Magic Spearmint @magicspearmint.myatproto.social · 5d

I wonder how Ledian could be made more competitively viable?
• Modify base stats: Increase HP to 65; increase Attack to 120; increase Defense to 70; decrease Special Attack to 50; decrease Special Defense to 90; increase Speed to 105...?
• Change second type from Flying to Fighting?

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

I appreciate all the people showing love and support to me. I’m so grateful honestly. It means a lot. The ban isn’t that big of a deal for me. I think it was wrong and the explanation was bullshit. But that’s ok and I accept. Social media comes and goes. I’m grateful for all the connections I was able to make and all the people I get to be connected with off Bluesky. More importantly, the world needs more people to give a fuck. More people to give a fuck about Palestinians, more people to give a fuck about disabled folks, more people to give a fuck about our queer and trans siblings, more people to give a fuck about Black liberation. The world, and Bluesky, is full of bootlickers who will do anything to avoid doing anything to upset the status quo. These people are cowards groveling to those in power in hopes of protection. I just hope people continue to show love and care and kindness. Mutual aid is so important. Give when you can, boost when you can. We only survive this together.

Want to understand why users have lost faith in Bluesky's leadership?

Or what the deal with waffles was about?

Or why users are up in arms about a beloved activist and community builder was banned for criticizing Bluesky's CEO?

tl;dr: Bluesky began with genuine promise: a new social media platform where users could feel safer, but inconsistent moderation quickly eroded trust.

When systemically marginalized users pushed back, Bluesky’s leadership minimized concerns and began to target them for bans.

Two updates. I don't know how many more I will have to make.

If I'm eventually banned, you'll know why.

Excerpt from article:

Update: It has since emerged that the community builder’s account has not only been permabanned from Bluesky, but also blocked from WhiteWind, Skylight, Bluescreen, Flashes, and “basically all ATproto apps/projects.” This effectively negates the very premise of the AT Protocol’s federated model.

Second update: A Jewish science journalist has now been suspended after publicly criticizing Bluesky’s CEO. A months-old skeet condemning Christian Zionism was presented as justfication, but this is clearly manufactured pretext.

At this point, all pretense is gone. This is outright retaliation by Bluesky’s leadership against any who dare criticize it.

I like to believe that Armaldo likes to go around searching for shiny rocks, then burying them.

A drawing of the pokemon Armaldo. It is looking around for shiny rocks, probably. Good luck with that in the void.
