bluesky safety taking the novel gambit of "correcting users who lie about why they are banned"

by default, you refuse to comment on bans. making an exception for "this user is lying publicly about why they were banned and claiming not to know" seems sort of warranted?

It’s been ages since @lessig.bsky.social said writing was the Latin of our times and it only becomes truer every year.

ok one last post -- oldheads are always going to "why is the web dying.... how can we get the kids invested in the free and open web"

Holy hell.

Don’t give them ideas.

As for why would they push it: because it’s a reason why you’d need to install further surveillance and reporting mechanisms.

Yeah, I really wanted to but will have to settle for the stream.

Although who knows, maybe something changes at the last minute.

If you see this, post egg.

I will sadly have to miss it, due to a conflict I can’t work around, so I’ve released my spot.

Sorry I can’t make it - seems like the place to be if you are in the EU and building on ATProto!

Hah, definitely. 🤣

Also, I’m decidedly not the “younger generation”, and they’ve pretty much lost me for anything other than legacy.

They can’t even include an invoice PDF on their billing emails!

Apple, sadly, got complacent and lazy once it felt safe in its monopoly.

(Even if people like to blame Jobs’ passing for their decline)

It’s time they got a proper shake-up. Behemoths need the fear of god put into them every now and then.

Lisbon AI? I'm sorry I couldn't make it.

A while back I remarked how surprised I was that the best political coverage was coming out of @rollingstone.com and @teenvogue.com

Guess this solves that problem for the government, while further pushing their white-first worldview.

Way to go, USA.

This is coming 4-5 days after they announced signing “letters of engagement with various reputable firms” to handle their proof of reserves.

That’s gotta be a crypto speedrun record.

Accountability or bust. Always.

OK, wall-to-wall baseball posting does have some upside, even for a baseball-illiterate.
