Ladies and gentlemen, it's Twatwaffle Tuesday.

A sugary breakfast food, shaped in the form of the outer mound and lips of the female form. A white, creamy, glaze has been poured over the top.

Definitely eating this.

Here is how I appealed the suspension. It took them about an hour to respond. All in all I was down for about 4 hours.

Hello, I have been suspended for a post accusing me of threatening violence. If you look at the thread the post is part of, 1 am describing the evangelical belief system about the rapture, which includes the mass murder of Jews.
I, a Jew, was not making threats against Jews.
I, a Jew, was educating about the dangers that the evangelical community poses to Jews in order to *protect us*
This is obviously and clearly not a threat or an excuse for suspension.
Please reinstate my account.

Another casualty that definitely isn't connected to the Bluesky CEO's ongoing meltdown.

Totally just a coincidence.

Excerpt from article:

Third update: The Follow Tracker labeller — the tool that showed who was following nine prominent racists, transphobes, and other figures popular with the US alt-right — is shutting down. Its operator insists this isn’t because of Bluesky’s CEO (and thus, presumably, not because the labeller identified her as following two well known anti-trans activists), but rather “because some of you can’t be trusted to use this information reasonably and responsibly,” which is a curious justification coming from an account literally named @for.shame.wtf.

I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting.

I got half an hour in 🏊‍♂️, with a family of 3 in the opposite end of the pool. I got out, and then more people came in (group of 5?), and the family got out, too.

That's the most activity I've observed when I'm at the pool.

I'm trying to gear myself up to go. Need to finish gathering stuff to go out with me, shower quickly, and then go out.

But there are squirrels, and I am slow. So, sometime in the next little bit-ish! 🏊‍♂️

I guess that's at least an answer with hope, instead of "did you try audible?" Lol

And feeling the need to hurry up and do it after less than a year here makes it feel a lot more urgent.

I'm gonna document my steps on mstdn and use that as the basis to write a more cohesive guide.

Have I mentioned how much I despise capitalism? 🤬🖕

I would much prefer to moderate my own interactions, especially with ... *gestures widely, wildly, and vaguely*

Saintless in Lake Havasu 🦄🦓🧜‍♂️🧳 @saintless.bsky.social · 3d

Anyway, as much as I think Jay fucked up big, I don't think there's any single source of moderation that is gonna make me want to hang out there constantly, anymore.

I'm very capable of taking myself off of the Bluesky app, and hosting my own stuff, which I may choose to sometimes share on ATProto.

Saintless in Lake Havasu 🦄🦓🧜‍♂️🧳 @saintless.bsky.social · 3d

Being raised JW, I did not understand very many slurs, at that point. I hadn't yet been exposed to the massive variety of ways humans try to devalue other people with words, yet.

Anyway, I found patient friends there, who explained why, and I eventually understood.

Saintless in Lake Havasu 🦄🦓🧜‍♂️🧳 @saintless.bsky.social · 3d

What was your first experience of having communication with strangers moderated on the Internet?

I barely used BBSs, so for me it was chatrooms. The first one that really stuck in my head was an MSN bisexual chatroom, where the rules told me that "fruit loops" was inappropriate.

Saintless in Lake Havasu 🦄🦓🧜‍♂️🧳 @saintless.bsky.social · 3d

I do think at one point, I probably said I could write some piece of related software to connect some stuff, but I wasn't suggesting I am anywhere close to writing a social media app. I just wanna eliminate them. We don't need social media overlords. Like, at all. We can do this without them.
