Matthew Wilding | Old Devils on Kickstarter until 10/22! @matthewwilding.bsky.social · 1d

Fun fact: Bluesky is outperforming Twitter on conversions for my Kickstarter by 900%.

Despite it having the most followers of any platform for me, Twitter is converting at lower numbers than EVERY OTHER social media platform I'm using (Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Bluesky).

This is absolutely BRILLIANT

They didn't listen to our feedback, now we need to ESCALATE

Bsky is at 3.4⭐ - let's see how quick we can tank that!

Don't know what to write?

Copy/paste mine or use it as a starting point!

#SaveSpeech #BskyCensorship

Screenshot of bluesky in the play store at 3.4 stars and 47k reviews.

Bluesky claimed to want to decentralize social media, and then came out with a massive community guidelines update imposing sweeping restrictions to free speech

If I could give negative stars I would, these changes need to be repealed and they need to refocus on user facilitated moderation tools

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

He is not asking.

Criticality stands ominously over Adra, backlit with red and holding out a plastic bag with various takeout containers inside. In a dark glitching speech bubble, he says, "EAT." We see Adra's back in the foreground as they sweat nervously.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.
