seeing how fox news/the right portrays socialism like it is a scary thing is goofy but I know it's working for people. also saw an ad against abdul and the attack line is that he doesn't respect women because he criticized women's policies, like michelle obama. of course paid for by AIPAC!

really feeling like post-pride and being affirmed by being called my preferred name and using my preferred pronouns opened up something, where now I want to explore gender fuckery even more with drag.

They’re packaging it like this so it looks like a shallow trend, but Gen Z has gone through two financial crises, a pandemic, rising fascism, active shooter drills since they were toddlers, and are now being told by the oligarchy they’re to be replaced by robots. Socialism is the logical conclusion.

had a thought this morning about how I could potentially get a group of people together to go watch movies, similar to the local queer book club but they only focus on reading queer lit. as I was driving I was like FUCK I just described friendship.

One of the primary features of capitalism is that if there’s a dollar to be made a capitalist will do it so yes of course slavery is back on the menu and our organs are next & this is, was & will always be inevitable until we at the very least embrace socialism.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.

I haven't been on here because I've been so susceptible to doomscrooming so instead I go to reddit which can be equally as bad for example today I saw someone described LOOT IN VIDEO GAME as same thing as "slutty partner" instead of a fully realized human being

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Banning trans people from owning guns is a really REALLY significant escalation and I think the scariest part about it that's not being discussed at all is that the plan is to declare that trans people are mentally ill Moreover, ICE must be destroyed edition.cnn.com/2025/09/04/p...

At the core of transmisogyny is, inevitably, misogyny itself. The viciousness with which some people trash trans women for how they look, or their supposed artificiality, or perceived errors in their behaviour, comes from a fundamental loathing of any women who doesn’t conform to their expectations.

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.
Screenshot of a tumblr post by user khazrablood. It shows another screenshot from twitter/X by @advocate.com, stating;

"Outcry grows after multiple trans users were targetted for mild criticisms of anti-trans billionaire."

Beneath the quote, a hyperlink pop up of an informative article appears, with two images; the first is Bluesky's logo, and the second is of Joanne Rowling.

Under the two portrait images, the header reads; "Bluesky silenced trans voices over J. K Rowling, here's why"

The sub-header of the hyperlink further reads; "Outcry grows after multiple trans users were targetted for mild criticisms of the anti-trans billionaire."

Underneath the screenshot of the Twitter/X post, khazrablood writes; "wannabe twitter already bending the knee to terfs."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.
