A someone who has written extensively about the eugenic roots that permeates those who claim to be building so-called artificial general intelligence, I'm here to tell you to please NOT compare criticism against corporations claiming to build a machine god, with eugenics. The audacity.

There's the substance of the signal issue, and then there's the pattern of behavior that jay was responding to -- the constant, _constant_ off topic responses that make this tedious.
On the substance, it's really just that the guy didn't violate the ToS. I'm sorry, that's just it

Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage

Welp, it’s time to publish this:
Bluesky Moderation has affirmatively dropped the ball with respect to allowing the transgender community on this site to protect itself.
I have a blocklist, titled “Transphobic”.
You can’t see it. Bluesky Community hid it.

The @washingtonpost.com is cooked. No longer equipped to be the “paper of record,” it is a shell of the respectability it used to feign.
the word "constitution" does not appear in this article
nor does any indication that the Trump regime's actions might be illegal
it does however note "White House officials maintain that the president is ... standing up for 'law and order' as Democrats go soft on violent agitators."

Fighting for privacy is a never ending fight. So is fighting bigotry. You’ll have to decide for you which is more important, but the Brave browsers will never touch my devices and the homophobe who made it can fade into obscurity for all I care.
