Came for the shitposting and the memes.
I wouldn’t say I’m good at this game but I do enjoy playing it and I’d love to play with some comrades. Steam friend code is 936967291.
But the DNC swore I can save America just by sending them $10.
“Just $10 bro fr, we can end fascism with your $10 donation. Come on bro plz.”
I mean, it’s definitely better than Twitter, but it’s already on the enshitification downward slide.
Owls are cool af comrade.
Bluesky made a long PR-speak thread that basically said “Our rules don’t allow transphobes, they just don’t disallow transphobes.”
They were silent for a week while we begged them to do something about Jesse Singal literally saying he was going to brigade the site with his followers from Twitter, and when they did finally say something official, it was a long thread about how transphobia is acceptable as long as the transphobes are slightly crafty with it or at least “polite.” Bluesky went to great length to detail the line that will get an account banned, and said they’re ok with someone toeing right up to that line as long as they don’t cross it.
For those not on Bluesky, I would also like to point out that we basically spent the first year of that website’s existence begging for a real Trust & Safety team, for a whole lot of reasons and incidents that occurred before there was one. And when Jay (CEO of Bluesky) finally hired one, she hired Aaron Rodericks to lead Trust & Safety. The Aaron Rodericks from Twitter’s “Trust” & “Safety.” Aaron Rodericks immediately began his job posting about how he cares way more about tone and manners than actual content of a message. So basically, as long as your transphobia and bigotry and racism and white supremacy is stated in a polite manner, it’s cool with him. But if you get offended by the transphobia etc and speak up for yourself, YOU are getting banned. Also, since the Jesse Singal thing started, he has made it very clear he gives exactly zero fucks what Jesse Singal does.
I joined yesterday from Bluesky and that’s what got me.
If plastics last forever, and I am full of microplastics, doesn’t that mean I will last forever?
