It’s really disappointing seeing BlueSky Trust & Safety rewarding those who want to turn this place into the Nazi Bar.

Moose hat for the Moose’s hat trick last night #GoAvsGo: On closer look, that is probably a reindeer rather than a moose.

Close up of a white man wearing a black hoodie and a lanyard. He has glasses and over his mouth he wears an N95 mask. His hat is a maroon and blue toque with a maroon embroidered reindeer on the front.

I don't *want* a "town square" or a "debating forum" or "to hear all voices". I just want somewhere where I can talk with my friends about Doctor Who or the Beach Boys or whatever, easily avoid horrible people I don't want to talk to, and know that my friends are safe.

You will commit an act of bravery tomorrow. It may seem small, maybe even insignificant to you. It may be that nobody but you ever knows it happened. But you will do something that requires you to push past your fears, and you will know it. That is no small thing. Celebrate it.

Fascinating factoid: Colorado has, for the past 100+ years, always been a state where the majority of people who live here have been born outside of Colorado.

Stacked area chart showing where people living in Colorado were born. The "Born in Colorado" cohort varies from 29% in 1900 to a maximum of 49% in 1960 and back down to 42% in 2012.

The system loses less than a million a year in fare evasion, and the systems you'd need to stop that would cost $175 million to build and $16 million a year to maintain. It is, obviously and literally, not worth it.

She's mostly different from modern Sororitas artwork due to her skintight pants and high heels, little else is different.

We have been at the "when do the guillotines come out" place for 20+ years now. As our options for reform and relief continue to shrink, so will our options, until we've got exactly one left. That's not somewhere I want to live. But this is where we are. Pretending we aren't here is silly.

Skadi is the goddess of snow and the mountains, the isolated lady who loves wild places in the Scandinavian north which takes her name. She loves the sea, but misses her mountain home when she visits it. #LegendaryWednesday

The video game SMITE's depiction of Skadi, standing imperiously above the viewer in her winter clothes, her weapon of frost wielded, a winter wolf beside her as a storm rages in the mountains.

Another day, another Meta employee treating its user base with contempt

A post on Threads from olafurw: Because many platforms like Threads massively de-incentivize posts with links, then what is the point for me in being here in the long term?
Sure, we can have conversations, but then what? I can't show you cool stuff somewhere else. I'm trapped. It forces the platform to be a bubble, by design.
If a creator can't show you what they have created, then the platform is useless.

Threads reply from Meta employee vocino:

Have you considered that people just prefer having conversations and not app switching therefore your link posts aren't as engaging vs a finger on the scale?

I replied:

As a Meta employee, is it Meta policy to deal with the exodus to BlueSky (where links aren't suppressed and many of us small creators can attribute sales and clients) to stick your fingers in your ears and hope it just goes away? Or is this a feeble attempt to pretend that small businesses can get by on "conversations" alone?
