À l'heure où plus en plus de gens parlent de quitter Bluesky à cause de la modération et des prises de décisions en faveur de l'extrême droite, on en voit qui parlent de monter leurs propres instances.
Mais la modération n'est pas si simple. Cet article en anglais de 2016 est toujours d'actualité.

On a technicality

Apropos of nothing, I’d like to tell you a story. I’ve touched on this before, but this is the full version. It’s the story of hypothetical small-to-medium Internet community.

Comic. PERSON: Sure, when *Einstein* suggests using the Lorentz transform to explain the connection between velocity and time, people call him a genius. But when *I* suggest it, it’s “basic physics” and “undergraduate stuff.” PERSON 2 with white hat: Such a double standard!

Ne pas se vacciner, c'est aussi s'exposer à des risques plus grands de faire un COVID long.

Vivre en société, c'est aussi prendre soin les uns des autres, quoiqu'essayent de nous faire croire certaines personnes

Demain commencent les campagnes de vaccination contre le COVID. Ce vaccin est gratuit.

Il est important de se faire vacciner, pour soi comme pour les autres et éviter que le vaccin ne continue de muter. Ce virus est toujours très dangereux et est toujours présent.

Campagne de vaccination 2025/2026 contre le Covid-19

Il est toujours fortement recommandé aux personnes à risque de développer des formes graves du Covid-19 d'être vaccinées afin de maintenir leur immunité face au virus à un niveau élevé.

@lingthusiasm.bsky.social This post would be very weird for someone who understand "frown" as something done with the eyebrows. As I did before, because the french translation is explicit about it (it's "froncer les sourcils", no idea if it's used in Canada too).

Morgan Biscup @vazdimet.com · 13d

6yo: It would be cool if we could move our teeth around in our mouth. So when you want to smile you can make them curve up, or curve down when you want to frown, and flossing would be WAY EASIER.

🌼 Good Vibrations 🌼

some graphic design fun I had yesterday

#GraphicDesign #MyArt #60s #vinyl #LP

Photo mockup of a double LP album front cover with a vinyl peeking out of the sleeve. The cover shows a 60s photo of a hippie man with flowers in his hair, and is cut off by a graphic rainbow band that runs across the cover horizontally at an angle. "Michael's Selection" is written boldly across the front with a rainbow line around the funky font. Underneath, smaller and written in a more simple serif font stands "GOOD VIBRATIONS"

Photo mockup of the inside cardboard sleeve of a double LP album. The outer edge has a rainbow band running along it and the centre is an off-white. Across both sides on the bottom, it reads "GOOD VIBRATIONS" in a black serif font. in the top right corner it reads "Michael's Selection" in a funky font with a rainbow edge. The majority of the spread shows the song list for "Side One", "Side Two", "Side Three", and "Side Four" seperated into four columns. The song title is in bold and connected with a dotted line is the runtime of each song. underneath the song title in a smaller, light font, it reads the artist.

Photo-mockup of a double LP album front and back cover next to each other. The front cover shows a 60s photo of a hippie man with flowers in his hair, and is cut off by a graphic rainbow band that runs across the cover horizontally at an angle. "Michael's Selection" is written boldly across the front with a rainbow line around the funky font. Underneath, smaller and written in a more simple serif font stands "GOOD VIBRATIONS".
The rainbow band from the front continues to the back and makes a curve upards. the lower part shows a vintage photo of some weeds and in bold, funky font with a red outline is written "The 60s are back in a Double-Album!". On top of the rainbow band on off-white ground it reads "Featuring the legendary ..." and then lists several artists in a small font.

Photo mockup of 4 black vinyl LPs with two showing the label. The outer edge of the label is a rainbow band on top of which it reads "Michael's Selection" in bold funky font with a rainbow edge. Underneath that on off-white ground in a smaller serif font it reads "GOOD VIBRATIONS" FOLLOWING THE CURVE. Underneath that, it reads "Side 1" on one label and "Side 2" on the other label. left and right of the hole in the middle are a column each with the track number, the featured song titles, and the artist.

Digital illustration of Endres in a casual robe sitting in front of a painted divider screen at a round tea table decorated with a vase of blossoming branches. He has a plate of pastries and a tea pot with a tea cup in front of him, grasping the cup delicately and arranging the branches. The mood is quaint with pastel colours.
