As an experiment, went through and blocked a few of the lists that one account who is trying to block everyone got put on.
Never interacted with these people at all. I am now "a fascist, infiltrator, moron" and half of Melodia's vocabulary.
Don't use block lists.

A screenshot of my lists on page on clearsky. It shows lists I have been added to in the past 8-10 hours.
Cruthritter Block list (fascist coalition)
Melodiaparker twatwaffles, idiots, wankers, bellends, MAGATs, (the worst accounts on Bluesky)
Tparsli blocking morons (morons who probably don't understand mute Vs block)
B-tron10thousand infiltrators (block and report these. They are not to be trusted. They promote conspiracy, create fake lists to label activists as evildoers, and generally just are annoying and troublesome.)

Gotta kill the maga (mbga? Eh), obviously, for the greater good.
You can sustain a marriage on Doctor Who arguments, so ? jumper is the jackpot winner.
Unfortunately that means fedora gets one night of clammy passion.

It is, once again, a bung to the big business who run these scams, I mean schemes, like a sales business, paying untrained people comission to provide no meaningful help.

I always felt back then that the idea of innateness mattered mostly to the straights. They needed a way around their idea of sin, and it was being wrong to persecute someone for something they couldn't help.
Probably explains a lot of biphobia too.

Anyway, it's a scam philosophy.

It's been a dodgy symbol all of my life and I'm nearly 40. I grew up in Wales, so my perception is a little skewed, but not that much.
Can't reclaim this shit through a sticker campaign.

As a white working class person I am really fucking tired of being told who I am and what I believe.
And even more tired of being used as fig leaves for the beliefs of the rich, like you.
You only give a shit about us when you can use us as a shield. We can talk for ourselves, tyvm.

Yeah basically, they're going to give people access to more or less all the tools and assets, let players go nuts.

It's a good rule, I've been playing 3 years, never spent anything.
But that's the horrible thing with gacha, no matter how fun it is, someone else is having their life ruined by it.

It is very frustrating, yeah.
I enjoy trash, but this isn't like defending some 75 book cosy mystery series, and the only reason people think it is is because Pratchett was funny.
Bad enough it's fantasy, but comedy-fantasy? Must be worthless.
Argh.

I hope we don't have an answer to the question of how this place keeps the lights on.

The Spooktacular Rhi @digitalisnarcissus.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah but it's still out there even once AI is gone, this shit remains.
Can't remember who came up with the term digital asbestos, but it's far too apt.
We'll be finding it in the walls of the internet for decades.

Randomly found a band called Parcs this Bandcamp Friday and they've only got 200 listens/month on Spotify.
They're like electro-indie? Idk, I'm not good at genres.

There is a game maker mode coming out at some point, so maybe someone will.

They'd only come in and tell you to speak English.

The Spooktacular Rhi @digitalisnarcissus.bsky.social · 2d

Get out of Discover you idiot.

Cool, I got put on a list called "Magats, Zionists, Genociders, Orcs, Nazis & Shi*theels" purely because I blocked someone I'd never otherwise interacted with, but "slop" is too offensive.

Think it's a person who just thinks their one line is very clever for some reason.

Tried to actually sign up to one of those once. They ghosted me, just never took the money nor replied to emails. Very weird.

The Spooktacular Rhi @digitalisnarcissus.bsky.social · 3d

I can't, but I trust you on this important matter.

The Spooktacular Rhi @digitalisnarcissus.bsky.social · 3d

I think the fact they aren't road legal is very much case closed on this one.
Different if they have the context of other questionable upgrades at a specialist store, but at Walmart with all the other car gubbins is terrible.

The Spooktacular Rhi @digitalisnarcissus.bsky.social · 3d

Yeah, it's funny, but I don't think it's idk, good. For your brain or for the community.
Definitely not LOTT though, that's absurd.

Oh he makes things? Out of wood? The same wood that paper is made out of?
Very sus. Very nepo.

Ebay can/do say "you can't dropship" but they can't say "you can't use Amazon logistics to store and ship things you own" because that would be anti-competitive.
But it does *look* exactly the same.
Amazon don't like it either, it's likely they'll get caught eventually if they're lying.

The Spooktacular Rhi @digitalisnarcissus.bsky.social · 3d

The problem with dropshipping from the POV of marketplaces is chain of ownership.
You've never formed a contract with the seller so your longer term legal rights don't kick in.
There's also stock management, customers more likely to be disappointed, but it's mostly that.

TIMELINE CLEANSE

a photo of a recently pulled-up carrot held by its leaves in a kitchen. The carrot has three roots - two larger longer ones either side, and one smaller central one. this makes it look like the lower half of a well-endowed human body

And wrong. As has been pointed out by me, and others, saying slurs about things neither makes them sapient nor makes us think they are.

Anyway, I initially misread the thread and thought you were OP, so I'm going to go now, with my apologies to the actual OP for the notifs.

The Spooktacular Rhi @digitalisnarcissus.bsky.social · 4d

Okay ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
People can be bad at their jobs.
