When the OTW made AO3, they were trying to be very careful not to leave open little loopholes from other fanfic sites that resulted in shit like ppl mass reporting ffnet fics etc for nitpicky "rules violations" simply because they didn't like the pairings

Posting this here is preaching to the choir because most of us have left. Still, the point that posting normally there makes the N*zi CSAM social media platform seem normal is particularly salient imo. Posting your normal content there is providing the site with its disguise of normalcy.

X is the platform this particular mass murderer uses to seed his most poisonous ideas. A couple of months ago, he used the platform to egg on the Belfast pogrom. Those who continue to post on X-in particular those X users who are not racist psychopaths-are enhancing the site's usefulness to him as a propaganda tool by drawing more eyes to the platform and making it look like an ideologically diverse "marketplace of ideas" instead of what it is: a delivery vehicle for bringing fascism into the mainstream of global politics. Oh, and perhaps the Internet's leading destination for those in search of child sexual abuse material.

"Musk’s meddling in the site’s algorithm to suppress certain kinds of posts and elevate others is well documented. So if your anti-fascist posts on X are still getting views, it’s either because these posts are so toothless as to escape Musk’s notice, or because they are in fact useful to him."

there are a lot of things on the banned lists that I don't like to read. through incredible personal struggle, I have developed a fool-proof solution: I don't read it.

Out of curiosity, went to check out the new wattpad guidelines, and not only are they banning pwp, they're cracking down on pretty much anything that doesn't have a moral lesson and a happy ending (and can't be too violent either) policies.wattpad.com/content/

One thing I least like about social media, and I see it a lot on Bsky because it's so small, is how it amplifies the human psychological tendency to attack what is nearby when you can't get the actual cause of your frustrations and fears. Some small thing or person becomes symbolic for the whole.

It's true that those takes are really bad but the good news is you are at the very least making sure people who are avoiding them see them anyway and get mad about them. Here's why that's praxis: 🧵(1/????)

i've worked with the wattpad corporate team (as a software consultant). their goal is to commercialize fanfiction as much as possible through ~brand alliances~ so this type of control play was kind of inevitable but it's buckwild to see it actually happening. hayes code for DIY fan communities.

the most annoying thing about stupid book marketing is that you know most of the time the author doesn’t want to be doing this either. they also don’t want to be up there telling you their book is like [popular thing] mixed with [popular thing] and contains [ao3 tag] [ao3 tag] and [vague aesthetic]

Hey so as a heads up. This. Is. All. Commissions. PayPal is DREADFUL to work with. Do not mention the word. Do not censor the word. Please just pay the invoice. If you do the artist you commissioned WILL get in trouble.
