Bluesky moderation is a sad joke. They'll ban an early user's account for a meme (Link) but they'll allow a stochastic terrorist to remain (Jesse Singal).

I hear moving to a different PDS is a good choice. I'll be exploring that.

@gregpak.net has a great thread here...

Offered without comment other than to say that I do not care who ends up going down for this. If they're involved, they need to pay regardless of political party.
Lest there be any insinuation that Dems spared their own. It would be tough for Kathy Ruemmler—Obama’s WH Counsel from 2011 to mid-2014—to come off looking worse in these docs the committee Dems released. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Arguing with dudes on Slashdot about Summers’s comments was an extremely formative experience for me as a woman in tech and not in a way that made me respect people.
One of my earliest moments of radicalization was in 2005 when Larry Summers said that women biologically have less aptitude for science than men. Following that, scores of equally unimpressive people wrote pieces trying to explain or justify his remarks, when they should have called for his removal.

Harvard grads can call the Harvard Alumni Association and politely let them know they won't donate to the school as long as Summers is working there. Their number is 617-496-0559.

What I find funny is that the median Maine voter sees his tattoo and comments about sexual assault as a non-starter but we had how many people defending that shit here on Bluesky?

We all know what this means. Trump raped kids at Epstein's house and Epstein was astounded that Trump had never paid any consequences.
It begins. Clearly incriminating evidence against president of the United States.

Why doesn’t the media find it worthy of scrutiny and

what do the owners of those media conglomerates have invested in protecting him, his racket, his agenda and / or this story is a whole other set of questions
“The President sent his lawyer to negotiate a settlement with a convicted sex trafficker to provide cushy accommodation in exchange for her silence on his participation in said sex trafficking” is a cold description of the facts of an insane story that the media doesn’t find worthy of scrutiny

None of this was ever about Online Safety, not about protecting kids. It was all about control and surveilance.

And if you think that sounds a bit too "tin foil hat conspiracy theory", well, you might want to rethink your perspective.
The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act.

The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.
