Brit and I watched this show and it's just amazing! Epic stop-motion animation. Absurd but heart-felt. Well worth the watch for any animation fan. I feel like the subtitle version is much more effective at hitting that telenovela vibe.

Anyways Seattle I am doing this tonight, I know it says "open mic" but it's really more of a 4 hour proletarian prayer service, the message being "we will survive capitalism somehow, together." Come and share your voice.

Saying things out loud is critically important for bringing about change. Even if everyone who hears you has exactly the same view, saying it out loud brings it alive and takes you one step closer to asking 'so what are we going to do about it?'. 6/9

A bit giddy about this ngl! Always wanted to be vocal about the things I believe in but never shuffled my bum off the top of the slide.

Well on my way down now though, so here are some thoughts on how Z-list culture people like me (and you?) can use our micro-platforms to make change happen. 1/9

I still struggle with political statements but I can take action toward the kinds of politics I support. Even a kind word goes a long way.

Justin Sullivan @3amnoise.net · 2d

Still, I’ve seen what small positive contributions can do. I want everyone to have that feeling that comes with making an impact, no matter how small. I also want people to know what it feels like when a community has their back.

Thanks for this thread! Particularly the message about positive action. I see people who’ve been so mad for so long, it’s hard to think in terms of pushing in the opposite direction. I’ve definitely been there!

I have little tolerance for this kind of BS. Maybe time to give upon social media completely. If mods here want to turn their backs on the people who made this place what it is, they can have whatever it becomes.

Unfortunate update: Link reached out to BlueSky and got email back now on reason.

His appeal is denied. He will remain permanently banned on BlueSky’s side.

Here are the screenshots he just sent me as of 8:22 AM EST(my time)

A screenshot of an email from the Bluesky Moderation Team with the subject line “Bluesky Account Behavior” sent at 22:15. The email states that a Bluesky account controlled by the recipient, with the handle @spacelawshitpost.me, posted a reply with an image where the alt text reads: Charlie Kirk sitting in a white T-shirt that says “Freedom.” A negative consequence follows. The email indicates this post violates Community Guidelines regarding violent or threatening speech, specifically listing threats of violence or physical harm against individuals, groups, institutions, or the general public, and incitement of self-harm or suicide.

A screenshot of an email continuation from the Bluesky Moderation Team displaying a bulleted list of Community Guidelines violations. The first bullet point describes threats of violence or physical harm as including threats or encouragement of violence against individuals, groups, institutions, or the general public. The second bullet point defines incitement of self-harm or suicide as content that encourages self-harm or suicide. The third bullet point explains wishes of harm as expressions of a desire for harm directed at a specific person or group. Below the bullets, a paragraph states that users may not use Bluesky to break the law or cause harm to others and that all users must be treated with respect. The next paragraph informs the recipient that as a result of these violations, your account has been taken down. A closing paragraph thanks the user for doing their part to keep Bluesky a welcoming and empowering place for all users and instructs them to email moderation@blueskyweb.xyz if they have questions or wish to appeal the decision. The email ends with the signature Bluesky Moderation Team.

A screenshot of an email from the Bluesky Moderation Team sent at 08:11 with the subject line Re: Bluesky Account Behavior addressed To: Hide My Email. The email reads:

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out to appeal the takedown of your account on Bluesky. We have carefully reviewed your case, including the information you provided and the activity that led to the suspension of your account.

After investigating, we have determined that your account activity was in violation of our community guidelines, specifically promoting hateful content or being disruptive to other users. We take these guidelines seriously to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all our users.

As a result, we regret to inform you that your appeal has been denied, and your account will remain suspended. This decision is final and cannot be reversed. We understand that this may be disappointing news, but we must prioritize the well-being of our community and maintain a consistent enforcement of our policies. We encourage you to review our community guidelines to better understand the expectations we have for user behavior on our platform. Please do not create new accounts, since those will be taken down for ban evasion.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Link has always been a positive plus for Bluesky.

Let's be crystal clear the reason for his ban is goalpost moving because the CEO didn't like being called out for racism and bigotry.

That's it. That's literally it.
