Sometimes I think a major reason non-Autistic people find Autistic people so unsettling is we often just fully reject social norms that we think are bullshit.

It makes us harder to control.

Empathy burnout? Do you mean self-inflicted moral injury?

A feeling of deep upset witnessing the harms you have participated in?

This is perhaps the brightest moon I have seen.

Since Bluesky moderation seems to be keen to hide moderation lists for “harassment” , maybe we should all report this list that’s calling people racist against AI

screenshot of an email sent to bluesky moderation team moderation@blueskyweb.xyz at 4:05pm on 10/06/25 Hi Aaron, a thread. The bot was not a harassment bot. You were ignoring a community that was rightfully upset and trying to get information about the job you are doing. I used the protocol and the platform to build a bot that simply showed what you were doing on the network. yes, if you posted it would quote your post. but other than that. It did not interact with your account at all. it simply used the *Public* data on the atprotocol to show what you were doing while a marginalized community was waiting for a response from you. I made it clear multiple times that I did not want anybody to harass you or other blueksy team members. I simply wanted communication, or an understanding of what you were doing instead of keeping us safe. I understand that you misclicked. or that you're testing things. I'm a developer, I know that process. But before I even knew about the like, and before i even knew what the bot posted, my account had been suspended. I had no clue what happened. But other people did, and they shared what happened faster than you thought possible, I assume. I sent the moderation team an email to appeal my main account permaban. 7 minutes later, "after a thorough review" my appeal was denied. after 5 hours of the skyline being flooded with people calling for a reversal of the decision, I was mysteriously unbanned. since that day, I have sent 6 emails, all of which have gone unanswered. I have replied to both you and Jay on the platform, simply asking for a response. Ive even directed hate and harassment *out* of your replies into my own to keep things on topic. and still, Silence All I want is to know what happened. Omit as many details you want. Just tell me why it happened how it did, however you can. If you are serious about this. If you want to have a conversation, like I do, reply to my email that I just sent, containing this exact text. thank yo…

and yes, I did send them this as an email.

Wait Link got banned? Fuck that. UNBAN LINK NOW @moderation.bsky.app.

Cool story. Unban Link. @spacelawshitpost.me was banned unfairly and the story as to why is both changing and false. Y'all are fucking up badly and publicly. The moderation on this website is done at the whims of the CEO and not by fair and even application.

Restore Link's account.

they should make a catnip for dogs

normal person: i just want a place to hang out with my friends
tech weirdo: and shitheads
np: no just my friends
tw: but what about hearing alternative views on race and gender?
np: we just want to hang out and goof around
tw: so where do the shitheads fit in then
np: no shitheads
tw: not following

Which is why citizens should never believe those promises.

Nobody is asking you to "police the entire internet", people are just asking you to enforce your own moderation rules consistently.

Being a moderate is like claiming you don't have an accent — everyone has one, but only people who've never had their accent challenged think they speak "normally."

That's not the news media, that's a streaming site where you can watch the latest episode of the Western Democracy Cinematic Universe.

If you automatically assume that anything any media outlet reports is a lie if a cop is the source you’re likely to be far better informed than someone who automatically assumes it’s all true.

It's been almost 12 years since they ambushed my father at the dark of dawn- 5:30 am on/October. He was just heading out for work as a manager at a supermarket. He made huge contributions to a country that hated him- as he made it much money, even.

*They* don't care when a democrat is in office.

What did people want to punish the Dems for?

Oh and one more thing.

Before you condemn Hamas tomorrow, before you reflexively say that there's never an excuse for terrorism, think what you would do if you grew up under a regime that shot your children in the kneecaps for trying to collect rainwater.

I appreciate all the people showing love and support to me. I’m so grateful honestly. It means a lot. The ban isn’t that big of a deal for me. I think it was wrong and the explanation was bullshit. But that’s ok and I accept. Social media comes and goes. I’m grateful for all the connections I was able to make and all the people I get to be connected with off Bluesky. More importantly, the world needs more people to give a fuck. More people to give a fuck about Palestinians, more people to give a fuck about disabled folks, more people to give a fuck about our queer and trans siblings, more people to give a fuck about Black liberation. The world, and Bluesky, is full of bootlickers who will do anything to avoid doing anything to upset the status quo. These people are cowards groveling to those in power in hopes of protection. I just hope people continue to show love and care and kindness. Mutual aid is so important. Give when you can, boost when you can. We only survive this together.

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

Your reminder that credit scores in the US date to 1989. For much of their existence, race and gender were factors.

They were invented bc it had been made illegal to discriminate by race and gender in the US, so financial institutions wanted a facially neutral way to accomplish the same thing.

We are under siege by an army of Paul Blarts that all think they are Judge Dredds

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

No. People need to stop thinking that recognition from institutions is important especially to people who actively work outside institutions

"Western Democracy" is when voters are powerless to stop politicians from doing things they promised they wouldn't do before the election.

I think it's of fundamental importance that we are able to discern if parents and other authority figures are treating us properly.

And it's of fundamental importance to be able to discern if we are treating other people properly as well.

And "proper treatment" is the same in both cases.

Go read the original post in this thread and show us where it mentions her looks.

Anyway, Free Palestine 🇵🇸

"Is it okay for me to treat other people this way?"

and

"Is it okay for other people to treat me this way?"

are the same question

She was not picked due to looks and it's frankly quite weird that you keep saying that apropos of nothing. It's giving me the impression that you're an incel, and that you oppose liberating Palestinians as well.
