When you see all the people labelled rude, essentially shadowbanning them under the default settings, remember that literally *every single* rude label has been manually applied by a mod. All of them.
It's not a filter grepping on cusses, it's someone physically clicking a button.

By their own numbers, almost 50% of what Bluesky moderation gets up to is just manually labeling replies as rude. 👍

also to beat Athens and their allies in the Peloponnesian Wars Sparta had to have the other half of Greece, early on Macedonian and later Persian support
THEN they lost the hegemonic hold of power in Greece only a generation later to the Thebian army which included the 300 men of the Sacred Band

Sparta had 30 years of power. Then 300 gay dudes from Thebes (a democracy, WOKE) smashed the Spartans at Leuctra.
Sparta was a slave state led by a class of pedophile murderer plutocrats.
In short: Aura farming rapists.
Is it any wonder why American fascists worship Sparta?

I think the "Spartans were pedophile slavers" line has gotten through to mainstream lib-left consciousness.
But I wish more people knew "virtually all Spartan elites killed at least one uppity slave, at night, as a rite of passage into the Gestapo upper class".
True evil.

The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

⚠️ Eighteen people in Texas remain in jail after being accused of “providing material support for terrorism” for participating in an anti-ICE protest.
The case is intended to set a precedent criminalizing protest.
Jury selection begins for a trial involving nine of the defendants on February 17th.

Pay attention to the Prairieland case.
By saddling the defendants with indiscriminate charges, holding them without bail, and isolating them from lawyers and the public, prosecutors are attempting to terrorize them into signing guilty pleas in order to set a precedent criminalizing dissent itself.

We need to have a serious talk about primaries and removing some democrats in our party if we ever hope to see anyone face justice for this.
Because this sure seems to explain why more wasn't done to hold Trump accountable the first time.
