hey there Delilah what's it like in New York City?

i'm a thousand miles away and getting head from your friend Kitty, yes it's truuue

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Oh yes it's troooo

David Buchanan (@retr0.id):

well, now we know what copyright infringement takedowns look like on bluesky, heh

(curious if this is proactive, or at request of rights holders)

santy (@santodrive.bsky.social):

seguinte pessoal, notícia triste e totalmente inesperada, o gab do clubdodrive teve a conta aqui no bluesky com 38k suspensa e banida sem nenhum tipo de aviso prévio, infelizmente acho que é só questão de tempo pra minha e pra dos outros drives cair tbm :(

aqui tá o e-mail que ele recebeu:

Kuba Suder 🇵🇱🇺🇦 (@mackuba.eu):

What did they do?

morb (@meson.ninja):

"his telegram where he will be informing you about the next steps (link)

as for me, at first I will be returning to tw (twitter link), I will delete all the posts with films from here to avoid losing the account, my catalog with all the links is in the link in the bio."

morb (@meson.ninja):

guess they posted links to content offsite?

Kuba Suder 🇵🇱🇺🇦 (@mackuba.eu):

I wonder if just linking to copyrighted content elsewhere is technically illegal?…

Castilho (@castilho.bsky.social):

how you violate copyright on a site that only lets you upload static images 😂

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

US law doesn't stop at "it's just a link, it can't be illegal"; the courts here consider what purpose someone has for linking to content.

If an account is clearly structured to aid & abet copyright infringement, providers will suspend service, to avoid being considered an accomplice

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

My understanding of the DMCA process is that it provides a safe harbour for service providers that act in good faith on the affidavits and on red flag knowledge, and that at some threshold, an "excessive" amount of takedown requests arguably becomes red flag knowledge

Monica Rose (@monicarose.ca):

My question is: is it three strikes and your out, or do they expire after 100 days? As far as I'm aware companies can set their own rules as long as it removes infringing content

Natanael, Tech janitor (@natanael.bsky.social):

US DMCA is pretty much "best effort" to remove stuff on your own, and a requirement to accept and review & act on reports

Natanael, Tech janitor (@natanael.bsky.social):

They do say "repeatedly infringe" but that's not very precise

pietro (@peetro.dev):

bsky.social/about/suppor...

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

That threshold seems to be "whatever the legal department thinks is approaching what a judge / jury would consider complicity"

No set amount means it can't be exploited by bad faith actors

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

One of the axiomatic problems that Reddit had is that they relied on volunteers to set up & run message boards, and the people ready/willing/motivated to set up & run message boards were people too toxic for 4chan

There was no Reddit moderator code of conduct until 2022

Alsvid Wotansdottir (@alsvid.bsky.social):

I am, actually, the Trans Woman With a 4chan Phase. Ironically, I am also black, so the things that happened there scarred me very badly. That's why I can recount it from memory. I kinda spiraled for a while after I left 4chan because it was my home for a while.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

One of the interesting* parts of infiltrating / taking over old hatesubs is getting access to the Automoderator wiki edit history

A huge chunk of major subreddits' automod configs had commented banners proclaiming 4chan & SA shibboleths - often the most racist ones

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

More than once I've wished to be able to access reddit modmail before ~2021 when they moved the entire site to "new modmail"

Some of the subreddits' old modmails are just private chatrooms for some of the worst groups. Things that would send many away for decades, imnsho

Tiq (it/its) (@tiqalicious.bsky.social):

Starting to feel like one big mosquito bite

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Summer's over, time to come out of oestivus

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Donald Trump, last known possessor of a collection of intelligence briefs about Russian interference in the 2016 election, a collection too sensitive for even SCIFs, absconds with it and is the 2024 nominee

Leah McElrath (@leahmcelrath.bsky.social):

From CNN, December 2023:

"The intelligence was so sensitive that lawmakers and congressional aides with top secret security clearances were able to review the material only at CIA headquarters…"

why do we have upper and lower case letters

mollie quinn 🏳️⚧️ (@threnody.bsky.social):

i feel like if this were twitter you would already have some solid and absolutely unhinged bigotry-based answers for this.

real "and that's why decent white men should only ever use small caps and more accessibly sans serif fonts have contributed to the estrogenization of the american male" shit.

eva (@eva.computer):

sans serif fonts were invented by (((typographers))) to subvert our way of life

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

The way my arm twitched

mollie quinn 🏳️⚧️ (@threnody.bsky.social):

it's truly unsettling how easily after 10 years most of us can just be like, "oh right right, this is how they'd use taking the seeds off the arby's bun to pivot to the recommended reinstatement of slavery in…two tweets."

