We can run our own moderation yet Link is banned, Erin Biba is banned, Palestinian accounts are banned, Trans people accounts are banned.

Who's running the moderation again?

(Am I going to get banned for this? Probably.)

We’re system architects at core. We built a decentralized network so you could run your own moderation, but beyond that our upcoming healthy discourse project is taking some swings at the interaction model that drives these dynamics on Bluesky. Excited to start seeing it in action.

Lancaster.

(In my opinion everyone else is correct. How the Pa. Dutch came up Lane-kiss-ter, doesn't make sense in my brain.)

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

"From our side, yes,” the Palestinians reached an agreement, the Hamas official said, but added they needed to “finalize some points” with the mediators.

Ask yourself what you would do if you found out your friends were hanging out with child rapists. You would not be friends with them anymore!

Instead everyone has turned this into another political talking point.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

BREAKING: Israeli warplanes carried out an airstrike in central Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip.
A thick column of grey smoke billows upward from the middle of a densely built urban area in Khan Younis, southern Gaza. The blast site is surrounded by tightly packed concrete buildings, some with visible damage and blackened rooftops. Satellite dishes and water tanks line the roofs in the foreground, while the smoke plume dominates the skyline, rising high into the pale blue sky. The scene captures the aftermath of an Israeli airstrike, showing the devastation spreading through the heart of the residential area.

Because racism and violence is as American as apple pie. But if you blame the Russians for it you can absolve yourself of any responsibility....

"Putin couldn't do a better job" of attacking America.

How do we know this isn't Putin's doing?

Running around w/ a constantly activated "fight" response doesn't mean you "hate people" or you're "destined" to be alone forever. It likely means part of you is sick & tired of being invalidated, & needs explicit attention in your internal work-- & it's done waiting & hoping.

- Grim that media barons are buying up mainstream media and making them fascism-enabling propaganda engines

- ULTAGRIM that so many of the big-name journalists escaping that fire are voluntarily leaping directly into a completely separate newsletter website trap set by the same fascists

Fair enough, but if Digital IDs are rolled out as a 'right to work' check, it won't be long before they are used to access services... or even to be required for voting if the political pendulum swings. Those railing against migrants working have plenty of other grievances.

On social media and their website, the Liberal Democrats have claimed “Keir Starmer says everyone in the UK will be required to have mandatory digital ID”.

But this isn’t the case, and we can’t find any evidence the Prime Minister said it was.

Don’t listen to anyone who minimizes the threat of a government that “only” wants to tighten the authoritarian surveillance noose for “some” people. THATS ALWAYS HOW IT BEGINS YOU FASCISM ENABLERS.

Not to mention that the “only” people in Starmer’s Orwellian scheme refers to anyone who works. How many people will never have to work in their entire lives? It is effectively everyone at that rate.

But wait it gets better. Check out this “gotcha”. The government said lololol
In addition, while the press release also said the scheme would “in time make it simpler to apply for services like driving licences, childcare and welfare, while streamlining access to tax records”, the government told us digital ID won’t be mandatory to access these services.

This wasn’t done in secret. They wanted the whole world to see this.
In video footage from NewsNation, whose camera crew was invited to join the raid, masked agents are shown surrounding the building wearing green uniforms, with vests and yellow lettering spelling out "U.S.
Customs and Border Patrol".
Some officers pointed handguns equipped with tactical lights at the building; others held long rifles and wore helmets equipped with cameras and lights. Helicopters hovered in the sky, and agents on the ground threw flashbang grenades. Hastily awakened residents were only given a few seconds to open before agents broke doors down and forced their way inside, according to recordings by residents witnessing the raid.

“Masked agents made people line up outside the building, where they asked each resident their name and country of origin … [and] if they had documents that proved they resided in the U.S. legally. … Black U.S. citizens, were loaded into vans where they were questioned further.”
Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children
Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Hello, I’m from Gaza.
We’re living through hell
homes destroyed,memories erased,loved ones gone. Even the innocence of our children has been shattered.
Every bit of help—even a small donation—could save a life or rekindle a flicker of hope.

You don't have to be good at fascism to be good at it unfortunately.

that said: I think the "it's not fascism unless they're good at it" brand of analysis probably isn't the move

The last year is probably related to AI and data centers, but you can’t blame the entire increase on that.
