Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

A source familiar w/ internal workings at MasterCard notes the company does not plan to recruit additional call center workers for the Christmas season, as MasterCard does not expect higher call volume than usual. A resurgence of calls re censorship during the busy season would be huge strategically

I'm doing this! I always vote for D candidates on the Working Families Party line when it's available. Give the @nywfp.bsky.social a follow here while you're at it! They're always fighting the good fight here in NYC.
When you vote for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, his name appears twice, because New York practices fusion voting.

It's important to vote for him on the Working Families party line, rather than the Democratic party line, because that demonstrates support for the progressive parts of his agenda.

Giorgia Meloni, Italy's PM, is a far right fascist who supports Israel, but the general strike Italians carried out 2 days ago scared the shit out of her. Strikes are the most effective way to get politicians to do what you want them to do. Shut down profit and they stand to attention.

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator

Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning
CALL STRIPE
CALL PAYPAL
CALL MASTERCARD
CALL VISA

DO NOT. STOP. CALLING!

ATTN FELLOW CANADIANS:

An actual MP has created a petition to stop financial discrimination against adult creators by payment processors. You have to confirm your email but thats because its something that can actually be shown to parliament.
Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.

Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because

a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked

b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books

@bsky.app @safety.bsky.app I’d like an explanation about @scumbelievable.bsky.social’s suspension.
hey @bsky.app why was @scumbelievable.bsky.social suspended? considering the timing (she just put a new book out) it feels like someone is weaponizing your safety features in a targeted manner
