Use your own mind to figure out how this happens. And then use your collective minds to figure out to make this unhappen. Y'all, for now at least keep your Ex-Twitter accounts if you want to get unfiltered uncensored news, however terrible that site has become.

Anyone on bluesky who believes that lack of algos means lack of censorship is naive. I've now 2 followers whose accounts have been *flagged* & only show a blur rather than pics, & when you click on the pics all they show are a house in ruins, or someone standing in front of a landscape of ruins.

This is one thing I love about being an academic: people with overlapping areas of expertise working on putting together the same jigsaw puzzle, working on solving the same problems. The notions of the ivory-tower academic and (usually white male) genius philosopher should really be retired.
