20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

I mean, do keep in mind that proship is just a general pushback against the drama, cringe, infighting, idiotic gossip, and cutthroat behavior.

Like. Proship is very much "none of this should be happening".

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office.

I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

Please think with the deepest pocket of your wallet, just how and why you're getting ratio'd so hard about this.

This isn't complicated. Be reasonable, don't push censorship of your users, and you make bank.

People are *starving* to financially and vocally support a humane socmed.

nervous about calls? let me assure you how easy it is 💘💪😤

1. you will most likely go to voicemail. leave your name, city/zip
2. if a clerk picks up, they are always friendly
3. say "i am against cutting federal funding for gender affirming care". you do not need to justify it
4. done! 💘

Trump threatens to shut down US government unless all trans health care is banned

The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.

Hey, so, survivor of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) here—and a global survivor advocate, including policy work!

Fictional material is not illegal. That’s actually why deepfakes are such a big issue for survivors too.

That said, actual art should *not* be made illegal. Why? (Con’t)

I must have missed the news where the author, writers, actors, and everyone involved in things like Game of Thrones, Euphoria, millions of other works etc. were all jailed
🤔🤔🤔

seriously baffled that people are upset that bluesky's new ToS bans depictions of underage peeps or sexual non con even if fictional like... guys that shit is actually illegal in most western nations you can go to jail for that art your so upset about them banning.. like the fuck is wrong with you?

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

Focus on child safety combined with "consent" from fictional characters (especially with animation) is a schematic nightmare. Arguments about how old a character looks/if aging them up is still underage art/if fictional character can consent will be a mess of false reports and time wasted on appeals

NSFW culture
While on the surface this seems fairly reasonable the term "consensual" is often abused. The process for determining what actually constitutes removal and what is bias or false reporting is not going to be thorough enough. It NEVER is. This is a slippery slope towards removing all NSFW

Bluesky is a wonderful place that has flourished in large part because of its artists and intolerance towards facists/Nazis. The Updated policy currently going into effect Oct 15 could fuck that up and we should be very vocal about it. Here are some specific things to mention in feedback (THREAD)

COVID is airborne.

You can be contagious with COVID at anytime without any symptoms.

COVID is still just as dangerous as ever to vulnerable people.

If you are leftist or progressive or liberal who cares about the vulnerable but who doesn't at least mask in essential public spaces, why not?

I’m going to say this louder this time: if you are lying about having a high-risk condition to get a Covid vaccine, all good, do what you want to do BUT show some actual goddamn respect for people who *actually* have that condition and start masking.

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout:

-submitting a feedback request
-@ing moderation about it
-commenting on mods posts about it
-making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker)
-leaving an app store review
-just generally posting about it

to anyone knee-jerk thinking "pedophile apologia":

if you make an exception for 'pedo' art, those in power can label your barista AU art pedophilia if someone has cat ears in it. your ff14 fanart of moogles is now pedophilia.

when there's an 'exception' there are no exceptions, only arbitration.

He's also blocking people who genuinely try to explain how this gives ammo to conservatives.

Like, my dude, we've got bullet holes in us, *including you*. Giving fascists more power just so you can go "hem hem pedo gooner kek" isn't a good look.

The problem is, calling someone a "pedo gooner" over fictional content isn't just "feedback", it gives ammo to conservatives. And they're shooting at us.

I'm triggered by underage content. I get it. But just mute and blacklist, or you're putting more bullets into the rest of us, including yourself.
