Just a heads upfor nsfw artists using paypal Its probably a good idea to only take payment through Invoices anyway, basic details are fine BUT /NOTHING/ involving nsfw , furry , or fetish topics should ever go anywhere. "Single character commission" is a-okay. they dont needa know shit else ever.

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

@Inker_comics: I JUST GOT FUCKED UP REAL BAD [shared a screenshot of his suspension from PayPal]

@MrQuessos: [quote tweeting @Inker_comics] If you are going to pay an artist via PayPal, please DO NOT include ANYTHING related to commission or nsfw in the payment description. Whether out of ignorance or innocence, you could screw up someone's job.

Anyone I missed? Not gonna put JS on there despite clearly being his own biggest fan because I ain't gonna just provoke a man who is known for harrassment campaigns. but anyone else?

I only want to put people in there that have very clearly meddled with the process to save his ass from a ban.

huh thats weird, if your report relies on or relates to conduct that happened outside of Bluesky, you direct users to provide evidence so your moderation team could factor that into consideration.

Why would this be here if it was never your intention to act on off-platform evidence, Aaron?

Sleepy-me skipped a few connecting thoughts, I was thinking about the phrasing near the end of this screenshot. It's interesting to say offsite actions can impact a moderation decision. Rn reports are still 300 char w no attachments, totally fine for normal stuff

You get to play with atproto yet?

You are twisting yourself into an nth dimensional pretzel trying to justify keeping a bigot on this website when the very people he wants dead are the people who helped make this website what it is.

This is just sickening.

You looked up teen porn on your actual goddamn account and banned someone for pointing at that entirely public information. You unbanned jesse singal despite overwhelming testimony of his hate speech and harrassment by editing the tos to avoid banning him. Give us literally any reason to trust you.

A newborn world caught in the act. NASA’s new image shows WISPIT 2b, a baby planet forming inside a ring of gas and dust around its star. It’s the first-ever photo of its kind, offering a rare glimpse into planetary birth.

I said this earlier this year. AI is ramping up electricity and who pays for it? YOU pay for it.

AI data centers are driving electricity costs up across the board. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

AI Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring

Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
