I mean, might be perfectly innocent and not some sort of op, but why give corporations / stalkers / nasty folk it either.

Well it certainly will be now, after that. The trouble is I'm not 100% certain I believe it was always going to be. Why would anyone with a lick of sense release that monstrosity and expect public approval? At any stage of a project?

I'm sure I did but looking back on it would be an interesting experiment in seeing if the human body can self-combust due to cringe 💀🔥

We know for a fact resistance movements are infiltrated by agents that exist to sow discord and damage any momentum those movements have. A big, popular account that always seems to be beyond moral reproach but also somehow constantly manages to damage any momentum may actually not be a coincidence

Ooh, that'll be the medicine needed, I am sure. Looking forward to it myself!

I found a petition to ban smart glasses in public spaces that needs a bit of a boost, if anyone else feels strongly about this: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
Petition: Ban the use of smart glasses with recording capability in public spaces
We ask the Government to ban smart glasses with cameras in public spaces. We believe they allow secret filming, and undermine privacy, safety and the public’s right to know when they’re being recorded...

It's also "we don't have anyone to work in our crop fields now! Give up your office job for the fatherland! Shit, we really didn't think this through!"

Any complaint about Bluesky that isn't specifically about moderation decisions or site architecture is just you saying "my friends are boring as shit". Get better friends.
