That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are

I see some of you are still looking at other artist and comparing yourself to them. Really you need to stop looking at other artist, their numbers or whatever. Most of art success is about luck, getting your work seen. Don't be discouraged and start celebrating your successes, no matter how small.

96% of children in Gaza feel that their death is imminent and almost half want to die as a result of trauma. 92% of the children in the survey were “not accepting of reality”, 79% suffer from nightmares and 73% exhibit symptoms of aggression.

They actually published this David Mamet character screed verbatim like it's a bad thing anyone reasonable might disagree with.

He continued, "Trust and Safety departments exist to get a--holes out of the gaming environment. You end up creating them to get rid of a--holes, because adult humans don’t want to spend their leisure time with a--holes. You’re a GamerGater? F--- off, you g-----n child."

McGowan touted his work for The Pokemon company, noting, "By the way, if you're f-----g crying about the fact that I'm telling you to eat s--t, think about why you're such a person that the producer of Detective Pikachu thinks you are human garbage, and maybe work on being less s----y."

I like how this loops back into Bluesky's current safety failures. There's no "this is new ground" for this. People know what does & doesn't work in social, & silence in the wake of failure is a co-sign of that decision, just via the childish cowardice of not claiming it for fear of direct response.

something that @safety.bsky.app needs to realize is that when it comes to social media, marginalized people are both targets, and a vast majority of your userbase, because ALL women are marginalized, and when you add in men of color, and queer men, and disabled men, etc.? it's not a contest

Jimmy’s choices of seating in Mouthwashing are very telling. 1) The captain’s chair in the cockpit (eval and crash) 2) The head of the table (usually where the person in charge or “man of the house” tends to sit traditionally). 3) Curly’s seat at the table when they discuss opening the storage unit.

Why do you not mention the fact that this "ban" does not apply to cis children with precocious puberty, thus demonstrating that this is not a matter of safety but rather a discriminatory act aimed at trans children who do not want to go through a traumatic puberty that goes against their identity?

Fuck yourselves, you utter shitrag. It's not banned for all under-18s - it specifically targets trans people. Kids requiring puberty blockers that aren't trans are still gunna be prescribed them and it's gunna have exactly the same amount of medical impact on them. Cunts. The lot of ya.

Banning puberty blockers for trans kids but still allowing them for cis kids feels very much like discriminating against a set of patients based on their protected characteristic.

I understand that every platform wants to grow, and I generally think that the growth of bluesky has been good because it's important to get people away from what twitter has become but we can, and should, be better than pre-Elon twitter, and if that means limiting growth, so be it

and this should extend further than just Singal - I think the site should look at other prominent bad actors whose main goal on the internet is to bring harm to marginalized people and say, we don't want them here including folks like LoTT and, yes, JK Rowling

the man has a very long track record at this point of causing harm to the trans community and of harassing trans people specifically, often to the point of trying to get them fired I think that should be taken into account when you judge whether you want him on your platform

I understand not wanting to just ban people because of who they are, especially if they have not broken your rules on your own platform (leaving aside the question of whether he has or not for now), and not wanting to do policy by being yelled at but you don't have to ignore someone's history

some thoughts on the Singal situation, as it seems to be moving towards "nobody says anything and he stays on the platform": I think this is a mistake, and I think it risks losing much of what made bluesky special and taking away one of the few safe-ish spaces trans people have left on the internet

I also think "this person is prominent so we cannot enforce our policies against them" is a bad precedent to set and contributed greatly to the toxicity of twitter even before Elon's takeover the amount of toxicity that can be traced to individual bad actors who serve as a hub is enormous

Micah is 100% right here. It’s a shockingly small group of people out there who act as the primary originators, disseminators and amplifiers of conflict & disinformation on social platforms. It doesn’t have to be like this. We don’t have to let bluesky become another vector for their hate & nonsense
