Creative solidarity means: If you're a writer, do not use AI "art" or AI "voiceover" If you're an artist, do not use AI "writing" or AI "references" If you're a streamer/actor, do not use AI for backdrops, thumbnails, etc. Never help AI steal another medium No excuses, no shortcuts, no surrender.

I'm seeing fewer posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation, and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them and losing them money. Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of. ⬇️

Btw, as the Itchio noise and all died down, Adult games are technically just banned now. Some adult games are still being sold, yes, but if you get caught or reported or whatever, all your payment options will be yanked and only a husk remains. Zero comments from Itchio on this, nothing, at all.

Screenshot of bluesky in the play store at 3.4 stars and 47k reviews.

Bluesky claimed to want to decentralize social media, and then came out with a massive community guidelines update imposing sweeping restrictions to free speech

If I could give negative stars I would, these changes need to be repealed and they need to refocus on user facilitated moderation tools

Right now there's a petition in Australia to establish a law that would prevent organizations like "Collective Shout" from forming harassment campaigns. This is only for Australians to sign, but it's also encouraged for others to share the petition. #SaveSpeech Link: www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

Petition Reason
We ask for this due to rising concern that non-profit organisations, or otherwise, have been and have successfully pressured Australian and global companies into refusing service to certain groups of people, including people of sexual identity, LGBTQ+ groups. They should not be allowed to use harassment techniques to force their personal ideas and beliefs on Australian adults and others around the world who use the internet

Petition Request
We therefore ask the House to investigate, regulate, restrict or shut down and outlaw organisations such as "Collective Shout"; these organisation,s like the one named here, hide behind the disguise of protecting the vulnerable; however, their predatory behaviour has caused people to lose jobs and livelihood as well as people to feel unsafe in their own skin So we ask the House to look into these non-profits and expose the true harm they do behind closed doors

Speaking on this; there's a tumblr post that PERFECTLY explains why TERFs have 'so much reach', and folk need to see it. Stop engaging with TERFS, block them, and get them offline. Likewise, report *their* harmful comments. Organise and be smart.

Following the previous tumblr post by khazrablood, fourohfourlifenotfound, a different user, has reblogged the post and added;

If we are ever going to stop this, then you guys need to start learning why this happens.

And it's not always because some executive made a decision to favor a TERF. It's because the technology is broken in a way TERFs have learned to use to their advantage.

So content moderation is a HUGE task. It is incredibly inefficient to manually monitor all user reports-- when you "flag" something as spam or inappropriate or 'inciting harm' (what Blueskye is saying the banned users had in their posts). So what actually happens is that the bulk of it is reviewed by machine. The precise "how" is a bit of a black box (if you say exactly, it makes it more vulnerable to being bypasses), but we generally know it's a bit of machine learning ("ai", but not he chatgpt kind) and a bit of automation. Generically this gets referred to as an "algorithm" (which is a meaningless word I don't have time to unpack here).

a continuation of khazrablood's tumblr post, reblogged and added to by fourohfourlifenotfound;

The TERFs have a formula. A battle plan, if you will. I've been watching them use it for almost a decade. And they play social media sites like a fiddle every single time.

The way it works is that they coordinate attacks on targets they dislike. (Usually trans people, but ace discourse is a notable example of targets not necessarily fitting that demographic.) They send links to each other of posts to report. They'll flag it for whatever the nearest thing they can is. The blueskye users were wishing ill to JK Rowling, so "inciting harm" was the excuse selected. "Inappropriate or sexually explicit content" is a common selection for other trans content.

Then what happens is the content moderation "algorithm" sees a huge influx of reports for a certain post or user. And instead of making a human manually review all of that, it automatically initiates a ban or takedown. And if the "algorithm" has word censorship built in, it will begin to auto-flag for things containing words in posts frequently flagged, so it begins to auto-flag the word trans itself.

The end of tumblr user fourohfourlifenotfound addition to khazrablood's original tumblr post;

This has been happening for almost a decade. There was a trans youtuber who proved TERF hater group chats flagged his videos so much that it started auto-demonitizing identical videos with the word trans in the title, but leaving ones without the word alone. I strongly suspect this is why we see huge amounts of trans women banned for no reason on tumblr. And this is clearly what is happening now.

How do we fix it? There's no easy solution. All the things about the "algorithm" that make moderation easier for the social media platforms are the exact reasons it's so difficult to defeat. It's hard to teach a machine what's a genuine flag and a malicious one. Again, it's been almost a decade since the issue was raised with youtube, and there has yet to be a solution for rooting out malicious coordinated flagging.

But here's one thing that can help: get TERFs off of social media. Stop letting them bait you into petty fights. Learn how to identify them. Block and report them.
