genuinely amazed at how dense with (what might be charitably characterised as) red flags the entire thing is. i kind of skimmed over it and it’s wild that there’s even worse stuff that my eyeballs slipped past

uh so this is pretty bad! artistic expression is a totally valid way to understand and reframe adversity. that stuff about anger and aggression towards women, on the other hand? that’s actually pretty fucking cooked! to say nothing of the consent issues of writing smut about real people. seek help!

My hope is that everyone on bluesky uses it to dislike every post by staff (jay's especially)

Addicted to the No Caesars adulation.

And, let's be honest, a lot of people here got carried the fuck away with it. But she's a creature of Silicon Valley. She's one of them. Vapid, faux-profound insights with fawning praise in response that would make ChatGPT blush made her think she was above it.

Let's say someone makes a polite post about how protecting rights of trans people is a purity test we all should avoid. And someone else replies and tell them to go fuck themselves. Which one of these would be considered toxic low-quality one?

And yes I am aware that feeds are algorithms. The difference is you have control over which feeds you subscribe to. Don't like a feed? Remove it, choose another. Suppressing posts in replies and search results is a completely different thing. Who decides if post is made in bad faith or good faith?

I'd like to decide for myself which replies I want to see and which to hide, and not some weighting algorithm decide this for me, thank you very much.

Hey remember that whole "Bluesky doesn't have algorithms" thing
Improved toxicity detection Our latest model aims to do a better job of detecting replies that are toxic, spammy, off-topic, or posted in bad faith. Posts that cross the line are down-ranked in reply threads, search results, and notifications, reducing their visibility while keeping conversations open for good-faith discussion.

This is 100% going to allow creeps and abusers and bigots to say horrific stuff and the people taking umbrage with any of it is who will get disappeared by this, you just know it. The bluesky team is genuinely hostile toward its userbase and will SO not care as voices get further marginalized

The funniest part is when the blue sky team announced something dumb and the entire community's reaction en masse is that it's dumb and bluesky just pretends like it's not seeing any of that until one of the team members has a crashout from the stress of pretending to be eternally correct

What you can do to help SNAP recipients keep food on the table
More than 1 in 10 Washingtonians use federal funds from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP or food stamps, to pay for groceries.

Are you people fucking kidding me with this shit @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
At the same time, there are legitimate debates about the best ways to feed the needy, how many should qualify and how much they should get. In the 1970s, 1 in 50 Americans received food stamps. Now, 1 in 8 do. On average, these households get $322 a month. Are 42 million Americans really in such danger of suffering malnutrition that the federal government should spend about $100 billion every year Certainly, many need the help. The American Enterprise Institute's Kevin Corinth estimates that 2.9 million individuals willbe pushed into poverty if SNAP benefits are not paid in November, including 1.1 million children, 1.3 million working-age adults and about 500,000 seniors. But no one should aspire for large segments of the population to depend on government handouts. The program could certainly be designed better to not discourage work. Ultimately, the best way to help over the long run is to grow the economy, which leads to job creation and rising wages.
