I was contemplating taking a step back from DBD just bc the community has been so nasty & unfun, & then BHVR posts job listings looking for AI and I am just overall so tired. It's been my escapism game for ages, but people have made it unplayable. So sorry you're having a similar experience :(

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures.

This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech!

www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

e-6695 (Consumer protection)

Keywords
Censorship Credit cards Internet Pornography

E-petition
Initiated by Carmen Tam from Waterloo, Ontario

Original language of petition: English
Petition details
Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:

Mastercard, Visa, and other payment platforms have been leveraging their power over consumer ability to purchase legal content;
In 2021, Mastercard changed its policies to regulate adult entertainment by preventing the use of its payment platform on numerous adult entertainment sites;
As of July 2025, video game distribution service Steam now cites rule 15, that “adult only” content is not permitted on the platform if it goes against payment processor’s policies. Steam does not describe what content is defined as “adult only”;
As of July 2025, video game distribution website Itch.io has “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from browse and search pages. Users that previously purchased legitimate video games cannot access games that have been removed; and
This has set an unsettling precedent of corporate censorship, causing concern in video game development teams, including developers, voice actors, and artists in other creative fields as their livelihoods are in limbo.

We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to
1. Stop financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services;
2. Ensure transparency to consumers about content restrictions and the rationale behind them; and
3. Protect creators' rights to make legal adult content and ensure a fair appeals process for any penalized media.

i am concerned for the reason that (among others) even content that bluesky has deemed acceptable will be flagged given that EVERY time i've posted an artwork including artistic nudity, it has been labeled as sexual content, and my attempts to appeal have been universally ignored #bskycensorship

fiends🩸🖊️ @0nlyfiends.bsky.social · 29d

I just did this and I am encouraging y'all too as well. This TOS update is such puritan bull and it is actively harmful to the people it wants to 'protect'. Censorship is plaguing our world right now, and I am not going to continue to use a website that engages in that.

Here's the message I sent in

You ABSOLUTELY are welcome to copy/paste or use it as a jumping off point

Let them know we don't need this kind of "help"!

3/🧵

Screenshot of a feedback form with the text:

I'm writing about the upcoming change to the Bluesky TOS. Bluesky put out a feedback request and despite many people voicing concerns about the changes, very concerning updates have been maintained.

Bluesky has MANY moderation tools that users can utilize themselves to restrict content that they don't want to see without needing to prevent the content from being published on the site as a whole. Aside from content labels, there are user-run moderation lists and feeds so that anyone can curate their content easily.

Despite this, you have chosen to move forward with some incredibly harmful policies that restrict free speech. I implore you to remove the following policies:

1) The restriction of FICTIONAL kink content. Non-con, dub-con, and “dangerous” kink content that is FICTIONAL does not harm anyone.

2) The restriction of content depicting or discussing self harm, suicide, and substance abuse. Requiring content about these subjects to only be “educational” is extremely harmful to those dealing with these issues. Stigma only serves to further endanger people in crisis.

If these policy changes are not removed then I, among many others, will have to look for a different platform to use.

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around

There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates

Most notably:

1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon
2) No "dangerous" kink
3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational"

So what can we DO about it?

#SaveSpeech

1/🧵

Multiple cropped screenshots showing portions of the bsky TOS before and now. Before: "iv. Encouraging self-harm or suicide
v. Depictions of excessive violence, gore, torture, dismemberment, or non-consensual sexual activity". Now: "ii. We do not allow sexual content involving non-consensual activity including synthetic, simulated, illustrated, or animated versions. iv. Do not create, share, or promote sexual content involving realistic risk of death or serious injury. i. Do not share content, methods, instructions, or promotion of self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, and extreme dieting practices.
ii. Do not share methods, instructions, depictions, or promotion of dangerous stunts or abuse of dangerous or controlled substances. 5. Protected Expression
B. Support, Recovery, and Mental Health:
i. Personal recovery experiences or survivor stories shared to promote healing and community support rather than encouraging harmful behavior.
ii. Sharing verified mental health resources, crisis prevention".

i have been on so many little adventures lately

A quick digital drawing of a fluffy eared, nub-tailed cat wearing a backpack and seemingly making a trek up a mountain side. Below it, flat on a rock and collapsed from exhaustion, is a small brown bird. The text from the cat reads 'All good?' and the bird replies 'No heart emoji'. The signature reads Arlo 2025.

virtually attending a workshop tonight and instructor mentioned using chatGPT to search for something if google isn't helping and i do not care that i am insufferable anymore i have simply accepted i am the insufferable guy everyone knows when it comes to this shit

me sending a message in a zoom chat:

Obligatory mention that chatGPT isn’t a search engine—it assembles what it thinks are the most likely words to go together based on information scraped from the internet, so it may give you false information (and definitely will eventually, if you use it often enough) so make sure to verify everything it tells you!
