Hey folks. I am going to take a break from social media, for some time? Politics are having a negative impact on my life. I just got into an argument with the fiance regarding politics, and we never fight. I need to put it aside.

Bluesky is deleting any accounts created in Gaza. @safety.bsky.app wtf are you guys doing? You're out here, being openly complicit in the Palestinian genocide.

BlueSky is one of the worst platforms I have ever dealt with. Within seconds of creating a second account, after my first one was shut down just two days after it was created, my account was closed again. This happened despite the fact that I hadn’t posted anything or followed anyone. I was only in the process of adding a profile photo, yet I received an email claiming that my account was “spam” and that it was “causing harm.” What kind of logic is this?
The painful truth is that the account was shut down the moment it became clear it was created from inside Gaza. It seems we are no longer allowed to write or speak about what is happening to us here. They are not afraid of content itself, but of our voices and the reality we carry with us.
Millions are spent to silence these voices and to erase the truth. I am exhausted by this platform and by how our photos and videos, which document real suffering, are treated as “violations of community standards,” as if pain itself has become a crime.
What is happening is not simple moderation or policy enforcement. It is an attempt to erase our existence and bury the truth. And honestly, this is shameful and unbearably painful.
[the original poster has included two screenshots showing the email from bluesky admin informing him that his account has been taken down for being 'spammy, inauthentic or disruptive to users'. it's the standard boilerplate you get when they take moderation action.]

Another week, another state of emergency! We need a government that is willing to do all it can to mitigate the impacts of our new climate. #nzpol #chooserenewables
The secretary general needs to step down. The attacks against Albanese are very transparently political. He has no grounds to not support her. She has always held herself with dignity and professionalism. She is what remains of the morals of the UN. He needs to step down.
Drop Site@dropsitenews.com · 7mo ago🚨The UN Sec. Gen. is refusing to defend Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese even as a fact check shows a disinformation campaign targeting her for comments she never made. France 24 reviewed a video of Albanese & reported she spoke of “a common enemy,” meaning “the system” that sustains a "pro...
Sorry, kid, the government cancelled research into a cure for your disease. The man who swims in sewage and snorts cocaine in public restrooms said it's bad for you. Besides, there's no money now that we're locking up your friend's parents and the guys who mowed our lawn.
Really need to find a way to take down the Taxpayers 'Union'. That money was well spent & saved hundreds of thousands of lives. It helped so many continue to pay rent and mortgages. It helped us keep Covid free for so long. This country's (deliberately) short memory is a bloody curse. #nzpol
Mountain Tui@mountaintui.bsky.social · 7mo agoOh they don't even have to wait for the inquiry - they're going to milk this for months. The left could be fucked - Labour down, no left bloc even possible #dirtypolitics #NZ Round 5
I use medical cannabis. It is pretty damned expensive. I keep hearing that the prices will go down over time as more growers come on etc - hasn't really happened yet.
One would think RNZ would do journalism, put two and two together and say: "Hey, then why are the power companies raising costs if the dams are full?" #nzpol

The only reason there's an 'affordability' issue as the population ages is because the government refuses to tax rich people. The richest 350 families only pay 8% tax, and if Nicola Willis changed that, then the affordability problem goes away #nzpol www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

I can guarantee Mr Turnbull has enough money to stop working whenever he wants. The majority of people don't have that luxury and don't want to waste their best years being sapped by work. I'll be broken by 73. Like fuck I am going to wait to retire until then.

Simple fact is this: If you’re a member of the “gender critical” movement, you’re part of a pedophile ring whether you want to be or not.
Trans News Network@transnews.network · 7mo agoYou’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.
The Māori Seats in parliament are for Māori people. They are a Tiriti-based right not a race-based right. This is why at Rātana Pā we launched a member's bill to entrench Māori seats - the bare minimum for protect dedicated Māori voice in our parliament.
Trying to get out from under a scandal about his racism by posting a pic of himself with a probable child sexual abuser may not have been the smartest move in the circumstances.
Hipkins needs to denounce whatever advice he got from Starmer at this point Did he also talk strategy with McSweeney… or Mandleson?? Because it’s probably pretty important for Labour to SERIOUSLY reassess ANY decisions made on the basis of Hipkins UK Labour strategy trip
Um. This is random. I am 47 years old. I only just got the "why did the chicken cross the road" joke. I am definitely autistic.
Hey @chrishipkins.bsky.social and the rest of Labour. You need to come out NOW and do this. Pick up your spines and do it, otherwise you are just as culpable as the coalition if you do not. We need aspiration, not... whatever it is you are doing. #nzpol
Paul Le Comte 🇳🇿🇨🇦📷@paullecomtephoto.nz · 7mo agoRight Labour - NOW is the moment you put all possible contractors on notice that the project will be cancelled & contracts ripped up. Not tomorrow, not next week NOW.
Media world wide needs ro be completely dismantled and rebuilt. Chris is here condemning some sort of monolithic "the left" for rightly hating genAI. This just serves tech bro fascism. Any "journalist" doing leg work for the worst people should immediately lose their job.
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 7mo agoI understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.
This is such a vital piece. Please share this as fsr as you can. It perfectly encapsulates the situation we are in. We need aspiration. Labour need to step up to the plate. #nzpol

In the wake of a massive confirmation that the tech industry’s run by deranged pedophiles, not a single tech platform should have the balls to start demanding ID and enacting invasive policies. Yet they continue. They’re the ones being outed as dangerous and we’re the ones being regulated.

I have had to take two days off work due to autistic overwhelm and anxiety. Work is the bulk of the overwhelm, but I have a feeling that *EVERYTHING* is also having a pretty serious impact. Fiance said to me today that she has noticed my anxiety and overwhelm has increased the last two years...
