not only that, but you also alienate people who would have supported you, especially if you have the means to fight back.

Forward, or back? Hard question. Good thing they brought Allison to help #allison #moon #symmetry #digitalart #oc
