actually why bother giving them an ultimatum when i can just up and leave? if it sucks, hit the bricks!
maybe i'll come back if i get word that jesse singal got banned for real, but since he's apparently friends with someone on the mod team, i find it unlikely that it'll happen anytime soon.
checking out of this place until new year's 2025. i recognize this place might be entering its first stage of enshittification and will not make the same mistake i did on twitter.
hopefully jesse will be banned by then, and if not, then that proves this was all for nothing.
Seeing all the talk about Singal's influence + BlueSky's nonaction is a very good reminder about how BS's admins did their damndest to try & sweep antiblackness under the rug in the early days AND went out of their way to make themselves unavailable
The tactic against trans ppl is 100% the same.
Jesse Singal is a liar and a fraud of a journalist and I will prove it as an unassailable fact in this thread.
I'll also talk about why I don't think BlueSky moderation will do anything about him afterwards so stick around or maybe just skip to that if you don't want to read the boring details.
The famous nazi bar analogy from twitter: "I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says "no. get out." And the dude next to me says, "hey I'm not doing anything, I'm a paying customer." and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says "out. now" and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed. Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like "you didn't see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them." And I was like, ohok and he continues "You have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it's always a nice polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after a while they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too. And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it's too late because they're entrenches and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down." And I was like "oh damn" and he said you "you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people." And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven't forgotten that at all."
Taps the sign- "you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people."
3 posts from @safety.bsky.app that say: 1. The current controversies reveal weaknesses in the clarity of our Community Guidelines and failures in our communications. This has led to understandable confusion about how we interpret our guidelines. We need to be more transparent - without revealing to bad actors how to circumvent our systems. 2. Our growing moderation team needs clear evidence and well-defined rules to make decisions that can be consistently enforced, so they action accounts based primarily on content and behavior that appears in our app, where the context and authenticity can be directly verified. 3. We do not currently take action on accounts that share Bluesky screenshots with commentary, unless that commentary violates our Guidelines. We will take action when someone's private information is shared without their consent, but only when it is personally identifiable and verifiable in-app. the last sentence of the first post and the first sentence of the third post are underlined in red. a red arrow points from the first to the third
heck of a one-two punch here
Swen Vincke, director of larian games, at The Game Awards, giving a speech before handing out the game of the year award
-shows up wearing ceasefire pin
-talks about how the art and magic of games comes from the creatives and devs
-denounces the games made for quotas and in boardrooms
-takes a shot at TGA about giving proper airtime to creatives
-doesnt name drop any celebs
forget the awards, this guy wins hearts man
idea that got brainstormed while watching a TGA reaction stream:
the show is hosted in the same entertainment complex as the los angeles lakers' home arena. move the show there, and host an low-stakes esports tournament at the peacock theatre
(thanks @marshmallowwors.bsky.social)
another day, another artist chastised for wanting to experiment

The lack of digital privacy safeguards has been used to intimidate, harass + destroy the lives of abuse victims. The DEFIANCE Act is a step in the right direction + we need to push lawmakers to get it passed- call now!

"i accidentally drew [?] line"
something that @safety.bsky.app needs to realize is that when it comes to social media, marginalized people are both targets, and a vast majority of your userbase, because ALL women are marginalized, and when you add in men of color, and queer men, and disabled men, etc.? it's not a contest
