Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice. Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT." IT IS ART. YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

1 in 10 people in Gaza has now been massacred by Israel.

Everyone please just set up on Newgrounds already. For this reason, but also everyone really should just have a dedicated gallery for their art anyway without the extra noise of social media, and this is a good, easy place to do it.

shilling one of my favorite bluesky tools, @deck.blue !! it allows u to schedule posts, see all ur shit at once, bookmark por... uhh anyway yeag. highly recommend

I am mad. Even if they didn't listen to the feedback, please keep posting your stuff here. You art is powerful and inspires many. It might never please everybody, even so, don't be stopped, don't be censored. Post and post and post, I want to see all creativity here. All of it. SFW. NSFW.

deixando claro que sim eu prefiro tentar criar um PDS nacional inteiro do Bluesky do que tentar de novo ir pro mastodon. deu super certo das outras vezes

primeira PDS brasileira logo mais, parabéns pela iniciativa @joseli.to!

em breve no ar o micro.blog.br. instância independente do bluesky cadastre-se e entre na lista de espera. mais informações em breve

🚨 Senado abriu enquete de consulta pública sobre a votação da Anistia! ‼️ VOTEM EM “NÃO”! (É necessário login gov) www12.senado.leg.br/ecidadania/v...

excited to share that we are following through on our earlier commitments and putting together an independent+neutral organization to house the DID PLC system, includes the directory service

Sabe qual a diferença entre usar AI pra promover a luta da esquerda e usar AI pra combater os avanços da extrema direita? Nenhuma. Em ambos os casos você ta contribuindo pra precarização do mercado de trabalho, roubo de arte e ajudando empresa arrombada a gerar capital Não seja pangaré

You should say what the alternatives are so people understand what you mean by this. Not that they should go back to X, but that they can migrate to PDS.witchcraft.systems, selfhosted.social, blacksky.app, @transrights.northsky.social They can use zeppelin.social, blacksky.community, deer.social

BRASIL NÚMERO 1 CAMPEÃO PENTA 👆🥇🏆🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 CAMPEÃO DO MUNDO 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👆

JUST IN: A historic conviction: Brazil's Supreme Court delivers a majority vote to convict former President Jair Bolsonaro over a plot to overthrow the government.

🚨⚖️ JAIR BOLSONARO É CONDENADO POR GOLPE DE ESTADO Cármen Lúcia acompanha relator e declara Bolsonaro e demais réus do Núcleo 1 culpados por Golpe de Estado, Tentativa de Abolição o Estado Democrático de Direito, Organização Criminosa e mais dois crimes.

for the next update, when you reload with the new version, all your bookmarks will be converted to bsky's bookmarks and all new bookmarks will be using their feature instead there will be no required action to do this and the UX within deck.blue won't change too

If you've been using a 📌 emoji to bookmark posts, @rafael.my and @samuel.bsky.team cooked up a special tool you can use to migrate them to your Saved Posts. Try it here: pin2saved.vercel.app

v1.108 is rolling out today 🚚 Now live, at long last: Bookmarks, aka Saved Posts. For all those posts you'll definitely plan to come back to! Update the app and give it a try. The button is right down there 👇

I’m quoted in today’s issue of Forbes.

We use Deck Blue over at @typebarmagazine.bsky.social and it’s a huge help! Definitely worth it!

Completely worth the $1 per month to be able to schedule posts on here!!! Not to mention that you can bookmark posts. It's extremely helpful to not have to spend a large amount of time every day, or having to remember to post content the day of. This has saved me so much mental energy!

huh, two years after deck.blue then

Another major theme: distinguishing between fictional artistic expression and harmful content. The LGBTQIA+ community and artists have been especially clear about where our draft language creates confusion. We’re working to clarify this in our final version. 5/6

It's really fucked up the news media at large is searching so hard for humanity in machines, while systematically denying humanity to Palestinians, trans people, immigrants, and other persecuted people

Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books

Explico os efeitos colaterais da Lei Felca (PL 2628/22) nessa coluna: www.tecmundo.com.br/seguranca/40...

Espalhar dados pessoais de adultos brasileiros por toda a internet e a concentração de mercado de serviços digitais apenas nas big techs que possuem escritório no Brasil é o preço necessário a se pagar para proteger crianças e adolescentes?

brazil is on the way of implementing a similar age-verification system to the uk that is """for the children""" and if that ends up happening i'll have to shut down deck.blue i'm operating under brazilian laws and i don't want to build a verification system that will do more harm than anything else

This is completely reasonable. I'm a patron (albeit at a lower level) and do NOT use the scheduling feature. What I get outside of scheduling is still of value to me. The idea that the developer should swallow the cost is insane and the alternative funding methods are less palatable. IMO.

Learn how to make links prettier! ✨ You will need to use the third party client deck.blue. You can log into it with your Bluesky account and an app password #sky-tan #tutorial

once again passing by to explain that the scheduling feature does require a paid backend server to work and you're basically paying for that specifically if it was free, everyone would use it and i would go broke from the bill from that server (both from processing cost and storage cost for media)

O gov br, que já não é o melhor dos mundos, já usa sistema de validação de identidade e seria MUITO MAIS SEGURO integrar esse sistema a qualquer regulação, mas as big techs nao vao querer pelo mesmo motivo do pix de "concorrencia desleal" nao funciona largar a regulação pra eles, pelamor

Vão tentar repetir o que rolou na europa e obviamente isso vai dar merda aqui porque vai aumentar ainda mais o apagão tecnológico entre pessoas de baixa renda, além de prejudicar uma pa de serviço Os caras preferem prejudicar todo o conjunto da obra a simplesmente exigir responsabilidade das techs

> [Blacksky] guarantees our community a seat at the table, and ensures that we can leave and easily make our own table if we need to. That’s the true promise of decentralized social media. Me for @newpublic.org

As someone who has stopped using Twitter ~3 years ago, after having been on it daily for the prior 16 years, it is *so* clear how much the current hateful and extreme state of the platform warps the views of its users, and NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT. I see the effect so much working in tech.

I highly recommend using @graze.social for your Bluesky feeds. I'm maintaining 4 Bsky feeds on their platform already. I'm seeing some issues with the caching on the bsky.app client, but that's not Graze's fault. I use deck.blue to see feed updates faster and a better realtime monitoring experience.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

You can also just do it manually by using the [text](link) syntax just in case pasting isn't working! The link between () needs to be a valid http/https and you can't put mentions or hashtags in the [] part!

This is the moral issue of our generation. Our governments are either complicit or impotent. Our protest against Israel’s barbarity is increasingly becoming illegal. And all the while, Palestinians are butchered. It’s hard, but an enormous privilege, to live a “normal” life as this all goes on.

As I've been adding artists to my art list this afternoon, it's probably a good time to remind folk about @deck.blue and it's ability to create a list-based column that is set to "gallery mode" for a near constant stream of visual inspiration.

agora em setembro.

Anyone watching #NUFC via a laptop - can't speak too highly of @deck.blue Set up columns for lists, hastags, words etc. I've been using it (and previously Tweetdeck) for football watching for decades. Another level.

Exciting news! Graze just got easier. Today we're releasing a new "simple feed" designer to quickly learn the ropes without getting too in the weeds. If you're on the fence about building a feed, it's never been easier to start!

Ppl on Twitter got way too comfortable letting algorithms do the work for them and eventually stopped actively sharing and talking about their favorite art or artists. That's how it felt to me anyway. The automated nature of the place just...stalled out meaningful interaction with creative work
