Another one to amplify... so we don't have to keep wondering why we lost an election. Voices I've heard for months, maybe years.

Letting you all know (ha, both of you following me) some good voices you might not find. One for now...

one of the reasons bluesky works differently is because early users waged a successful fight to get the devs to prioritize safety features to protect communities at risk

as a result bluesky now has a suite of controls that i think are unmatched on social media

here’s the list, lmk what i’ve missed
A Probably Incomplete List of Bluesky User Safety Mechanisms Protecting your posts • disabling replies on your posts • limiting replies on your posts to people you follow, mention, or include in specific lists • disabling quote posting on your posts • detaching your post from someone else's quote • changing the above interaction settings even after a post is sent hiding replies to your posts for yourself or for everyone • self-labeling your media for adult or graphic content to protect other users • limiting account visibility only to logged in users • note: this is not 100% enforceable but all major bluesky clients and apps support it Limiting your interaction • blocking users from seeing or interacting with your posts • if you block after an interaction, they vaporize • if they've replied already, the entire thread below their reply is cauterized for everyone, floating in space detached from your post • note: your blocks are publicly visible via 3rd party apps • muting users to remove them from your notis and feeds, and hide them in replies • note: your mutes are private • muting or blocking entire moderation lists of users • note: inclusion in a list is public via third party apps. muting a list is private, blocks via a list are public • subscribing to other people's mod lists • note: your subscription is private, muting & blocking work the same • subscribing to labelers (moderation services) from bluesky or third parties o decide whether to show, warn, or hide posts that have been labeled in each category • report content that should be labeled to bluesky and/or third parties labelers

A thing you can do here. Look up your most difficult issue (e.g. Israel), and block people with the most extreme views (I keep some diversity) - I guess it's good to know BlueSky has everyone here, too... ~ The Jack E. Smith attacks seem like h.s. drama to me tho.

In 2021, Hegseth was removed from his National Guard duty securing Biden’s inauguration after failing vetting.

According to CBS News reporter Jim LaPorta on Twitter, the Pentagon eventually confirmed Hegseth was one of the National Guard members mentioned in this story:
