so the devs are going all in defending Jesse Singal and making this platform a safe space for TERFs

I know posters generally dislike Mastodon & understand why, but the influx of bksy shitposters this week has really improved the vibe + the Phanpy app also does wonders making it poster friendly

Do you want an orchi, and are you worried that you'll never be able to get one, either because of cost, or lack of access in your country?

Well earlier this year, some friends and I went to Thailand to get an orchi for as cheap as possible, and one of us wrote a guide on the process!

Anyway, today I will be losing my mind at how easily hackable by bad actors various solemn declarations about respecting identities and neurodiversity are because people make the solemn declaration but never actually do any of the work to include people with awkward identities or neurotypes.

One of the All Time Alsvid Wotansdottir Gaming Online moments was when Laurelai Bailey ignorantly invited to her 'SEX POSITIVE+++ ISHTAR EIGHTPOINTS SERVER" and then banned me within days because I said something about white woman cheecks, alerting her to the fact I was black.

ghostyTrickstress (june egbert - official) @june-egbert.bsky.social · 1d

or, also frighteningly common, "that one you blocked because it's a front for laurelai bailey to get vulnerable trans women she can turn over up the feds".

... even if it absolutely wasn't. didn't matter, the threat was enough to destroy their federation.

I need people not from Portland to understand that a majority of the escalations happening here are the direct result of the far right grifting machine. They are another arm of the fascist regime and have been manufacturing content and spreading lies to manufacture consent. It's as simple as that.

link and umbire just got banned because squashing any outspoken black cis men who fw the dolls is something that certain powerful people feel necessary. certain powerful people are afraid of what happens if those men are allowed to have a platform 👁️

Jay is no business running Bluesky if she sees Jesse Signal as an asset and Link as a so much of a problem/threat that he needs to be banned

So first they hid the Vic Mignogna stans mod list, then reinstated it, then hid it again, and now this?

Like this is explicitly just protecting sex pests & their supporters, and also transphobes
