"You let one ant stand up to us, and they all might stand up.
Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one,
and if they ever figure that out
there goes our way of life!!
It's not about food!
It's about keeping those ants in line."

Apparently, a lot of people don't know who's responsible for what in our government, so here's a friendly reminder. How about we start blaming people who are responsible for the problems, and not who we're told to blame.

There is in fact a difference between having a political discussion, and having an argument.

Bluesky has grown by over 3M people in the last week — welcome!

With every wave of growth naturally comes an increase in moderation reports. Here’s a status report on how the Trust & Safety team is handling it:

In the past 24 hours, we have received more than 42,000 reports (an all-time high for one day). We’re receiving about 3,000 reports/hour. To put that into context, in all of 2023, we received 360k reports.

We’re triaging this large queue so the most harmful content such as CSAM is removed quickly.

"Don't Engage, Just Block" absolutely IS the Bluesky motto. The notion of a "Bluesky Elder" is vaguely ridiculous but the ONE THING that we oldheads are good for is telling the new folks that blocking without engagement is praxis, and encouraging them to do it early and often.
"Don't Engage, Just Block" should be the Bluesky motto.

We have a chance to start over and make this place better than the other place.
Just blocked a retail account that spammed itself and its products into an unrelated comment thread of mine, so, retail accounts, let that be a heads up, that sort of activity is not going to work out for you here. "Don't Engage, Just Block" applies to you too, if you do things like that.
