Okay. When I left Twitter for here, it was because here felt like Twitter a year or two before Skum took it, before the GenAI, crypto, and Nazis (which was always there, but would face moderation and could be ratioed and blocked out of existence). But THIS feels like Twitter as it became X.
Bluesky deleted my post complaining about the CEO lol. I did not delete it myself! Full on Lowtaxing from Jay here.

Moderation here has been an ongoing embarrassment dating back to when the head of T&S banned a user who made a (perfectly legal) bot that caught them faving teen porn
my suggestion, take moderation power away from thin skinned, vindictive devs

a moderator deleted a post that pointed out the old pre-Singal approved ToS, and i called them a coward and suddenly this label appeared on my account. i’ve successfully appealed this three times, let’s see if @moderation.bsky.app wants to die on this hill

It's like they're frustrated that they haven't had a military coup yet.

I don't feel any particular joy in Charlie Kirk getting shot. It's not the sort of thing I celebrate.
But I also struggle to care when someone gets the very thing they've wished for openly, on multiple occasions, in multiple iterations, for literal years, b/c they thought it would be someone else.

RIP Charlie Kirk. Taken too soon... his face hadn't even grown in to his head yet.

Even though I want a Switch 2, I'm actually fine with this because I think it's extremely important for the long-term health of American democracy for gamers to suffer as much as possible.
Nintendo said it’s delaying Switch 2 pre-orders in the US due to concerns over Trump's global tariffs

Never attribute to malice or incompetence because your replies will be people asserting that it was the other one.

In the long term, as a historian, I can tell you:
This makes you complicit in genocide
This makes you a collaborator
A snitch

Look, Bluesky deleting Gazan accounts is not just immoral, it's counterproductive. If people don't want to see those accounts for whatever reason, then when they mute them - problem over. But if the Gazan in question makes another account (which they likely will because they're desperate...)

If you want to know how to kill Mozilla's AI buttons I recommend either
- Go to "about:config". Search "browser.ml.chat.enabled", set FALSE. Search "browser.preferences.moreFromMozilla", set FALSE.
or
- Install LibreWolf (and turn off "Resist Fingerprinting" to make it act like vanilla Firefox)

It's my first year doing Feederwatch in this house, and things were going fine (at least six species per week) in Nov and Dec. But ever since the holidays, the birds have been absent. It's disappointing.
