a meme - looks like a public service announcement about the safety features and hazards on a plane or train. “How to avoid sexual assault
A QUICK AND EASY GUIDE*
2
3
DON'T PUT DRUGS IN PEOPLE'S DRINKS.
USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM.
If you might sexually assault someone, bring a friend to stop you.
IF SOMEONE IS DRUNK, HIGH, OR ASLEEP, DON'T RAPE THEM.
5
6
CARRY A WHISTLE.
If you might sexually assault someone, blow it until someone stops you.
8
WATCH WHAT YOU WEAR.
If someone's clothes are a problem for you, try wearing a blindfold.
WHEN YOU SEE
SOMEONE WALKING ALONE, LEAVE THEM ALONE.
DON'T FEEL
ENTITLED TO SEX.
Nobody owes you sex.
Flirting isn't consent.
IF YOU'RE ALONE WITH SOMEONE, DON'T SEXUALLY ASSAULT THEM.
THE ONLY PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT IS THE PERSON WHO COMMITS IT.”

Sex workers' rights are under attack across Europe and Central Asia. 🇸🇪 In 2025, despite receiving overwhelming opposition,, Sweden criminalised the clients of online sex work (e.g. OnlyFans). Just as we feared, this dangerous precedent started a new wave of attacks on sex workers' rights.

It's a config option in the service they're both operating, that's all.

Two things can be true. Don't auto follow empty accounts with feeds that maybe aren't working but auto following a platform account that has the feeds (see @bsky.app ) is a standard thing that your comment in the image alludes to not being the case.

Evelyn @kandake.africa · 10h
Its not one though, bluesky does the same by you following bsky.app when creating an account and other platforms likely do a similar thing. I do agree it's a bit weird to make it the feed generation account with no posts

I delivered pizza after high school in my home town which had a huge university, I took my familiarity with the neighborhoods and within a couple weeks could navigate multiple addresses after looking at a map of the town, just keep it all in my head for the time it took to deliver everything.

Can definitely be done. Stratos as much as I don't like saying it behaves like a pds and blob support was finally implemented around May, it just meant all records created didn't have a blob ref. If you don't want to do your own pds just have the blob endpoints return 404 or an empty valid response

Civilian rule, self determination & reckoning with our histories of ethnic supremacy, internalized anti-Blackness & the afterlife of colonialism are the only way we can honor the martyrs, the generations who suffered under military rule & the revolutionaries of the last 100 years.

I think one of the most valuable things that bsky can do for the atmosphere is leverage its position as the only app with a large audience and heavily promote "high quality" ATProto apps in-app. The live indicator and profile buttons are cool, but it's really limited and discovery is spontaneous.

Art evokes emotions, that can involve arousal. Art is broad, diverse, and complex and arousal is a response to experience. Does a person experiencing arousal in response to art make it pornographic?

And with trans bodies being legislated into being adult content you can see where this is headed

Evelyn @kandake.africa · 01/10/2026
It's the framing of free speech to not limit the rights of others which classifies pornography which of its really properly defined is going to be nudity and sexual content, so it's a form of expression which they have determined infringes on others rights which is where it all clashes together.

W requires age checks and the word choice "pornography" is a bad signal.

Which honestly contributes towards the issues you're trying to address, nearly all users sit in the following/discover feeds even though there's a feed button to explore others. There's an opportunity to enrich the app experience to help discover the rest, I believe that will _start_ to help.

The main challenge the protocol/Bluesky has is bringing visibility to these communities, moderation services and the products built on it. Atstore is a community effort that only helps address one part and the thread here also signals the broader audience isn't informed of the options available
110
Evelyn @kandake.africa · 01/10/2026
The protocol uses composable moderation so you can subscribe to other labelers to benefit. Blacksky is one but there's also @transrights.northsky.social which is a Canadian tech co-op building a platform for lgbtqia+ people and also runs it's own moderation service. disclaimer: I'm part of Northsky

the bsky team is working on various ideas for creating smaller social spaces in the app. which use case is most interesting to you? 1. posting into "topics" that organize public posts 2. posting into "communities" or "groups" that can be public or private 3. posting directly to your followers only
