not going to get in much trouble i think for absentmindedly singing they don't understand the things i say through holo

i for one am glad clanka heil dooku has displaced the original song in my brain

with all due respect, you're still trying to retrofit an old model. it's the twitterlike structure that is the problem here, it's literally designed for amplification and virality with no effective friction.

which isn't surprising, since bluesky was designed for censorship resistance, not safety.

you will when they update the protocol to allow whitelisting.

i mean technically they can keep pinging a request for your content, but if they're not on the whitelist your pds will refuse it

not as hard as blocks though...

should have been considered from the start. if you want to make it a series of courtyards and alcoves, the architecture should have been designed with that in mind.

but hey. we all have new septembers (octobers now). never too late to be brand new :)

what if he were to use a well established mainstream word for the cluster of core english speaking countries? would you ban him then?

well, grok says the answer to the first question is no, even in britain. at least if not embedded as images. hmm.

i wonder how this would fit with blooskis community guidelines? it would solve a lot of problems, and it *is* the sort of thing the company was set up to do.

(what's the legal deal with that. do links to offsite content have to be moderated, legally speaking?)

yes, this could work, i think. and of course, apps could then discriminate further, allowing you to whitelist images from people you follow. fine user control, curation.

25 days to actually start enforcing them? why not just do it right away, as soon as this post was made?

tbf there are alt appviews now, and personal hosting has been a thing for a couple of years already. i suppose the difficulty though is that most people (including me -- thanks @nonbinary.computer :D ) will need somebody else to host their account, idk what alt services exist there yet.

to be clear, this is an appview level moderation then? not just a refusal to host it (which... fair) or blocking by default.

i guess the problem then is that it's bundled in with actual illegal sexual imagery, so anyone allowing it can't rely on blueskyes filter for the latter...?

No thank you, I've already been the Omelas child.

or maybe they just want to avoid a quickening?

i try not to rejoice over the stumbling of the wicked, but when it's a trap they dug for me... sorry about being a little devilish somewhere in my infernal ancestry i guess.

psalm 35 (that evening's bible reading)

though, it was also an atypical migration, since the repo was saved before they developed account migration tooling...
