Just a reminder that anti-queer and anti-trans policies aren't actually popular.

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

we need to bring back Circles for social media, being able to differentiate between intended audiences feels very Necessary

is this a thing a federated at proto site could implement one-sidedly? it could similarly serve the same purpose that liike private accounts do but without a seperate account

this reminds me very much of how musk would complain about twitter features needing to be fixed or removed whenever they posed a problem for him and/or the chuds he increasingly molded the site to serve

not saying

just saying

screenshot of a post from Rose, a member of the Bluesky team who’s been called out recently for following the Heritage Foundation

post text: “The ‘follow’ button confounds ‘I’m looking at your content’ and ‘I endorse this content.’ We need two different ways to signal the difference between the two.”

Fun little side note is that one of my labelers indicates her as a JD Vance follower because of course she is

The COO of bluesky, Rose, is following the heritage foundation account on bluesky.

Soyweiser @soyweiser.bsky.social · 1d

She is the COO en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_o... of bsky. This is worrying because after the 'we are turning waffles into an anti-trans thing' by the CEO the CEO started to follow a transphobe. Shows a pattern.

Wonder when we find out one of them follows the discovery institute.

you'd think Democrats would realize that effective messaging can shift public opinion and electoral outcomes after watching Republicans wage relentless and super-effective propaganda warfare on the nation's dim electorate for going on five fucking decades

Weird. It’s almost like making accusations generates friction which generates news which rallies your supporters.

What’s up with this… Is 1) The Hive really being used, and 2) using images here for generative AI? Pretty bad look if true

To anyone thinking about joining BlueSky, especially artists: everything you post is used to train generative Al models.
BlueSky uses Al to label content for moderation, and to do that they use a company called https://t hehive.ai/. If you look through their privacy policy, you will see that they all content sent to them to train models for all their services, which include generative Al for both text and images.
It's a built in «feature" and cannot be turned off.

So an anime girl with prosthetics was labeled "explicit sexual content", & then we learn that prosthetics are commonly labeled this way, & then we learn that automod has been outsourced to this ai company, & THEN we learn that the ai company might be using all our images to train ai & mods go silent
