Apologies to mutuals from Twitter if I haven't followed you back. The influx from Twitter has lead to a lot of new followers and it's very hard to keep track.

I'll hopefully get to you eventually.

Any explanation that isn't "the CEO of Bluesky was embarassed by a labeller, permanently banned the person who embarassed them shortly afterwards and a few days later had the labeller shut down" makes less sense and requires more leaps of logic.

I can understand why people would respect Jonathan Portes speaking out on Israel's genocide but please note that, to this day, he supports austerity that kills disabled people.

He defends his work at the DWP under the coalition and he backed Starmer's welfare cuts.

Me: "Occam's razor tells us the answer is that the labeller is being shut down becuase Link used it to point out Bluesky's CEO was following a racist, for which he was subsequently banned."

Very Smart Grown Up liberal: "Occam's Razor doesn't apply here and you're mentally ill if you disagree."

Really feeling the contrast with Control which was an amazing, smooth game that at worst had momentarily slightly blurry textures.

On a lighter note I've started playing Jedi Survivor and the story is great, the gameplay is good and the engine is... acceptable?

I've not had crashes yet but man am I very aware that the game is working and nothing more.

Slowdowns, flashes on the edge of screen as things load in etc.

*You* should be held to account, I should be praised for the sensible compromises I'm making.

It really is just Comfortables doing a variation "I wholly believe in free speech and protesters saying something I don't like deserve to be beaten by police in assault armor."

*Extremely Bluesky voice*

"Making fun of people who follow fascists is utterly unacceptable behaviour.

Anyone who does that or criticises me from the left deserves to be banned."

Benny Gantz's party Blue & White was polling at 40% in some instances immediately following 10/07/2023 and now he is consistently polling below the 3.25% threshold lmfao

Wild that the bluesky moderation tools that label people for following fascists has ties to the bluesky staff and is getting shutdown once the staff all started to follow fascists!

People facing accountability and being made fun of for doing bad things is utterly unacceptable on Bluesky.

Some of you are blaming @jay.bsky.team or @bsky.app in general, or claiming that this is being forced by @moderation.bsky.app. That could not be further from the truth. I'm shutting it down of my own volition because some of you can't be trusted to use this information reasonably and responsibly.

Why thanky- oh you're being sarcastic!

Well in that case it should be really easy to refute my point.

The dominoes meme.

A man in a blue shirt and creme trousers crouches next to a series of dominoes, each about twice the size of the last. He is poised to push over the smallest one.

The smallest domino is labelled "Rugrats airs for the first time in August 1991."

The largest domino is labelled "Reptar fights fascism in 2025."

At a guess probably more, Trump and those around him hate China and would do anything to stop the USA being ecclipsed by them, would view war with China as a good distraction from domestic unrest and they can start it easily with ICBMs.
