I was so busy training Umas again, I got to miss all the libs glazing Chinese corpse. Again, the one thing I respected the conservatives even though it made no sense to me is that they hated McCain and wished him a great trip to hell

I regularly get blocked by long time mutuals who decide to trust a blocklist, simply don’t use blocklists.

Will Oremus @willoremus.com · 1d

Blocking hatemongers is one thing but this trend of using mass block lists to avoid hearing from people who might or might not hold points of view you expect to disagree with is unhealthy imo and hurts the platform.

Bluesky was better off with folks like Margaret Mitchell and Giada Pistilli on it.

Margaret Mitchell, who was famously fired from Google after co-authoring the seminal "Stochastic Parrots" paper, has been posting on X lately because she is caught up in mass blocklists of AI industry people on Bluesky, making the platform borderline unusable for her.

Here she's on X quote-tweeting fellow AI ethics researcher Giada Pistilli, who is in the same boat.

Pistilli said: I really wanted 🦋 to work, but it looks like I’m on the worst block lists out there. Oh, well.

Mitchell said: I think what many 🦋 Bsky users may be overlooking is that they’re blocking people in positions of influence *who want to listen to them*. As someone influentialish in AI ethics, it’s important for me to know what creators, critics, Luddites, etc., are thinking and seeing.

Mitchell added in a second post: I’m an advocate in tech directly aligned with a lot of their values in the very spaces where decisions that affect them are being made. I need the stats, articles, hot takes…all the deets they can give me so I can be prepared when talking to regulators,academics, techies, etc

Ted Cruz trying to position himself as the voice of reason on the right, so going to be very funny if he tries to get welcomed into the skeleton of the democratic party like the other Republicans that flipped from the bush era

They just gutted Teen Vogue which had top notch political journalism. The media is continuing to purge any sort of political dissent to Trump and the oligarchs.

In today’s Reddit news, the website’s newest recommendation algorithm is promoting posts from the quarantined r/TheRedPill subreddit into users’ feeds whilst stripping the subreddit name from the listing. This includes posts that violate Sitewide Rule 1 against Hate Speech

A post to r/help asking about why the author of the post is being recommended posts from r/TheRedPill. Author has screenshot a post which is a racist trope.

MasterCard is marketing its new MasterCard Threat Intelligence platform to issuers & acquirers. A source familiar w/ MasterCard’s internal operations told me MTI is flagging anime, VTubing, adult content, tabletop, video games as potentially “high fraud risk”

Seems more to stir up chaos And justify further encroachment of the cities while also allowing them to blame the Democrats for not folding. Wouldn't be surprised if he tried to illegally line item again to States he considers loyal
