Sage is very introverted and went to school together with Dolly (and had a huge crush on her too) and Dolly was like "you know who you should go out with??" and introduced him to Trinny and they hit it off instantly :3

Bluesky is consistently censoring Palestinian people. There is a blatant pattern of this and you can't argue it's down to ignorance because they've been directly confronted on it.

Kick up a fuss. Lift the voices of Palestinians. Let Bluesky know that you see this pattern and you won't let it slide.

There wasn't any formal answer from Bsky.

'Palestinians must be heard': Bluesky urged to review 'punitive' policies towards Gaza content

Social media users say Gaza accounts and pro-Palestinian voices are disproportionately 'censored' by the platform

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout:

-submitting a feedback request
-@ing moderation about it
-commenting on mods posts about it
-making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker)
-leaving an app store review
-just generally posting about it

Here's the message I sent in

You ABSOLUTELY are welcome to copy/paste or use it as a jumping off point

Let them know we don't need this kind of "help"!

3/🧵

Screenshot of a feedback form with the text:

I'm writing about the upcoming change to the Bluesky TOS. Bluesky put out a feedback request and despite many people voicing concerns about the changes, very concerning updates have been maintained.

Bluesky has MANY moderation tools that users can utilize themselves to restrict content that they don't want to see without needing to prevent the content from being published on the site as a whole. Aside from content labels, there are user-run moderation lists and feeds so that anyone can curate their content easily.

Despite this, you have chosen to move forward with some incredibly harmful policies that restrict free speech. I implore you to remove the following policies:

1) The restriction of FICTIONAL kink content. Non-con, dub-con, and “dangerous” kink content that is FICTIONAL does not harm anyone.

2) The restriction of content depicting or discussing self harm, suicide, and substance abuse. Requiring content about these subjects to only be “educational” is extremely harmful to those dealing with these issues. Stigma only serves to further endanger people in crisis.

If these policy changes are not removed then I, among many others, will have to look for a different platform to use.

as soon as you allow for selective interpretation, everything is on the table. it's not about noncon art, it's about labeling whatever art that inconveniences them noncon. what are you going to do? complain about it? lol

yes, you should, and be loud about it

DO NOT go back to twitter that is the hitler site. i am dead serious with this shit. its main role as a de-facto organ of the trump admin is to facilitate nazi propaganda. you cannot be posting your doodles on the "euthanize all trans people" forum just because they still allow pornography

Same 🫠
And it doesnt help when non artist friends say "well just draw for yourself!" because god forbid you make something you want people to see... we're starved for community, appreciation and some are literally starving bc its their livelihood, why cant we exist in peace 🫠🫠🫠🫠

It will just boil down to "well it made me feel icky and i didnt like it so it must be bad!" like always. Because even if you make all your characters smile big and write "OH YES!" and "I'M SO GLAD WE'RE BOTH CONSENTING ADULTS" into every drawing they will find a reason to get rid of you either way

If they deem female characters sexual by default the next step to non-con is very small, especially because they're drawings and depicting consent is not black and white. They will see what they want to see, all in the name of purity and moral superiority, acting out police hero fantasies

pears @pearsfears.bsky.social · 23d

when i uploaded a drawing of two ocs in underwear, looking at each other, bsky deemed it sexual. They weren't even kissing but all appeals were ignored.
You are not safe just because your art isnt nsfw by definition because theyre the only judge of what the definition is and they're not your friends

For those of you in Germany this is especially important as Germany's voice carries a LOT of weight and other countries can oftentimes be swayed by their decision so please, PLEASE do what you can!

Germany has, unfortunately, reversed its position back to undecided.

folks in the EU, but GERMANS ESPECIALLY, need to call your MEPs about Chat Control and urge them to oppose this proposal!

find your MEP below and yell at them!
