they’re both frightening and likely to trample me, tho

i get so mad when someone says “u should smile more” i mean the letter U is literally always smiling

life’s a beach, and then you’re born

the thing is though that like. the last 10-15 of online have been people CONSTANTLY getting fooled by 'shallow fakes', ie just posting a real video in the wrong context.

A little message from our CEO and founder @andyhunter777.bsky.social ahead of Anti-Prime:

I still don’t get ATProto well enough to judge whether there’s any benefit to moving your PDS to their servers (out of the US), but someone savvy would know.

Northsky Social We're creating a safer social media experience for 2SLGBTQIA+ people, powered by ATProtocol, and operating as a nonprofit worker-owned cooperative.

Northskysocial.com looks like the best bet, once they’re up & running. Once there are apps that don’t use bsky’s moderation, that will probably be the safest one. & you keep your ATProto past (content & people you follow, + any followers using any app that hasn’t banned you).

In a state with fewer than 1 million active registered voters, there has to be someone who knows that they are supposed to have 250 more than they have in their custody.

Couldn’t see it on deer.social or Daniela.social.lol either, even though they both have an option in the settings to check “Do not declare any default app labelers,” which I thought meant “don’t use Bluesky moderation.” Guess I misunderstood?

What happened in Chicago isn't getting nearly enough attention.

[smol voice]: …and true?

#Maine folks, if you haven't checked out the 2 ballot questions for November, you really should. Question 1 is right-wing voter suppression under guise of "Election security". #2 is a red flag law for Maine which will draw the "my guns have rights" crowd. No statewide races, so every vote critical