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

"… impossible to spell the name of our Lord properly …" would make an appearance somewhere

olive consumer (@machete.gay):

Robert Reich is the only person other than myself I've seen use the term coffee klatsch.

Unsure what this could mean.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

… you have impeccable taste in idioms —?

"Klatsch" is an awesome syllable. Seven letters, six phonemes, uses every part of the mouth

Hamburger Helpmeet (@oddrachel.bsky.social):

When I hear Trump's voice I feel like I have upended a large rock and there is a centipede underneath. The first time I ever heard or even heard of Trump was a commercial for the Apprentice in the 90s. I hated him instantly. That hatred has never lessened one iota since then.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

I just thought he was an obnoxious playboy stockmarket jerk until he started harassing the Scots over golf courses, whisky, and wind turbines

Vexatious lawsuits everywhere

Hamburger Helpmeet (@oddrachel.bsky.social):

I can't express my loathing for the man. It's intense to where I think it's bad for me.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Hogs?

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Feral?

Judith Butlerian Jihad (@xanindigo.bsky.social):

We need more American accents in fantasy IMO. There's no good reason for dwarves to always have those vaguely Scottish accents. Be original. Give me dwarves that sound like they're from Tennessee.

Abby (@arobertswrites.com):

JRRT actually doesn't roll in his grave when you write gay fanfic about his characters, he rolls in his grave when you write them with American accents.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

The trick passed around the renfaire circuit ~20-ish years ago for pronouncing Jacobean & Elisabethean era period English was to start with an Appalachian accent and "work back" on vowel shifts from there

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

wake up, yet still exhausted

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

It's dysphoria

Autumn 🍂 ♿️🏳️⚧️ (@fallgirlautie.bsky.social):

@sjehbebd.bsky.social Do you not have anything better to do with your time than harass people?

Hestia (@thegentlestorm.bsky.social):

Just block, they want your engagement. Why bother feeding them?

Autumn 🍂 ♿️🏳️⚧️ (@fallgirlautie.bsky.social):

Just been told of a block list for this guy's entire thing of alt accounts so I'll get looking for it

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Never respond to them or username ping them. If nothing else, block. If you can, report and then block. If you know of a private (not public) channel to pass along to a blocklist maintainer, pass it along.

somebody just told me not to demonize peepee cheney

bluesky news day complete

Semi-feral Post Monger (@dwaynefuhlhage.bsky.social):

I mean, at least he never took a dog to the gravel pit

other than that satan is still satan

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

He shot a hunting trip guest in the face and then didn't get him medical treatment for 18 hours, and then the guest wrote him a formal apology

Straight out of a Sold His Soul At A Crossroads For Power & Influence story

Semi-feral Post Monger (@dwaynefuhlhage.bsky.social):

I remember that story well. It's a safe bet the friend was Republican. Shooting a dog would be a travesty

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Folks

Peepee Cheney authorised the torture of innocents, randos, and POWs.

He had a plan ready to go to take advantage of an Islamist terror attack on US Soil, 20 years ago this week

He ran Halliburton

Demonise the frick out of him

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

You cannot speak more evil of the man than he has factually, willfully, proudly donned the mantle of himself

He is a goddarned capitalist cyborg, a son of a b-word, the living holotype of the fictional Colonel Nathan R Jessup, and he wears that as a badge of honour

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

His Opposing Donald Trump's Candidacy is a fact that can be used to help steer us away from a national Controlled Flight Into Terrain

It does not redeem him or save his soul or salvage his litany of discretionary ugliness

Cassandra Miller (@tiptransformed.bsky.social):

He found his floor. That doesn't negate all the other things he did and believes in. Same with his daughter. Same with all the Lincoln Project grifters.

I do not understand how liberals can run to embrace these horrible people. And it's infuriated me for years now.

I am certain you do not wish to argue that several years ago you assaulted me at Tanglewood Forest. Several of your fellow company members have chased me and thwapped me with Amtgard -legal boffer weapons on Company Road while I was making announcements on behalf of Kingdom Officers.
