Attached: 1 image the screenshot of the ceo of #bluesky #blueskysocial saying "we didn't do blocks because they're hard" is a straight-up admission to not being serious about solving the nazi problem. sorry, you <i>can<b>not</b></i> recover from this by ONCE MORE AND YET AGAIN FOR A JACK-DORSEY-RELATED VENTURE, implementing blocks as an afterthought. bluesky is irrecoverably fucked.<br> <br> EDIT TO ADD: per https://circumstances.run/@davidgerard/110278426748225990<br> <blockquote> the bit they left out is that the person this was in aid of was Matt Yglesias who had a flock of trans posters tell him to fuck off, then fuck off some more<br> <br> they didn't care about [harassment] until it was Matt Y</blockquote>

so I’ve never really been Very Online, and these last few months on Bluesky have been by far the most time I’ve ever spent around shitposting, weird twitter, tpot, whatever it is can I just say…it’s a …

I can't really parse people defending BlueSky solely because Jack Dorsey is there. Nor can I defend "it being better" because it explicitly has features that anti-abuse advocates have been saying for years has persistently used as vectors to run attacks against them. There's people here that do claim publicly to care about people, especially Black people, that have run there, praised it contrary to the above and are prime examples of the false nature of ally ship. Once it's convenient or enough people of their class are ready to jump, they flee frantically. In a way, good riddance. But also, I'm keeping receipts. I refuse to let people continue to enable abuse and harm for their protection of their social capital.

“Adhd is a superpower” I say, as I read the plot summaries of all three Human Centipede films instead of getting ready for work.

ALL protest is disruptive, because it's protest, and that is the point. But *walking slowly* is not violent, or damaging to property, or dangerous. The objection here is that the protest happens at all.

this is literally the most peaceful form of protest and the Government is seeking to criminalise it because their objection is not to the format that protest takes, it's to the fact that protest happens at all

⚠️ Slow walking protests cause serious disruption. New policing powers will ensure hardworking everyday people will no longer be collateral damage to disruptive protests.

Predictions are fun and social networks seem to be in a period of turbulence, excitement and of course, decline. This is what I reckon it might look like in 6 months: Twitter will be like Facebook:…
