The nature of geo-based catching by design would show where you're accessing the information. You either vpn and get anonymous but slower content loading, or directly surf and be somewhat identifiable but have fast content loading. Would love to hear how you can have both ...

No, labels that are not applied by the official Bluesky moderation system are not actually part of your post, but of the labelers, and the only way they appear is if the person reading your post is also subscribed to the labelers in question (figured this out setting up my own labeler...)

I'll wait until AI glasses can recognize a face, do a social media search to remind me of the person's name any smalltalk topics I should avoid 🤪

Once informed of a person's pronoun preference, it is not okay to continue using the other pronouns. That's a conscious choice to disregard. It sounds like the person did "deal with it" by reporting you for labeling.

As someone in IT, this doesn't surprise me, but I would expect a critical service to be phased out, not ripped out. There should have been a period of parallel run until everyone was familiar with the new tool. Basic project change management...

While you may be gramatically correct for literature, when conversing with someone you should use the pronoun that person requests. If you are told the preference but ignore it, that is where the transphobic comes into play. An insistence on ignoring the preference is the issue.

No sympathy here ... It's too late for buyer's remorse. We tried to warn them. Twice.

Money always wins. If Musk can't be lauded he'll likely just withdraw from public engagement and buy more politicians and strawmen to keep his agenda going. MAGA would claim victory and not understand why they get sidelined.

Similar happened with the "tea party" movement that became maga...

I'd also recommend labelers like bsky.app/profile/prof... and auto-hide trolls and such. This one actually tracks new accounts, reply-only accounts, and bot-like behavior
bsky.app

At first, I was like wow, I actually agree with Preston, until he used "autistic" as a slur...there's plenty of things to criticize Musk on without demeaning the autistic community too, sheez

This is why I love the BlueSky community labelers, so I can just hide such nonsense by default :) (unhid this one bc I was curious who was gettin' a paddlin')

I never ever thought I'd say this, but...I agree with Loomer...

Drove cross country twice, NY to LA, and this isn't far from the truth...

I think it's more the labeling requirements between the US and UK rather than a recipe difference.
December 20, 2024 at 6:46 PM
Um, you should have used a period after "my posts" and started a new sentence 😂 (jk!)
December 20, 2024 at 2:06 PM
"I keep getting DMs"...same nonsense as "my readers tell me" to try and sound like you're an authority on something without any evidence to back it up...

To discuss in a non-toxic environment. Why post news articles when you can just get an account on that website to comment...

That said, I subscribed to a bluesky labeler to auto-hide Twitter screenshot, and I only unhide if there's commentary posted as well. www.bluesky-labelers.io
Labels are a way to categorize content and users on BlueSky. They are part of the moderation tools but they can be do lots of interesting things like foster community.

I know, right? The closest thing to a "monoculture" here seems to be a collective will to be decent to each other...

Ah, this is a great explanation thread, thank you. It also seems like something Bluesky should address. It should be trivial to detect.

You're spot on. His complaint is he didn't have anyone to "pushback" on him...lol. I ain't here to "debate" human dignity. Trolls get blocked and the feed stays pleasant :)

(I mean "your" towards the Twitter post author, who's name doesnt deserved to be said, not you :) )
