If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Just to be 100% clear: do not *trust* your employers - that's super silly. The relationship is economical, not based in loyalty, trust, or kindness. There's no judgement in forming a union, just understanding that capitalism requires a risk of financial loss to get companies to do the right thing.

Bluesky needs a bit of a culture shift
I'm noticing that engagement has kindof been cratering, but favs haven't. People will fav a post but not comment or repost it, I've noticed this with others as well.
If you like something, spread it! Try commenting to bump it or repost it eh?

This is a tragedy. Plain and simple. People are going to die and not just in Florida.
FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

In honor of fucking grokpedia launching 🙄 I've made a monthly recurring donation to Wikipedia and if you have the ability and care about free and accurate information, you should too.
I used to make yearly donations to Wikimedia Foundation, but after talking to several friends in the nonprofit space, I've switched to recurring monthly donations instead. The predictable income stream helps them plan for the future. Throwing it out there for ppl looking for the best way to support
