I live by my writing. Pick up When the Earth Was Green for yourself or someone you know who could use a prehistoric nature walk. It helps me, helps indies, and today you can still get free shipping. 🌱

the wise admins of bluesky have decided that creating a moderation list of AI slop posters is a no no

Hi there,
Your Bluesky account
(@carrion.bsky.social) has created a list called "Al Slop Posters" that may violate our Community Guidelines. We've temporarily hidden this list from other users because it contains one or more of these issues.
- Harmful language such as insults or slurs
- Unverified claims
- Appears intended to shame or abuse users

Pillowfort have specifically taken measures that have negatively impacted their reach to support NSFW.

- They pay more for a high-risk processor.

- They are not on app stores to avoid censorship there.

- They are 100% user funded to avoid needing to appeal to advertiser whims.

seems REAL shitty that one of the earliest & most ambitious dev projects was by & for black users who *immediately upon arrival* didn’t feel welcome or safe & wanted to migrate to their own server…where bluesky can still nuke one of the biggest posters for a common & pretty innocuous meme!

Unfortunate update: Link reached out to BlueSky and got email back now on reason.

His appeal is denied. He will remain permanently banned on BlueSky’s side.

Here are the screenshots he just sent me as of 8:22 AM EST(my time)

A screenshot of an email from the Bluesky Moderation Team with the subject line “Bluesky Account Behavior” sent at 22:15. The email states that a Bluesky account controlled by the recipient, with the handle @spacelawshitpost.me, posted a reply with an image where the alt text reads: Charlie Kirk sitting in a white T-shirt that says “Freedom.” A negative consequence follows. The email indicates this post violates Community Guidelines regarding violent or threatening speech, specifically listing threats of violence or physical harm against individuals, groups, institutions, or the general public, and incitement of self-harm or suicide.

A screenshot of an email continuation from the Bluesky Moderation Team displaying a bulleted list of Community Guidelines violations. The first bullet point describes threats of violence or physical harm as including threats or encouragement of violence against individuals, groups, institutions, or the general public. The second bullet point defines incitement of self-harm or suicide as content that encourages self-harm or suicide. The third bullet point explains wishes of harm as expressions of a desire for harm directed at a specific person or group. Below the bullets, a paragraph states that users may not use Bluesky to break the law or cause harm to others and that all users must be treated with respect. The next paragraph informs the recipient that as a result of these violations, your account has been taken down. A closing paragraph thanks the user for doing their part to keep Bluesky a welcoming and empowering place for all users and instructs them to email moderation@blueskyweb.xyz if they have questions or wish to appeal the decision. The email ends with the signature Bluesky Moderation Team.

A screenshot of an email from the Bluesky Moderation Team sent at 08:11 with the subject line Re: Bluesky Account Behavior addressed To: Hide My Email. The email reads:

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out to appeal the takedown of your account on Bluesky. We have carefully reviewed your case, including the information you provided and the activity that led to the suspension of your account.

After investigating, we have determined that your account activity was in violation of our community guidelines, specifically promoting hateful content or being disruptive to other users. We take these guidelines seriously to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all our users.

As a result, we regret to inform you that your appeal has been denied, and your account will remain suspended. This decision is final and cannot be reversed. We understand that this may be disappointing news, but we must prioritize the well-being of our community and maintain a consistent enforcement of our policies. We encourage you to review our community guidelines to better understand the expectations we have for user behavior on our platform. Please do not create new accounts, since those will be taken down for ban evasion.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

A photo of a pewter skeleton cat paw resting on a dark rainbow stone. The wrist bones form a bail so that it may be worn as a pendant. The skeleton cat paw has been reproduced from a wax carving and is substantial rather than delicate.

Open edition linocut prints of a tiger twisting in a perfectly circular pattern. The prints are technically monotypes; each one has had different color watercolor washes applied and different colors used for ink lines.

A pink rubber linocut stamp is at the top of the picture; below it is the resulting print. The artwork is of an American lion (P. Atrox) jawbone fossil. The style is full of thick heavy lines.

An example raven mask using a pattern the artist sells on their website. It is made of EVA foam, is all black, and the feathers have been "drawn" on using a woodburning tool to melt the feather shapes. It has bright gold eyes that have been painted on mesh to maintain visibility.

Been trying to work myself up about posting OCs on main more often. To that end, here is a chimken

A reference sheet for a human-faced cockatrice named Chance. One pose shows him unclothed, while the other shows him wearing a backwards cap and work boots. He is around 3 feet tall. He has pale blue track marks around the inside joint of each elbow.

Reference for other parts of Chance, a human-faced cockatrice, showing a handful of facial expressions - scared, sad, and curious. An extra pose shows him running with a full bucket of liquid in his mouth.
