Okay man, we get it. You like Bluesky. You’ve posted at least 10 articles of people moving from X to Bluesky.

Strong shill op for blue sky is underway no doubt, i can't tell if it is organic since they are getting large user inflows or jay graber is funding these endless fake news headlines.

we will never know... but we do know that corpos love them shill ops to gain market share.

Articles about this will continue to be posted until moral improves

Can we stop using the term “TERF”? It doesn’t mean anything at this point. The transphobic assholes on X certainly aren’t radical feminists.

LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 17 Nov 14:56 next collapse

We need to make FARTs - Feminism Appropriating Reactionary Transphobes - stick instead

What is a TERF?

Trans Excluding Radical Feminist. It’s a rabbit hole and it’s not much fun past the first 100 meters.

dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 18 Nov 18:49 collapse

the tl;dr is that they are not really feminists, and they use feminist-sounding rhetoric to justify anti-trans views, they’re basically just anti-trans activists.

For more rabbit-hole, ContraPoints has a video about “Gender Criticals” (synonymous with TERF): www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pTPuoGjQsI

Her video on JK Rowling would be a good follow-up.

A “feminist” that claims to support gender equality, but thinks trans folk should diaf.

3dogsinatrenchcoat@slrpnk.net on 18 Nov 10:01 collapse

The issue with the term is that radical feminism is transphobic by definition so why specify “trans exclusionary”

BradleyUffner@lemmy.world on 18 Nov 15:15 collapse

Excluding trans folk is what makes these specific feminists radical. Their beliefs, otherwise, are fairly mainstream feminist.

3dogsinatrenchcoat@slrpnk.net on 18 Nov 15:32 collapse

The core idea of radical feminism is that humanity is divided into two groups - male (ontologically evil, sexual predators from birth) and female (weak, incapable of harm, in need of protecting) while some radical feminists define these groups as being based in assigned sex, and others define them by gender identity, it’s the ideology as a whole that is transphobic, and harmful in many other ways It is far from typical feminist beliefs. Thty advocate for things such as female seperatism, and killing all those they consider men or culling them to a small population to be kept only for breeding.

Americans are funny.

*Here let’s abandon the ZA fascist owned social media and move to the Russian fascist owned social media.

Reality does trump fiction.

psychothumbs@lemmy.world on 17 Nov 15:11 next collapse

Russian fascist owned? What are you talking about?

nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl on 17 Nov 16:10 collapse

Probably confused with criminal endorsed Telegram

Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 17 Nov 15:32 collapse

Are the Russian fascists in the room right now?

Bluesky was founded by Jack Dorsey and is currently majority-owned and ran by Jay Graber, a Chinese-American woman from Tulsa.

Hell, I even searched specifically for controversies and Russian connections, and absolutely everything that came up said the exact opposite of your claims here.

Juice260@lemmy.world on 17 Nov 19:59 next collapse

Why do so many people think they MUST be heard? 😆 That’s one of the reasons I deleted Reddit. Too many weirdos thinking that I owed them a debate or something whenever I commented something they disagreed with. It happened on Twitter too but I got rid of that when musk announced that he was going through with the purchase.

psychothumbs@lemmy.world on 17 Nov 20:02 next collapse

The reason people post on these sites is to make themselves heard I guess. You just have to ignore or block your way into the level of interaction you’re comfortable with.

I DISAGREE with you. YOU ARE NOW OBLIGATED TO ENTER AN EPIC DEBATE TO THE DEATH WITH ME BECAUSE REACHING A CONSENSUS IS IMPOSSIBLE IN THE INTERET!!!

Ideally everyone would be able to set up rules as to who and what they see.

Something like (pseudo syntax initially like SQL, but went off track):

IF sum(this.poster.posts.karma) < -100 OR this.score < -10 OR sum(this.poster.opinions.rating WHERE this.poster.opinions.source IN me.friends) < 0 THEN false ELSE true END.

If you’re proposing that front end devs literally provide an optional field for those with the time and motivation to curate their feed programmatically with some kind of query language, that’s god damn brilliant, and would persuade me to use an otherwise feature–lacking but decently polished client over any other.

rottingleaf@lemmy.world on 18 Nov 11:10 collapse

Yes.

I’d also want a standard, so that it wouldn’t be monopolized into one bigger platform, like with GMail.

And probably servers should have some kind of zero-knowledge protection, so that such a client-side filter would be the only one applied to the information. Maybe with ability to subscribe to filters published by someone else, of course, or kill lists, but always preserving transparency and choice.

EDIT:

I think NOSTR is kinda similar, only it has public keys as identities, just so. In general its cryptographic mechanisms are used as intended, but in a very ancient way. It’s too simplistic.

New Freenet (Locutus), I think, is going to be a platform where one can make such an application and a thousand others.

cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 18 Nov 16:00 collapse

because so much of conservative thought is about having captive audiences; look at how much they try to whine when they get protested at a school campus.

db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 18 Nov 07:30 next collapse

Moreover, Bluesky already feels a bit like how social media would look if a non-TERF version of the Guardian was running it. It’s very liberal, very centrist, and very ‘don’t rock the boat too much’.

We’ll be keeping an eye on this, and for the moment we’ll be posting to both Twitter and Bluesky. We look forward to engaging with you wherever you end up.

“we’re not ready to choose between the cop bar and the Nazi bar, so for now we’ll keep hanging out in both.”

Of course they don’t mention fediverse as an option. Of course.
