Conspirador Norteño (@conspirator0.bsky.social):
In an apparent attempt at handle squatting, someone has set up a network of Bluesky accounts with identical biographies, which include an email address to contact to obtain the handle(s). The handles reference various Brazilian entities and individuals, including Lula da Silva and Jair Bolsonaro.
Conspirador Norteño (@conspirator0.bsky.social):
This network consists of (at least) 86 accounts, all of which have the exact same biography and all of which were created over the span of nine hours on August 31st, 2024. Each account follows exactly one account (@/bsky.app), most have yet to post, and all have few or no followers of their own.
Conspirador Norteño (@conspirator0.bsky.social):
A few of the accounts have posted either once or twice. In every case, the post is an image, usually the same image the account uses as an avatar.

I was writing up a simplified bad actor ontology this evening and "handle squatting" was a "corner case" I edited out of my Spammers / Scammers tier, because surely it's some corner case, right

Now I really wish Colin Allred were my rep, because I would be on the phone right now if he were.
We already have DoS FTO designation regulations & laws that apply to "charities" that provide non-religious material support to FTOs.
This bill would have killed transgender charities.

Mitchell Epner (@mitchellepner.bsky.social):
I just blocked an account that I previously followed, when the person insisted that AG Garland was the hero of the Trump prosecutions because he (a) obtained "sealed indictments" of Trump in 2021 and then (b) brought in Jack Smith as Special Counsel to "get the evidence". None of that is true.
Mitchell Epner (@mitchellepner.bsky.social):
To be clear, this was on a thread in my account. I'm not going to block people for being deluded on their own threads (but I will block Nazis, anti-LGBTQ bigots, etc. as I find them). If someone comes on my thread and ignores factual debunking and warnings, they will get blocked.
reality check 🤔🤷♂️ (@realitycheck.bsky.social):
I thought this was a community, where we're free to share what we think, and be set straight if we need it.
Now I get why I've been blocked by prominent Bluesky users, for mildly pushing back on "their" threads.
If we can't speak freely here, in our little liberal world, we're really screwed.
Patrick (@17281posse.bsky.social):
If anyone thinks that this place won't be a cesspool echo chamber of some sort within six months, they're deluded. I got called "Nelson Chamberlain" earlier today for saying that the country will survive a Trump presidency. Lol comments like that might make me think we aren't strong enough.

I am very excited that @wireddotcom.bsky.social is HIRING. We'll be listing 3 roles this month, and more in January.
We're hiring a CULTURE EDITOR, which is an incredible opportunity for someone who wants to get really weird on the internet:

Karl (sad trombone noise enthusiast) (@brainnotonyet.bsky.social):
So I I think it's important to see the show people how Nazis and specifically groypers and other varieties of younger Nazis approach trolling, and the use of language online to secure what they are. This is going to be a little bit of a thread, so bear with me.
Karl (sad trombone noise enthusiast) (@brainnotonyet.bsky.social):
OK, first a little context this is going on in the comments of an account saying it's funny as heck to dox Nazis (which is absolutely true) when confronted with being told they aren't a fascist or Nazi they immediately revert to the centric position as this is the online right position to go back to
Karl (sad trombone noise enthusiast) (@brainnotonyet.bsky.social):
As that centrist position is seen as a wedge between the left and liberals/the liberals and the right. It used to derail and obscure. When pressed and called the Nazi they very specifically say" I am not a fan of the third Reich"this is key it's a clear indicator that they understand the label

The Sea Lion's in the right until panel 4, at which point he is asked to leave and refuses. At that point he becomes the villain.

(Not very) Fun Fact — immediately after Reddit set a Sitewide Rule Against Hate, the transphobes tried to lay a Karen siege on the Reddit admins, wherein one of their leaders deployed: "You have been hostile to me from the start when I was nothing but polite, there is something else going on here."

I made a tweet once that helped hatch a thousand trans eggs.
One of those eggs happened to be known for a popular long-running web comic lol
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
I learned about you because of (a certain segment of Trans Reddit reacting to a specific word in) that Tweet
I had been crucified for using it in the same Southern US Lingo sense, 4 years earlier
Kathryn Salamander 🦎 (@transsalamander.bsky.social):
Yeah I was only about a year into being trans and while I had a 4chan era of my online life I never really spent any time in the queer corners of that site so I didn't learn about the "hon" thing until years later.
Still feel bad about it tbh

As satisfying as this would be, it is unrealistic and wouldn't serve Trump's propaganda efforts. Truth Social and Xitter both serve distinct niches. Musk can operate Xitter forever with private funding; Truth Social is subject to SEC regulation.

Trump voters drink a lot of coffee, I'd guess
If there are ever elections again, the person running against Trumpublicans need to be a one-note pony:
Trump tripled the cost of your coffee
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Oh you spent $50 a month on coffee under Biden? And $160 a month on the same under Trump? Because of Tariffs?
Honestly. Do it.
