You are a vile person who chooses to shield nazis over their victims.

Your site will die and become irrelevant within a year. You had an opportunity, and you squandered it, sidling up to the worst of the worst.

A discord screenshot of a message i sent
Watching video essay on aspect of real life getting worse
Issue comes down to unchecked capitalism
Watching video essay on aspect of the internet getting worse
Issue comes down to unchecked capitalism
Watching more videos on website that knows me better than i do
Unchecked capitalism
Watching my brother get pulled out of high school because of the provincial teachers strike
War and genocide rage across the world
Entirely spurred on by the military indistrial complex
Climate change is killing our planet
Spurred on by the oil and automotive industries
Issue comes down to the provincial government prioritizing oil companies over public services funding
Sniff sniff i smell capitalism
Social media sites are constantly getting worse
Ceo is a racist, transphobe, and fascist

Welcome to the capitalist innovation museum we got

- weapons of mass destruction
- button you push that makes the planet hotter
- markets that intentionally starve people

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Automation labeling individuals with prosthetics as “adult content” needs to be understood as ableism, full stop

Aaron Rodericks @aaron.bsky.team · 5d

It's an automated system, so unfortunately this is an error that gets made surprisingly often with prosthetics.

The firehose is public, any jackass with an AI to train already has access to every single image. This is intentional, same reason why your list of people you block is public, built right into the system.

It's the "we have no input" part that's the problem.

Your images are already stolen.

Pookleblinky @pookleblinky.bsky.social · 4d

The thing with bluesky using AI to moderate images isn't that it's training on them, think for 10 fucking seconds about it, but that they are saying "yeah we outsourced that shit entirely, we got no control over it. It says label, we label" etc

Im so fucking mad at how fast they were able to kill bluesky. The adult content ban, them lying about ai, the ceo crashing out and banning black people and trans people, holy shit. Dont expect much more from me here even before i leave. I'm leaving social media entirely. Fuck this shit.

Laggianput @laggianput.pmd.social · 4d

Alright. Now that its out that bsky is ai training off the entire site, that seals it. I'm out. I'll be leaving in a week when the new TOS starts. If any mutuals wanna keep in touch, add me on discord. If i recognize you i'll add you. I'm not staying here any more.

So, they -do- put all images, which of course includes artwork, through AI evaluation. Which, of course, reveals that Bluesky leadership has been lying about the use of AI the -entire time-.

Aaron Rodericks @aaron.bsky.team · 4d

thehive.ai evaluates all images posted to the site. We don't actually provide any input.

Honestly if the ceo of bluesky is gonna pull this kind of shit than i might as well just leave. Their last chance of keeping me around on bsky is if they pull back on the guideline changes this coming month. Otherwise, im gonna quit when they drop. No more social media if the ceos cant be normal

being trans, being fat, being disabled -- these things will teach you who people are in their heart of hearts, often within seconds of meeting them.

⛧ DOLLY DARKO ☭ @thedoomshine.social · 8d

a cool thing about trans people is that just existing in normal every day life on social media we will cause people who would otherwise pass as just a normal liberal reveal that they were actually just insane reactionary conservatives the entire time and also total fucking cowards about it

Jay, you are hurting people. With your actions, lack of actions, lack of compassion, and lack of tact, you are hurting people.

People who adored your platform, saw it as home, the one safe social space, people who talked publicly about excitement to contribute when paid services were rolled out.

But surely with how big of a *success* bluesky is, it would never work, right?
