A lot of social media platforms including Bluesky tends to show the most skewed perceptions of the extremes

But I do agree Twitter is absurdly socially engineered to foster hatred :/

(Honestly wish Twitter and Facebook wouldn't exist in the first place)

The last part is so much worse 😭

Sorta feels the same when it comes to plagiarism in writing

You're just taking someone's voice and claiming it as your own

Similarly how one would take someone's art style instead of honing to find your own style as like finding your own voice

This is just literally textbook identity theft and potential dafamination

That would be incredibly on the nose of irony 💀😭

This text from Chris Best discusses concerns regarding the implementation of the UK's Online Safety Act. The author argues that despite appearances, the Act's approach is severely flawed. He characterizes the implementation as creating a "papers, please" system for internet access. The post was published on Substack on December 21, 2025.

Sums up about it

Maybe I'll take it as a compliment because I don't know a single teen that uses such formal language 😅

Personally I genuinely have never heard of anyone using "sir/madam" outside of the context of customer service jobs.

Plus I think they're just using them as generally speaking rather than imply of age.

Then again depends on context lol

Japanese Lawmaker Says Anti-Spy Law Could End Oshikatsu Culture - Unseen Japan One lawmaker warns that proposed spy legislation could tread on a booming business in Japan: support for one's favorite idol or star.

Japan's current right-wing government is pushing for a strict new anti-spy law. But one legislator says the proposed law is so vague that even oshikatsu, or support for one's favorite idol, could be construed as a crime against the state.

Welcome back 👋

Minneapolis residents gather to mourn Renee Nicole Good, who was fatally shot by a U.S. immigration agent during an immigration enforcement surge, according to local and federal officials.

The 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good shot dead unnecessarily by ICE in Minneapolis leaves behind a six year old son.
To compound the sadness of this tragedy, her son is now an orphan as he had lost his father in 2023!

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

As an educator I get concerned at any attempt to discourage reading, comprehending, and articulately responding to the written word. This is yet another step towards a more ignorant society.

These may not feel important, but oh my god they are. Two of them are flip opportunities, and the rest are holds, either way we need to win, and overperform.

Remember, most of our rights come from the state, so if you care about your rights you should care about state level races.

Classic

To be fair most of the major events did occur when the community was at its infancy

And even then, it was really niche up until late 2010s

Happy Birthday man, here's to more new memories :)

It's also interesting how little it really has changed when we're still seeing people being hypocrites with each other claiming to be sidelined :/

Oh wow really reaching far back to the early 2000s interesting 🤔

Honestly some people sometimes grow too attached to a website or app that probably couldn't careless about its users lol 😅

(Why doesn't Bluesky have an edit feature bruh)

Oh 100%, ironically enough my account here despite I just post any bits of pieces of info, I am pleased to see people not only replying but also sharing and liking the posts!

This is by far the most popular account that lets say Instagram where you constantly play into weird algos rules.

I'm not sure if it is even "adapting", it's all more so really just engaging within the community similarly to Reddit, Tumblr, Twitch, Discord.

The principal applies the same with just simply tagging, posting and reposting in different spaces.

This is like internet 101? No?

Hi! Adding to this discussion, it does seem a bit silly that someone wouldn't grasp the building of an audience?

Quite virtually on Twitch, YouTube, Instagram, Discords, all of these social media spaces require engaging and being active in some way.

I'm not sure how they don't realize it?

Kind of new around the internet here so do you mind giving the breakdown of "platform wars"? Never heard about it besides the debacle of Twitter with Bsky

Lmfao that's priceless

I thought VHS already died out by the 2000s?

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist): the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much. you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

at this point

the theft of intellectual property is at the bottom most wrung of the issue with generative AI

generative AI has literally made nearly every aspect of human experience worse and horrible, not just online, but outside too
