if we're going to endlessly chase retro aesthetics for a while can we cut the bullshit and start making CRTs again

Bluesky almost successfully launched paid subscriptions, almost unthinkable on a social network, except management decided it was more important to defend transphobes. You can hardly measure the level of bag fumbling here

We’re on that Euthanasia Rollercoaster but the thing that is dying is culture

Ben Briggs @benbriggs.net · 6d

Someone said “abuse at scale” and it stuck w me. Just realized I’ve played a never ending game of whackamole w little control freak manipulator narcissistic abusers over the years in our little niche, and now I’m watching that exact type of guy try to rule the world.

It’s rape culture made manifest

It’s all good fr! The subtweet probably wasn’t necessary and I certainly didn’t intend to send anyone to dunk on you

But I totally get it! Tensions are high and our vigilance can get misdirected but coalition building is the goal and ultimately I appreciate you caring enough to keep my eyes up 🫡

Ben Briggs @benbriggs.net · 6d

Thankfully you don’t know me at all and I don’t feel a need to perform my inherent anti-fascism at you

But hey, we’re on the same team and I wish you safety and success with your resistance wherever you can achieve it!

Maybe I’m blackpilled for this but waiting in an obscene line for the Five Nights At Freddie’s haunted house experience in the middle of a crumbling empire is kind of a vibe

Ben Briggs @benbriggs.net · 6d

Have you considered scrolling more though

Ben Briggs @benbriggs.net · 6d

Like we are definitely on the same team, but this is also definitely a Wendy’s

Ben Briggs @benbriggs.net · 6d

I think most of these people genuinely just haven’t yet realized that one of the best ways to resist fascism is to be a vibrant, functioning human being IRL in spite of it
