not going to get in much trouble i think for absentmindedly singing they don't understand the things i say through holo

i for one am glad clanka heil dooku has displaced the original song in my brain

the fundamental problem of bluesky is that it was never designed with this in mind. ATProto was built for censorship resistance, not community trust and safety.

with all due respect, you're still trying to retrofit an old model. it's the twitterlike structure that is the problem here, it's literally designed for amplification and virality with no effective friction.

which isn't surprising, since bluesky was designed for censorship resistance, not safety.

you will when they update the protocol to allow whitelisting.

i mean technically they can keep pinging a request for your content, but if they're not on the whitelist your pds will refuse it

not as hard as blocks though...

should have been considered from the start. if you want to make it a series of courtyards and alcoves, the architecture should have been designed with that in mind.

but hey. we all have new septembers (octobers now). never too late to be brand new :)

wish you'd had this attitude 28 months ago, jay

what if he were to use a well established mainstream word for the cluster of core english speaking countries? would you ban him then?

yes, it certainly did walk around on the backs of trans* creators, didn't it

well, grok says the answer to the first question is no, even in britain. at least if not embedded as images. hmm.

i wonder how this would fit with blooskis community guidelines? it would solve a lot of problems, and it *is* the sort of thing the company was set up to do.

(what's the legal deal with that. do links to offsite content have to be moderated, legally speaking?)

yes, this could work, i think. and of course, apps could then discriminate further, allowing you to whitelist images from people you follow. fine user control, curation.

feels like every time i log on here the community guidelines have changed once again. these will probably be out of date by oct 15

at some point, they should consider going text only to avoid the whole mess. perhaps with alternative apps allowing embedded images (hosted off site) to be displayed?

25 days to actually start enforcing them? why not just do it right away, as soon as this post was made?

screenshotting this to share to twitter as an example of bluesky having a normal one

tbf there are alt appviews now, and personal hosting has been a thing for a couple of years already. i suppose the difficulty though is that most people (including me -- thanks @nonbinary.computer :D ) will need somebody else to host their account, idk what alt services exist there yet.

to be clear, this is an appview level moderation then? not just a refusal to host it (which... fair) or blocking by default.

i guess the problem then is that it's bundled in with actual illegal sexual imagery, so anyone allowing it can't rely on blueskyes filter for the latter...?

it's also one of the most realistic police movies in terms of what policing is like (leaving aside the neighbourhood watch element).

No thank you, I've already been the Omelas child.

or maybe they just want to avoid a quickening?

i try not to rejoice over the stumbling of the wicked, but when it's a trap they dug for me... sorry about being a little devilish somewhere in my infernal ancestry i guess.

psalm 35 (that evening's bible reading)

though, it was also an atypical migration, since the repo was saved before they developed account migration tooling...

jesus carrying a big crucifix with little wheels on the bottom sounds like a family guy cutaway gag

it will survive by finally leaning into it

i mean she's quoting them to accuse her opponents of following that

still, pushing for one right instead of weighing up tradeoffs is exactly what her side is doing. no consideration of the safety concerns of trans women, just a bullheaded insistence on chromosome based bioessentialism

the opposite of provincial, no? america is the metropole, the rest of the world are the provinces that have to deal with whatever decisions the metropole has made.

it's unfortunate, since that's the experience it turned out people really wanted lol.

this would fit well with whitelisting and private accounts. you only need to fetch replies to you from the small subset of pdses that are allowed to reply to you. even better if the list is public, so you know who can reply to the people you follow and limit your queries to them also.
