im going to go out on a limb and say, this is psychotic it's instructive to ask, what would have stopped them from doing this? what could anyone have done differently that would have led them to conclude this extraordinary thing was unnecessary? and the answer is nothing

the lack of a coms team for bluesky is so typical of a certain kind of techno libertarian startup culture. and it should tell you everything you need to know about what the problem for this platform is going to be even before jay's multi day long crash out.

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:

so @jay.bsky.team you banned link because he hurt your feelings?

just an fyi, saying i’m mean is literally terrorism

lmao of course

It is strictly forbidden not to call me a whore when sucking cock for cum

No way the people prone to religious and spiritual psychosis are also prone to chat bot worship and psychosis. Wow you’re just telling me now for the first time

Kristi Noem about to somehow violate the 3rd Amendment in the year of our lord 2025

posting a song and not making any actionable statements

Doesn't matter how you make 'em scared. So long as you make 'em.

Stalin was the lesser of two evils shout out to my guy Stalin

imagine a guy like this exclaiming, "this shite is so arse." because there's a huge overlap between this type of person and the type of person who refuses to say real swears.

lmao

you know it’s actually funny how we did actually have a conversation a few years back as a culture about how digital assistants like siri and alexa are generally female voiced & that makes people be very comfortable to let loose misogyny @ them and i wooonder what’s different about this conversation

none of these people are qualified to speak on their own product and have consistently misjudged their own capabilities.

I'm genuinely flattered so many people cared to raise a stink about mine and Link's bans, and glad as well. Give that energy to these people as well, and do everything you can in service of that.

"we just call balls and strikes," say the mods, as they ignore the guy throwing balls directly at the batter

so now link is suspended with no email

it's so funny that they all told the lie about the blm 'rioters' who burned cities down and got rich from soros money for doing so so many times they managed to scare themselves about their own made up story.

One thing I’d be nice if Schatz and others acknowledged is that even judging their hard right turn on immigration in Spring 2024 on its own terms it failed miserably. In July when Harris took over Trump led on “immigration” by 9pts, by election day he led 13pts. At best it, electorally, did nothing

israel must be destroyed and never allowed to exist again.

They brought the post back lol. Finish the job. Ban Singal. Rescue your platform.

So close to getting it

The over-criminalization of American life means I have an increasing number of relatively well-off, middle-class people as clients. I've lost count of the number of times I've heard "Why are they (prosecutors) being so awful? I'm not a criminal." People think it'll never come for them.

Calling a robot a slur actually gives those things more humanity imo, which is why we shouldn't do it. You're just anthropomorphizing the computer in the same, but inverted, way as the computer fuckers. That's my real issue with the whole "clanker," thing.

Yesterday on the tube I saw some Americans over here for the Vikings Game and istg they all had five guys cups. Coming all the way to one of the best food destinations in the world and being like "imagine a burger".

absolutely brutal

There’s this fun interesting thing that happens a lot in Internet Conversations where the original thread of an argument will get bounced out into a bunch of parallel discursive framings that involve completely different considerations but camps form around the debate as if it’s a univocal issue

Day 5. Necromancer - Dao

yes. the US has done more to spread and promote fascism than any other country for the last 75 years as well. you just are finally noticing that it's coming home for people who look enough like you for you to care

as a Japanese American, yes, you dumb bitch I can’t fucking stand you people, justifying the round up of a racial minority any way you can you would have cheered along as my ancestors were put in camps

today's newsletter: a consideration of the many wonderful cars in One Battle After Another, in particular Willa's 2005 Yaris, Sensei's T-Bird Super Coupe and Bob's boosted 1991 Nissan Sentra SE-R

just gotta swallow all my snob opinions about the steely dan drop in one battle after another now that i know which song it was. big tent big tent big tent

I kinda think we should maybe stop using that Anthony Bourdain quote about the slaughter of Cambodians for other stuff. like I just saw this and I promise whatever Tim Willits did to American McGee's "dark alice in wonderland game" it's not as bad as a four year bombing campaign and the Khmer Rogue

Like this is the kind of fascism that HITLER learned from THE US

don't threaten me with a good time mike

we have trained your company's accounting software on 6 million reddit shitposts and it is accurate 55% percent of the time. please clap.

Oh, we know

apropos of nothing, remember that rash of incidents where autistic students got dinged for plagiarism by teachers on high alert for ai-generated work? anyway, i totally trust that y'all will accurately use those anti-ai slurs on actual llms and not real people. really.

AI cannot be uninvented therefore we must use it. Unlike all those other terrible ideas which we did uninvent

What american values did Claire's represent? Badly piercing children's ears and selling hazardous makeup?
