Staff being able to apply an adult content label to an entire acct overrides the label function and is not a good thing. Do you know how many newcomers don't know that their default moderation settings hide us from view completely and they just assume we don't exist? This is shoving us out of sight

The release also includes a rebuilt GIF picker, a refreshed photo viewer, expanded moderation labeling at the account level, and a fix for a bug that was silently dropping some iOS video uploads.

So this post I made will not even be visible to newcomers because it was posted by me, a dirty and obscene nsfw artist, so I won't even be able to tell people how to access my art. @bsky.app the people this hurts are your majority userbase. What do you think happens after that?

Reposting this-- Bluesky hides NSFW posts from you by default so you'll miss my work if you don't turn it on: SETTINGS > MODERATION> Set toggle to Enabled ✨ Also be sure to turn on "sexually suggestive (cartoon)" setting: SETTINGS > MODERATION > Bluesky Moderation Service > Set to "off"

What the FUCK oh yeah they are doing this again huh fucking CHRIST accountwide, not just per post, not just tagging posts, but tagging entire fucking accounts so they are unreachable. This fucking **sucks*

Subnautica 2 publisher Krafton now forced to pay $250m earnout to Unknown Worlds developers after more than 4m units sold www.eurogamer.net/subnautica-2...

actually i kinda *do* think using genAI should be such a social faux pas that the user is marked as a pariah and no longer feels welcome in the community. "AI is bad" is no longer an abstract (it never was), my city has been under a boil water advisory for a week because of AI data centers

CA’s transparency bill AB-412 (which forces GenAi companies to disclose if their datasets are using YOUR copyrighted works) is in a slow march to become a bill. Also due to massive tech opposition, they make us all work for it every step of the way. Don’t let em win, sign the petition below asap!👇

Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com

“We believe that all people—including all LGBTQI+ youth—deserve to see themselves represented in the media. And we also believe that parents and guardians, not government regulators, should be the ones deciding what their children are able to watch.”

Please remember, the future is not set in stone. We can turn things around, but it takes effort. Contact your reps, get involved in local orgs, do what you can.

Kickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.

The OCC is asking people share their debanking experiences via public comments on bank licensing filings. The comments will be taken into account when approving/renewing licenses www.occ.treas.gov/topics/charters-and-licensing/public-comment/submitting-public-comment-on-licensing-applications.pdf

Stop using PayPal (unless it’s your ONLY option). Especially for work. I stopped using it 4 years ago, switching to Wise and bank transfers only. I have had NO issues. In 4 years only one commissioner couldn’t work with me because of my payment preferences. One in 4 years. Fuck PayPal.

I have apparently wildly upset the Pro AI community for setting fire to an ai slop character in Minecraft as a joke. This was a fun moment where we set fire to Rome Because of the upset, I will be viciously mocking pro AI users further in future, because it's quite entertaining to do so

Happy Earth Day.
