The best weapons we average schumucks have against facism is humor and knowledge. Knowing the truth and mocking the absurd can be extremely powerful in the face of wannabe authoritarian arrogance.

if you go to any protest action you should be wearing a mask and clothing that does not reveal your figure as the feds are filming you in 4K so they can run you through their data databases.

this coincidentally is why you don’t sign up to RSVP for an event under fascism

an agent on the roof of the broadview ice facility is filming the crowd of protesters below with a dslr.

a protester joking asked, “does it shoot 4k?” and the agent nodded his head yes.

two masked agents stand on the roof of the broadview ice facility. the agent on the left points a dslr at the crowd. the agent on the right looks on, while holding a gun that shoots pepper balls.

A comic where a woman is forcing kiwi to sign a contract.

The woman says.
“YES DOLL! SIGN THAT CONTRACT AND BECOME WHAT YOU WHERE ALWAYS MEANT TO BE
MY PROPERTY!!!”

Legal Eagle appears and says

“Actually, here's why that probably wouldn't hold up in court.”

And the girls respond
“LEGAL EAGLE!!!”

If we were living under fascism, none of you would be here daring to post things. You'd be erasing your social media accounts and keeping your head down; you'd know that peacocking your faux-bravery on a network would expose you to being disappeared.
You have no idea what "fascism" really means.

shane @mouthfulofcavities.bsky.social · 10d

the regime is zip tying toddlers and ripping them away from their mothers unclothed... calling it fascism upsets this neo-con.

Comparing an account that posts silly shit from Bluesky to an account that is actively trying to kill people is... something

Now, in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the case originated, the results are in.

Only 43 families out of 160,000 students have exercised that new right.

Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

its unclear but there's some sort of top level ban they can apply that means it still works

So a black man saying "you're racist" gets him banned from another server, while a pedo fan doxxing trans minors and telling your followers to kill them IRL gets the CEO to rewrite the TOS so you can stay

Aaron and Jay trying so hard to fabricate evidence to absolve them of their lack of professionalism that they themselves forgot that we can literally look at the alt text as it was and see they're making this shit up.

They are so bad at their own jobs they forgot how the protocol works.

Important update, with emails sent 9 hours apart,

Link said the alt text they gave in email isn’t him. He does not write in all lowercase .

Screenshot of text message sent just now of him replying to me.

Every capitalist I've dealt with almost always mistake money for proof that they’ve done/said something meaningful when really they’re boring insecure people trying to fill the void with status. When that fails, they use their power to make others around them feel small so they can feel important.

Haus of Decline @hausofdecline.bsky.social · 11d

The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions.

Exemplifying how ineffectual the 'decentralization' has been so far, you actually can't see Link's account even if you are logged in through Blacksky.

BlueSky staff really hate it when you use their decentralized moderation tools to hold them accountable

Be it following a transphobe or looking at porn on your company account, they'll ban you if you notice it using the tools they created for surveilling other people!
