the fundamental problem of bluesky is that it was never designed with this in mind. ATProto was built for censorship resistance, not community trust and safety.

wish you'd had this attitude 28 months ago, jay

yes, it certainly did walk around on the backs of trans* creators, didn't it

feels like every time i log on here the community guidelines have changed once again. these will probably be out of date by oct 15 at some point, they should consider going text only to avoid the whole mess. perhaps with alternative apps allowing embedded images (hosted off site) to be displayed?

it's also one of the most realistic police movies in terms of what policing is like (leaving aside the neighbourhood watch element).

"Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?”" snakes. snakes, that's where this place went wrong, letting in a snake.

@lastnpcalex.agency yes, the problem is my account can't write to anything (so i can't like the post from it). and also it can't be indexed, so the content is unavailable at the moment.

following everyone who followed my original account lol (don't have access to my original follow list). quite a few people who were mutuals here who aren't moots over on twitter...

pretty cool 😎 showing us what's possible 😉

am i the only person on here who has an account banned by bluesky that is hosted on a private server, and so the only person who's actually experienced how the bluesky appview takedowns work

it slipped my mind before, but pilot training is internationally regulated, the faa couldn't certify unqualified pilots even if it was explicit US government policy unless they were certifying them for only flying domestically and this is something that should be obvious after a few seconds thought

see if blooski had rethought their architecture when they decided trust and safety were the most important things... ah well. nevertheless,

When Trump dies the mods are going to have to hit the big self-destruct button on this place.

huh? my only interaction with her fwiw besides this is mentioning that bluesky allows accounts to be ported to non bluesky social pbc servers

does she know?

it's come a long way from the days when suggesting someone be pushed off their pedestal was considered grounds for a permaban of course, there are other servers and appviews, besides those of bluesky social pbc. it was, after all, originally designed to be resistant to takedowns

UPDATE: the antediluvian time was one where man's heart was continually turned to evil, following expulsion from the garden, which people are using correctly to refer to the post hammertime period. if you predate blocks you are pre-fall (prelapsarian), the time of garden pictures.

i miss 20k users pre fall bluesky

Perhaps she is a direct line descendant of the royal family of kymeria -- which would make her a direct descendant of the fay that created the cuirass. Maybe all humans on andowyne with innate magic are descended from fay... bavmorda had the blood of the six after all.

bluesky is a game, and the rule is simple: you ascend the ranking by diablerising someone above you. This is achieved through cancelling, which explains why it is the favoured pasttime of the posters here. diablerising an elder is the ultimate goal for most. they do not know of the antediluvians.

when the devs decided to put trust and safety front and centre, they should have rethought the architecture. whitelists ('only these people can view/interact with my posts') could be implemented at the pds level iirc. add too post linking metadata to avoid holes, capture thread structure not content

trust and safety protects but does not bind certain users on here. it also cannot make up its mind about anything important.

i wonder. could a lot of blooskis issues be caused by the block system being a rush job? technical debt from trying to get it done in a few days after hammertime? i stand by my belief whitelisting is the better way. all-to-all social media has a systemic issue with pile ons. friction is good.

will stancil is attacking one of the foundational cultural aspects of blooskix

“What does your invention do?” “It creates innumerable problems by allowing the unlettered to publish pamphlets willy-nilly. I euphemize this as ‘disseminating knowledge’ so I can ignore the political unrest, and flood of terrible poetry I’m unleashing.” “Congrats on the press, Gutenberg, bro!”

they would have never survived early bluesky

do we need a free association union to fight for the right to run our own clubs with whoever we wish to associate with, free of meddlesome governments? free association is a longstanding english tradition that this government, and others in recent times, have trampled upon

i need to know if kneecapping someone with a drone constitutes a war crime the goal is to permanently take someone out of combat. most of the time that's through killing, but it doesn't have to be.

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his sleep depends on his not understanding it.

>check on bluesky >there is another drama around trust and safety hasn't been right since hammertime, has it?

using the term bluesky antediluvian for everyone who was here before blocks were

happy two year temporary one day midnight rule change anniversary, to all who celebrate

on the plus side, if there's an alternate appview i can continue where i was rudely cut short

...i need to DM some people

amateurs

huh. 2 year anniversary of getting on this site. so coming up on 2 years since hammertime. and 2 years since... well, i had ten days of peace before the crone arrived.

what bluesky has done is akin to handing the reins to the loudmouth who insists they can do a better job running the company/ship and giving them a day to prove it. this is perhaps its most valuable function.

lfgooooo...
