New story from @malikbtxt.bsky.social! Read '...And Then Everyone Clapped' "It may seem corny to applaud yourself, but something has taken hold of you. Euphoria, disbelief, gratefulness. It’s hard to define in a single word, but you clap anyway." godscrueljokelit.com/berry-everyone-clapped

Daily reminder that “porn addiction” is not a real thing, and is an invention of the far-right, which they use to demonize both the healthy usage of porn, and to call for censorship of LGBTQ speech. Anyone who supports the idea of “porn addiction” is legitimizing that and all it entiails.

hot take: if bluesky really wants to embrace composable moderation, their “mod team” should have a primary focus of actioning illegal content & nothing else. bsky mods should focus on CSAM reporting/removal & *actionable* threats. they also desperately need to learn what an actionable threat IS.

Did you know it’s illegal to say “Charlie Kirk rest in piss” on Bluesky? It’s illegal. It’s a violation. It’s one of the few sentences that you’re not allowed to say. Now it was okay for me to say it then because I was just telling you that it’s illegal to say… Charlie Kirk, rest in piss.

I don't like to speak badly of people. I have grown up thinking and being told that if you cannot say something nice about someone, you should not say anything at all. But I must break that rule in this case because I hate Hulk Hogan very much. He is a big ugly goon and I want to squash his face.
