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.

Of course again, it's whatever you want to do that helps. I'm just presenting an option.

No one expects any of this to happen. That being said, such a present profile on these places increases the risk, and the only way to mitigate it is partial or even complete resignation from it. You may find it a bit dramatic, you may not like the prospect of not speaking to friends, but that's it.

This is a cry for attention. You're seeking something you never received as a child, and now pathetically grovel for it as an adult. You are the definition of a leech. The only contribution you will give to the world is giving the forensic crew a mess to clean up when you finally pull the trigger.

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.
