Fix Your Hearts or Die It's a invitation, not a threat. The path to liberation for lonely men is feminism.

"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The actual path to liberation for lonely men is feminismβ€”because pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating."

If what ICE is doing has anything to do with the law, why are they routinely breaking laws, violating the Constitution, violating civil rights, and hurting and killing innocent people?

Tips: moving from Xitter to Bsky

Before you start following people, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. Just reuse your top 10 banger tweetsβ€”recycling is encouraged! This way, people will know you aren’t a bot, will see what you are about, and might follow back.

Turn off NSFW filters in Settings > Moderation > Enable Adult Contentand at the bottom on Settings > Moderation > Bluesky Mod Service

Find your friends from the hellsite using Sky-Follower-Bridge.devNot perfect, but it will find the majority of the people you were following.Beware of fake tools that ask for money!

Follow a few feeds related to your interests. In bsky you choose what kind of content you want to see. You can pin feeds (into tabs) to the top of your timeline, and you always have access to the Following feed which shows nothing but who you choose to follow.

Block often. Don’t interact with trolls. Don’t quote dunk, comment, nothing. Let them rot in silence, take away their oxygen and they’ll asphixiate. This is the Bsky way.

Turn off language filters in Settings > Languages > Content Languages
Or you won’t see posts from anyone in Japan, Germany, etc, in your feeds, even if they only post a cool image with no text. Weird, but trust me on this one. Uncheck all to see all posts.

Fuck content scrapers. Do not let that trash overwhelm this site, do not share their stolen content. You can block them all with two clicks by going to joabaldwin.com/scrapers and on the top-right clicking on Subscribe > Block Accounts (I know, β€œSubscribe” is an odd thing to name it, but that’s how block lists work).

Use alt text to make images accessible. Helps for translations, readability, findability, and users with slow internet. Turn on Settings > Accessibility > Require alt text before posting

It takes time to rebuild, but the best time to do it is right now. Use your last tweets to tell everyone to move, then stop posting. Twitter is a Nazi/AI/bot/crypto cesspit.

πŸ¦‹ Welcome to Buesky! πŸ¦‹
It's long past time to leave the Nazi bar, and you'll have a much better time here. I updated this guide due to the influx of users fleeing Grok's new AI bullshit. Share widely for all the newcomers!

If you’re in politics and you want to know if you’re the good guy, ask yourself whether you think of your voters as a resource, or as a responsibility.

Breaking the social contract indicates an explicit departure from said society.

Regard those who do so accordingly.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.

We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

If you’ve encountered the term β€˜sealioning’ in reference to fallacious argumentation but haven’t encountered it in the wild, take note of everything Bill does in the linked thread.

Just… running constant exhausting interference under a pretense of championing objectivity & decorum.

You found a "solution" for autism? Is it accepting everyone's place in the beautiful mosaic of human life? Okay I'm guessing from the look on your face that it's not that

Okay, here’s my conspiracy theory:

The billionaires have figured out Jesus *is* actually on his way back, and they know they’re on his shit list.

So they’re hoovering up every brown-skinned person they can, hoping they get him before he has a chance to enact his divine retribution.

Unfortunately, I suspect we are entering a period of increasing vigilantism bc that’s what shows up when people don’t trust government. That trust takes years to build and weeks to crumble. πŸ’”

(I apologize for the flurry of replies - I’m happy to keep going but also don’t want this to be tedious for anyone. I’m not here to sell a product.

I’m here to offer my understanding and also to test my positions. Dialogues like these are great because they tend to do both.)

Looking back at this, I might’ve misread your post, and was mistaken in thinking you needed me to explain a 51% attack.

I think the real sticking point is that you see no personal value proposition in Bitcoin, and therefore you tend to think of 100% of the energy it consumes to be wasteful expense?

If Bitcoin becomes the dominant currency, a lot will have to have gone β€˜right’, including a near-total transition to clean & renewable energy production.

But it would also level the financial playing field. Even if it cost 60% of the world’s energy to make the world a fair place, that sounds cheap.

02.09.2025 03:10 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 1 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

As I think further on this, I see the potential that we grow 1-2 orders of magnitude in energy cost to become the dominant currency, and I’ll happily concede that.

And that actually helps me clarify my feelings on it, so I really REALLY appreciate your pushback!
