Oh god, I think I'm finally getting used to vegan cheese...

Given how little it took to get this though, it's a bit concerning if LLMs can figure it out so quick. Lots of bad applications there.

After drunkenly babbling at Claude in a normie-friendly way about how much I love my cat, it compared the way I talk about my cat to the way you would talk about someone you are in a very close relationship with, like your husband or wife.
Excellent sycophancy!

Twitter login is broken, now.
Truly fantastic website.

Is this platform safe again?

The user @lacrimale.bsky.app was suspended suddenly over a drawing of a straight-up fantasy creature. This sort of thing sets a terrible precedent and it should be reversed. @safety.bsky.app

I'm shooting an email to moderation@blueskyweb.xyz asking for them to be reinstated and you should too.

I had really high hopes for this platform.
The dev team's motto, "the organization is a future adversary" is a fantastic motto for organizing and developing a social network.
But it may well have turned out that the organization was an adversary to begin with. Very sad.

Loving an animal is... cuddling in an uncomfortable position because they're incredibly comfy and you don't want to disturb them.

Really wish this place had polls.

A frustrating thing about the neutering situation is that most if not all of the studies, regardless of result, are pretty low quality. It's understandable, because doing it well would be very expensive, but I don't think much of that work would pass muster in human medicine...

Based on twitter discourse on Wicked: I feel like the censorship (both deliberate and de-facto from economic constraints) that visual media faces vs literary media has contributed a fair bit to modern sexual puritanism.
This effect, of course, being a goal of this type of censorship.

I don't really get weed. It makes me feel content and thoughtless, in a way that feels artificial. Ok in social situations, weird otherwise.
Is that all there is to it? Is it just that I've only had shit strains or something?

A certain type of philosophy nerd had an amusing reaction to this, saying that "it's not an endorsement, only a pro-vegan thought experiment!"
Like... my god, yes avoid reading subtext into moral philosophy, but this is also what blatantly writing subtext into a thought experiment looks like.

Cats are truly special creatures.

Oh fun, this place now has bots liking posts too.

In the long term, if the federation/decentralization aspect of BlueSky takes off, it won't really matter for us if the BlueSky Moderation Service does dumb shit.

That's a *giant* if though.

first impressions: bsky is obviously trying to be a 1:1 twitter clone, which is good, but the differences are in the sort of uncanny valley where I think I fucked up my font or browser settings or something
