I do not like where this is going, it reads like a way to make face ID usage mandatory which in of itself is a huge security risk. Worst case scenario if this passes and I go dark, that's why. Not a minor but not up for the identity theft face ID breaches could set me up for.

The U.S. Embassy in London is pushing back on a proposed UK social media ban for under-16s. ITIF's Ash Johnson explains why empowering parents with customizable tools and age-appropriate safeguards is a better approach than one-size-fits-all restrictions. ⤵️

re: weird like ratio, a bot network(?) that was spam-following vietnam cat welfare on bsky has been spamming like on posts with popular hashtags or phrases (I typed gay and it got me twice). The charity @vietnamcatwelfare.org is legitimate and not facilitating the bot network in any way.

The group has acknowledged the weird bot accounts spam-following them, and that they haven't facilitated it. If I type g*y it does not get like-spammed by the bot network the same way just typing out the word or hashtag does, the bots are flooding popular topics like that. bsky.app/profile/viet...

We gained 10k followers overnight a few weeks ago. No idea why. Then everything we did immediately got 300 likes. This stopped now abruptly but we still have thousands of bot followers. An overwhelming amount to report 🙄

Appreciate you correcting the record. Vietnam Cat Welfare's experience reinforces what I've observed: suspicious accounts can artificially inflate engagement around legitimate users.

deleted some posts as I felt I jumped the gun a bit assuming the mass-followed account was in on it (they're not) bsky.app/profile/viet... charity appears legitimate, just caught up in bot follows for some reason. #gay and 'gay' in isolation garnered bot-likes. charityfinder.co.uk/vietnam-cat-...

Let’s finally continue Connie and the Essence of Chaos, with the Dietary Cemetery in the City of Burgersburg! A good ol’ sewer filled with toxic waste… Still much cleaner and healthier than Twitter! :P This includes all the beans and cages, and also the Rayman plum secret! 👀 youtu.be/t-HXBE2f88E

When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as “headcanon.” When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it “obnoxious” and “cringe.” They just don’t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they don’t want us to exist at all.

Very good point and very much part of the right’s social media tactics in Brazil, too. Two or three days before the polls opened, several Twitter accounts posing as leftists began lamenting Lula’s inevitable demise and parroting messages of “it’s over.” Don’t fall for it either.

whenever I feel bleak about the current publishing landscape, I remind myself that as a queer kid who read tons, I saw so few queer characters in books I thought it wasn’t allowed

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Little girls are finally being diagnosed with ADD/ASD and getting the help they deserve, instead of being traumatised by poeple who don't believe they're suffering. This is very very good.

Vinyl and Aero (I honestly don't remember the last time I drew Aero, but she now has an updated design. In terms of the ToM timeline, my custom Afterbeat level "Battletown" would've taken place before Aero's 2nd growth spurt) #krita #oc #ocsky #art #digitalart #metyrean #worldbuilding

since this has escaped containment: if you are a regular person who is not in the business of hosting websites you probably don’t need to do anything about this. pour one out for your friends in cybersecurity though, we are having a really bad day
