There's nothing like being deliberate to fulfill hopes. You have my info, right? If not I'll send it.

It probably is. I'm not sure what I wrote, I'll have to go find it, and see how much has changed, and how much of my opinions on that have stayed the same. Lol Thank you for the compliment. 🙂 I miss writing like I used to. I'm hoping to get back to that.

I'm pretty sure it was the old place first, but that was at least the reason for the IRL meetup, if I'm wrong about the order. Hehe. Those were really the good ol' days of micro blogging!

Here is how I appealed the suspension. It took them about an hour to respond. All in all I was down for about 4 hours.

Hello, I have been suspended for a post accusing me of threatening violence. If you look at the thread the post is part of, 1 am describing the evangelical belief system about the rapture, which includes the mass murder of Jews.
I, a Jew, was not making threats against Jews.
I, a Jew, was educating about the dangers that the evangelical community poses to Jews in order to *protect us*
This is obviously and clearly not a threat or an excuse for suspension.
Please reinstate my account.

Another casualty that definitely isn't connected to the Bluesky CEO's ongoing meltdown. Totally just a coincidence.

Excerpt from article:

Third update: The Follow Tracker labeller — the tool that showed who was following nine prominent racists, transphobes, and other figures popular with the US alt-right — is shutting down. Its operator insists this isn’t because of Bluesky’s CEO (and thus, presumably, not because the labeller identified her as following two well known anti-trans activists), but rather “because some of you can’t be trusted to use this information reasonably and responsibly,” which is a curious justification coming from an account literally named @for.shame.wtf.

I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting. Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_...

I got half an hour in 🏊‍♂️, with a family of 3 in the opposite end of the pool. I got out, and then more people came in (group of 5?), and the family got out, too. That's the most activity I've observed when I'm at the pool.

I'm trying to gear myself up to go. Need to finish gathering stuff to go out with me, shower quickly, and then go out. But there are squirrels, and I am slow. So, sometime in the next little bit-ish! 🏊‍♂️

And feeling the need to hurry up and do it after less than a year here makes it feel a lot more urgent. I'm gonna document my steps on mstdn and use that as the basis to write a more cohesive guide. Have I mentioned how much I despise capitalism? 🤬🖕

I would much prefer to moderate my own interactions, especially with ... *gestures widely, wildly, and vaguely*

Saintless isn't here anymore @saintless.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Anyway, as much as I think Jay fucked up big, I don't think there's any single source of moderation that is gonna make me want to hang out there constantly, anymore. I'm very capable of taking myself off of the Bluesky app, and hosting my own stuff, which I may choose to sometimes share on ATProto.

Being raised JW, I did not understand very many slurs, at that point. I hadn't yet been exposed to the massive variety of ways humans try to devalue other people with words, yet. Anyway, I found patient friends there, who explained why, and I eventually understood.

Saintless isn't here anymore @saintless.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

What was your first experience of having communication with strangers moderated on the Internet? I barely used BBSs, so for me it was chatrooms. The first one that really stuck in my head was an MSN bisexual chatroom, where the rules told me that "fruit loops" was inappropriate.

Saintless isn't here anymore @saintless.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

I do think at one point, I probably said I could write some piece of related software to connect some stuff, but I wasn't suggesting I am anywhere close to writing a social media app. I just wanna eliminate them. We don't need social media overlords. Like, at all. We can do this without them.

I was also up hours past my chosen bedtime, and insomnia does not help with my eloquence.

Saintless isn't here anymore @saintless.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Yeah, that's one of the problems is detangling that stuff. When I was able to work, I was one of the few software engineers that could translate from geek to dweeb, to explain things to people outside of IT. These days, that takes more effort, because of my TBI, and mostly why I can't work anymore.

Happy Amazon Prime Day! Amazon collects mountains of data about how you use the service, but there is a setting you can change to make it harder for the company to use that data to sell you more things. #OptOutOctober www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

I do find it hilarious how they immediately backtracked after this and deleted the comment

a member of bluesky saying "Yeh" in response to the above post, with a journalist responding asking to get their exact quote over the thread in which the bluesky member responds with "what" and the journalist then rephrasing the question only for the bluesky member to delete the entire thread

Not really. I started off saying I should write a guide for people who don't know how to do things like own your social media data, or how to transfer it to a new service.

Saintless isn't here anymore @saintless.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Very confused by your suggestion. I'm not looking for advice on how to do anything.

Saintless isn't here anymore @saintless.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

It's not some ultra modern concept, it's just hard to capitalize on, and requires people to do lots of work to set up, right now. It won't, very soon. But you gotta host your data, at least to the extent that the app isn't hosting it. Which is what I wish I had the cognitive capacity to write.

110

Saintless isn't here anymore @saintless.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

All it takes is a set of rules saying how to communicate and use data (which is what a protocol is) and then your skeet or pay is just a message on your chosen Internet lanes of traffic.

Saintless isn't here anymore @saintless.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

It's one of many attempts, and I'm not an expert on the fediverse ins and outs. But generally what I'm describing is that the fediverse could be one of many ways of "connecting your email".

Saintless isn't here anymore @saintless.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Yeah, so you probably get the comparison I was making?

Saintless isn't here anymore @saintless.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

I was talking about the general understanding by people then, not your particular understanding at the time. Lol

Saintless isn't here anymore @saintless.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Remember when AOL was the Internet? Or Hotmail was email? (Not really, but they were the face of the things, and not everyone knew better.) Think of it as 1 of the attempts at next-gen abstraction of social media to become just a protocol like email, and the apps are the providers (e.g. @hotmail).
