If your choice is between an existential risk to your organisation, vs being a fascist collaborator, and you make the difficult choice to be a collaborator...
...then you are still a collaborator.

Like, I'm sorry the fascists are giving you difficult choices. But that's what fascists fucking do. The only legit answer is "fuck you make me". The only answer that shows you have actual fucking principles not preferences is "fuck you make me". And that sucks. But here we are.

What an absolutely morally bankrupt government. So desperate to not admit they made a mistake in their initial prohibition and now they double down with more authoritarian overreach, which definitely has zero way of getting misused in the future.

Once again, I think back to the amazing quotes of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.
"... but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master"

@mmasnick.bsky.social is this the kind of moderation we should have on here? Seems quite bad.
Good to see this getting the attention it deserves.
Your users are watching @bsky.app. Time is yours to step up or flop on this front.

It's 7 AM CEST. The EU citizen initiative to ban anti-LGBT "conversion therapy" is *so close*—I think the votes *tripled* in a week?—but also there are only 18 hours left. Uh, or 32, depending on what "ends May 17" means. Sorry, I'm sleepy and on the wrong continent

Whenever I complain about web/software UI changes people say things like "well people just hate change" but another possibility is that every single decision a webtech company has made since 2007 has simply been wrong decisions. Maybe change would be good if they made better changes
