just met a woman at a party & asked her what she did for work. could barely understand her because she was so soft spoken & had an accent so i just nodded a bunch.

“she’s in culture,” her friend said.

i finally realised that i was talking to
ANNA DELVEY

I ASKED ANNA DELVEY WHAT SHE DID FOR WORK

Shutting down the For Shame labeler, saying it wasn't an order given by Bluesky and it was just that people were being too toxic about it, and a lot of the exact people who had been toxic about it are Big Mad

Dunno about Skywatch, haven't looked into any news there

it would be fun for operators of a social media platform to set a bunch of bots loose and offer job interviews to anyone who has a decent hit rate at clocking them and reporting them as bots

i have no reason to believe that this exists, but *i'd* do it

the uncertainty is too scary to think about, so it must instead be the hidden motives of someone who *does* have control

These are pretty decent. They're kind of just their own thing, not really trying to imitate something else.

maybe "impact over intent" is a false dichotomy, and instead the right question is whether we should consider it *virtuous* to post no-context screenshots

For real? Not how it works for me. A *quote* of a muted account is hidden, but somebody who's muted can't make the thread disappear by replying, in my experience.

And searching from:me still turns everything up, dunno if that's a setting somewhere

Libs of TikTok didn't *start* with stochastic terrorism, as i understand it

but this particular Louvre post seems fine to me, hopefully people recognize that the screenshot is just banter. lots of folks to mute/block in the replies though.

Same for sure. It took me a second to understand what happened here. I was joking about whether there would someday be annoying discourse about aUtistic people reclaiming the r-slur for ourselves, not talking about aRtists, if that's what you meant.
