digital portrait of my android character Wolfgang (they/them). they have short dark green hair and ice blue eyes, they are wearing make up in pink and lavender tones. their head is tilted inquisitively as they look directly at the viewer, their bloodied hand resting underneath their chin. they are surrounded by flowers of pink magnolia in different stages of bloom.

digital portrait of my character Bastien (he/they). wavy brown hair is framing his face and his downturned brown eyes. he is looking down and away from the viewer with a cigarette dangling from his lips. a red scar is gleaming on his cheek. they are partially obscured by fern leaves and the shadows they cast.

digital portrait of my character Élise (they/them). they have a short orange dyed mohawk and bright make up on, on their throat is a barely visible tracheal shave scar. their eyes are closed as they break into a shining smile. they are framed by chrysanthemum flowers of different colors ranging from pink to yellow.

Kysurax & Heulog-12 Field Guide for @rivaldi22.bsky.social ✨

#Destiny2
#Destiny2Art

Kysurax
— formerly a death singer before being risen & can still sing polyphonically
— learned about heulog-12 from the world’s grave; curiosity turned to infatuation; constantly made excuses to run into her (still denies this to this day)
— harbors feelings of guilt & shame for decisions that led to her allying with humanity; does not regret those decisions but sometimes feels other hive view her as a traitor or heretic
— has begun to share heulog-12’s fondness for street food; her favorite is pupusas

Heulog-12
— idolized eriana-3 & spent her early days as a sunsinger—& later a dawnblade—trying to live by her example
— read novels to savathûn while she was held by mara sov; developed an emotion attachment shattered by the events that occurred after her acquisition of the light
— entertains eliksni children with fantastic (but harmless) displays of light & tales of defending sol as a form of community outreach
— developed a new appreciation for arc light as a result of time spent with kysurax; now her preferred light aspect
— has a deep, profound appreciation for street food

Very interesting algorithm analysis, which explains the repeated problems with content moderation getting in the way of social justice

tldr: it's always good to block a TERF or a white supremacist or any other type of fascist

original post: www.tumblr.com/chiptrillino...

Screenshot of tumblr text post by fourohfourlifenotfound August 24 part 1/3:

"If we are ever going to stop this, then you guys need to start learning why this happens.
And it's not always because some executive made a decision to favor a TERF. It's because the technology is broken in a way TERFs have learned to use to their advantage.
So content moderation is a HUGE task. It is incredibly inefficient to manually monitor all user reports-- when you "flag" something as spam or inappropriate or 'inciting harm' (what Blueskye is saying the banned users had in their posts). So what actually happens is that the bulk of it is reviewed by machine. The precise "how" is a bit of a black box (if you say exactly, it makes it more vulnerable to being bypasses), but we generally know it's a bit of machine learning ("ai", but not he chatgpt kind) and a bit of automation. Generically this gets referred to as an "algorithm" (which is a meaningless word I don't have time to unpack here).
The TERFs have a formula. A battle plan, if you will. I've been watching them use it for almost a decade. And they play social media sites like a fiddle every single time."

Text post part 2/3:

"The way it works is that they coordinate attacks on targets they dislike. (Usually trans people, but ace discourse is a notable example of targets not necessarily fitting that demographic.) They send links to each other of posts to report. They'll flag it for whatever the nearest thing they can is. The blueskye users were wishing ill to JK Rowling, so "inciting harm" was the excuse selected. "Inappropriate or sexually explicit content" is a common selection for other trans content.
Then what happens is the content moderation "algorithm" sees a huge influx of reports for a certain post or user. And instead of making a human manually review all of that, it automatically initiates a ban or takedown. And if the "algorithm" has word censorship built in, it will begin to auto-flag for things containing words in posts frequently flagged, so it begins to auto-flag the word trans itself.
This has been happening for almost a decade. There was a trans youtuber who proved TERF hater group chats flagged his videos so much that it started auto-demonitizing identical videos with the word trans in the title, but leaving ones without the word alone. I strongly suspect this is why we see huge amounts of trans women banned for no reason on tumblr. And this is clearly what is happening now."

Text post part 3/3:

"How do we fix it? There's no easy solution. All the things about the "algorithm" that make moderation easier for the social media platforms are the exact reasons it's so difficult to defeat. It's hard to teach a machine what's a genuine flag and a malicious one. Again, it's been almost a decade since the issue was raised with youtube, and there has yet to be a solution for rooting out malicious coordinated flagging.
But here's one thing that can help: get TERFs off of social media. Stop letting them bait you into petty fights. Learn how to identify them. Block and report them. "

Response by drtanner:

"Blocking TERFs and other assorted bigots is especially effective on bsky, because the block function there is nuclear. In short, if you block someone, not only can they not view your account or any of your posts, but any replies they made on your posts will no longer be viewable by others, even if they haven't personally blocked that user themselves. If they quote you, you can even decouple your post from their quote. In short, blocking someone on bsky produces mutual hiding of content, and it's extremely effective at starving these cunts of oxygen. Bigots who can't convince people to fight with them and whose posts don't gain any traction because they're blocked by everyone and their dog leave the platform, i.e. Jesse Singal.
It works, people just need to remember to do it more. Preemptive blocking of dickheads before they start shit with you is the best way to prevent things like this from happening. "
