[re: transmisogyny, transmisogynoir]

the practice of forcing Black and brown transfems to choose between allegiance to their transness and femininity, or allegiance to their racial identities, is one of the ways that transmisogynoir manifests in our communities.

the entire point of that whole […]

it always sucks to be reminded that radlib men will use Black and brown transfems as a rhetorical tool - a faceless, virtuous foil to the evil, racist White Trans Woman - up until the point where they start talking about transmisogynoir.

and then, all of a sudden, they're ignored, deracialized […]

[food (veg)]

I spent much of this morning driving to and from the nearest COVID-safe dentist, and I realized on the way that my drive home went right by a South Indian restaurant that I haven't been to in ages. so I swung by and ordered my favorite brunch foods for takeout: vada, masala dosa […]

"but but scolds on fedi-" I don't know how to convince you that you should care about disabled people

Rachel vs. The Evil Dead (tm) @ykantrachelread.social.treehouse.systems.ap.brid.gy · 1d

fedi's culture of accessibility for disabled, visually impaired, and mentally ill people is honestly one of the best things about this place - and I don't want that to change. disabled and mad folks will never be a priority to corporate interests. if you can't practice a little disability […]

some people are telling on themselves when they complain about e.g. having to put things behind CWs here.

"the two to five seconds that it takes to put my post behind a CW are more important than the mental health of the traumatized, marginalized people around me"

[Bluesky meta, ableism]

Bluesky's auto-moderation flagging depictions of disability as NSFW is, honestly, not all that surprising. disabled people's bodies are othered and desexed all the damn time, everywhere in our society. even media where disabled people are allowed things like sexual […]

[IT GETS EVEN WORSE! Bluesky Auto-Labeling Disabled People As Porn]

Fun news! The AI moderator they use that auto-labels disabled people as pornography on Bluesky? It's connected to an AI image and video generator!

So all art and videos posted on Bluesky not […]

[Original post on sakurajima.moe]

Skeet from sentient piece of feces Aaron Rodericks that reads: thehive.ai evaluates all images posted to the site. We don't actually provide any input.

A post showing that the company responsible for AI moderation on Bluesky has an AI image AND video generator. Seeing as how it gets access to every single picture/video posted here, I'm sure there's a special contract to avoid them using that data! Lol, lmao even.

like, if you want more centralized moderation on fedi, then your options are:

* professionalized, corporatized moderation (congratulations, you've just re-created bluesky)

* a team of volunteers (picture the Ro/Pixie axis getting power over a huge chunk of fedi, because that's where this […]

so many people's imaginations for moderation schemes seem to be collectively stuck on: "let's centralize authority in the hands of a clique of cops, except like, let's also make sure they're _good_ cops"

fucking vanguardist-ass logic

[Bluesky Auto-Labeling Disabled People As Porn]

Lmao, Bluesky is labeling pictures of folks with prosthetics as porn. Their auto labeling bot bullshit seems to make this error "surprisingly often" I'm told.

Love knowing I'm assigned porn at birth by AI. :neocat_think_woozy:

#disability

A screenshot of two Bluesky posts. The first shows pictures of an anime character that uses prosthetics. It reads:

Hi @aaron.bsky.team / @moderation.bsky.app

Thank you for removing the Adult Content (Explicit Sexual Images) label from images of a person with prosthetics.

I hope you explain to your moderators with acrotomophilia that depictions of disabled ppl are not “explicit sexual imagery”

It has a response from aaron that reads: It's an automated system, so unfortunately this is an error that gets made surprisingly often with prosthetics.

it seems to me that liberal feminists are committed to coercively de-gendering marginalized men - to treating them like some secret third thing rather than _as men._

it's true that marginalized men are often feminized under patriarchy. however, they're still men, and they can readily benefit […]

transfems getting bottom surgery this month are in No-Cock October

Rachel vs. The Evil Dead (tm) @ykantrachelread.social.treehouse.systems.ap.brid.gy · 2d

I feel like there's a general assumption that, when a number of trans women and transfeminine people exist openly on a social media website, we're doing so without facing the sort of abuse, bullying, and disposability culture that we often complain about.

after all, if we're having so much […]

once again, the role of the tranny is to suffer so that other people have their needs addressed. even when we're the targets du jour, we're asked to step aside and let others have the floor.

so, let me get this straight.

Bluesky is under fire because their CEO is throwing her weight behind prominent transphobes, to the point of literally inventing a transphobic dogwhistle.

the mod team has been banning people who are nothing more than mildly critical of prominent TERFs and Nazis […]
