LEMON | leaving bsky

Im following almost everyone i followed on bsky i promise im not a bot

@reydelcastill0-lemonerzest.neocities.org

Me too! So relieved to have him home and safe

I forgot to check bsky, thank you so much for the money it helped a lot 🫶🫶💛

He's ok! We've been told its likely epilepsy so now he's been prescribed medicine
Turns out dogs with epilepsy show signs anywhere from 2-5 years old, and he is almost 6

He's showing signs of stroke now and the ER visit will be at least 450usd

Anything would help 🙏

I need to take my dog to the vet er for seizures, but we wont really have money left (or maybe not even enough money for tests) so if anyone is willing to donate anything please do

Canadians! The UK is attempting to push their own version of the Online Safety Act onto Canada via the bill S-209!

You need to contact your representatives in parliament and explain how this policy is catastrophically bad! Mention the discord data breach!

We all knew it was never about the porn. But if your normie bros wanna keep torrenting their marble and star worms they're gonna have to actually take the gooners seriously for once.

I’ve joined Mastodon! Idk if I’m going to stick with this instance or not, but I’m committing to blorbo.social for now since I wanna try out an instance other than the main mastodon.social one. Drop your account name below so I can follow more people!

Really hammer your reps about how catastrophic this is and how bad these laws are for peoples online safety

Discord says 70,000 users may have had their government IDs leaked in breach The ID pics had been submitted as part of age-related appeals.

We're now finding out that as many as 70,000 people had their government IDs provided to prove their ages leaked by Discord. Like I wrote last week, this is an inherent risk (and made greater by a rushed process) of getting platforms to do age checks

Here's my Mastodon: mastodon.social/@REYDELCASTI...

Bluesky's lack of a coms team does indeed give us some of these funny moments such as:

"You're aware that you are ostensibly speaking for the company with the current role you have and the subject matter you're wading into, right?

what?"

Samuel ‪@samuel.bsky.team‬ T'es woke toi. Toi t'es un woke left. Tu supporte les trans pis les pronoms toi. Veux tu savoir mes pronoms? Mes pronoms: Qué / bec Fran / çais Bar / be / cue Go / Habs / Go Bleu pis rose. Toi c'est quoi tes pronoms hein? Vas-y: Dis moj tes pronoms. Joe / Bi / Den? Ru / Paul? J'vas prier pour toi

English translation of previous post: You're woke. You're a woke leftist. You support trans people and pronouns. Do you want to know my pronouns? My pronouns: Qué / bec Fran / çais Bar / be / cue Go / Habs / Go Blue and pink. What are your pronouns, huh? Go ahead: Tell me your pronouns. Joe / Bi / Den? Ru / Paul? I'm going to pray for you.

Funny how this is the only post I've found from a Bluesky employee with the word "trans" made in the past 12 months. We can definitely trust this teams unbiased opinion that the biggest transphobe here hasn't broken any rules.

Are you a non-Black person pissed at Bluesky leadership and feeling a little jealous of all the good vibes coming from Blacksky?

There are Blacksky adjacent options for you! Here’s info from the Blacksky migration guide!

Here’s a multi use invite link to join Pillowfort. If I missed any misconceptions, let me know! I’ll do my best to answer questions

The users want more people & the site could always use more support. So don’t be shy to ask for help, they’re very welcoming

Bluesky now demands age verification for Ohioans but Pornhub says the Communications Decency Act supersedes Ohio Revised Code 1349.10 because Pornhub provides “interactive computer services.”

I guess I can see why Pornhub is willing to take a legal risk that Bluesky isn’t. Still, very annoying.

I've been on it more and can confirm, people just use Pillowfort to post anything lmao. It reminds me a little bit of a golden age of Tumblr. Anybody can join and do/post whatever on Pillowfort within the rules, so if you're tryna commission artists, it's worth considering

@Inker_comics: I JUST GOT FUCKED UP REAL BAD [shared a screenshot of his suspension from PayPal] @MrQuessos: [quote tweeting @Inker_comics] If you are going to pay an artist via PayPal, please DO NOT include ANYTHING related to commission or nsfw in the payment description. Whether out of ignorance or innocence, you could screw up someone's job.

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

i dropped spotify a while back. moved all the music over to a different service, but tbh i dont really rely on music streaming anymore. I'd rather drop like 10-20 bucks on an album or two on bandcamp every month and curate my collection that way

This is genuinely some bullshit on bsky's part. A reaction meme of charlie kirk gets a Black person a permanent suspension, but people who actively doxx and spread hate against marginalized people not only get to stay, but het followed by mods?

We see you, bsky, and it's pretty fucking disgusting.

Hey @moderation.bsky.app once again, yall are banning people for posts that are not against the TOS, what's up with that?

Marginalized people criticizing AI is against the rules now? Yet Jesse Singal still gets to roam free?

Oh they’re just continuing to scramble to find a justification.

Lying about Link’s alt text is a particular kind of evil I’ll say

If this is the alleged post, you can check the alt text for yourself

Pillowfort have specifically taken measures that have negatively impacted their reach to support NSFW.

- They pay more for a high-risk processor.

- They are not on app stores to avoid censorship there.

- They are 100% user funded to avoid needing to appeal to advertiser whims.

and hey on the topic of ID laws

do you really trust Bluesky, whose admin and c-suites physically cannot stop themselves from posting-through-it, to be able to hold onto your fucking govt ID and not leak it in a data breach like Discord?

these policies suck, they are dangerous, call your reps

This is a misconception we've heard a few times, I'm not sure where it comes from! But Pillowfort can be used for lots of things-- a lot of people use it to post their art, but you can also use it for fandom posting, talking about hobbies, just general blogging about your life, etc!

oh also think of it this way, you dont even Know if you like mastodon yet. better not to agonize and just rip off the bandaid?
