That's a pretty disappointing design choice. "Active status, on by default" is a significant safety hazard. It should be off by default. No social media platform / service has yet to learn this before there are incidents involving law enforcement

it's a $600 fee to tell trans people how to vote for every trans person you tell how to vote. if you just say generally "trans people should vote for x" you owe every trans person $600

Most of the people in the USA in prison right now are there because the Reagan & Bush administrations criminalised things like heroin, crack, & weed as endrun proxies around the constitution to effectively criminalise being poor & brown

Rush Limbaugh got a slap on the wrist. If he had been black and prosecuted in equivalent heroin or crack, he would have died in prison instead of getting a Medal of Freedom from Trump

A Washington Post writer is on here asking if political coverage actually affects elections.
And it's actually an interesting question! Communication scholars debate to what extent and through what mechanisms it does.
But it's short-sighted. The effect of political coverage goes beyond elections.
Amyville Hoyrror (@amyhoy.bsky.social):
does anyone believe the hillary emails coverage didn't affect the election??
Ms. Penny π π§βοΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
It didn't affect the people voting for Hillary but it sure was supplemental red meat for /r/the_donald

Paul McMc (@paulmcmc.bsky.social):
Advocating decriminalisation of CSAM is wrong. Decriminalisation isn't "legalisation" or "free distribution" though. Seems bad to slander someone who committed suicide over a decade ago just because 2 horrible Silicon Valley peepees were inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame at the same time as him.
Ms. Penny π π§βοΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
his website says he fights the laws that criminalise possession & distribution. That's his words.
It's easier to defend, dismiss, derail, or deny uncomfortable things, to write it off to him having been groomed by mentors or w/ever - that's not for me or anyone to do.
Ms. Penny π π§βοΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
The patent fact is that he had a position of power & privilege over the operation of platforms that could be used to distribute, & distribution of s*x exploitation material - CSAM, CSEM, NCIM - always harms the subjects / victims.
