It's kind of poetic if you read it top to bottom and left to right:

What? What the...? The... The fuck? What the fuck. What, fuck. FUCK.

I somehow got recommended a YouTube drama video and I'm like 23 minutes in and am like, why do people watch this shit?

I did an undergrad degree in Comms, and when I told my ex that, she said I should ask for my money back.

Like look at this absolute legend, there's a frickin' cassette tape audio recorder skeuomorphism in a signal combiner app, where has this been all my life

Oh my god it's my lord and saviour I can't even begin to sing its praises

MacOS: "To combine audio signals you go to Audio Midi Settings"

Windows: "Well, the first thing you gotta do is download some random tool called Voicemeeter Banana"

Aw hey! Congrats to you too!!

Idk, maybe I just want to wish:

Sometimes when I groan the tonality is like C, G, then a higher C, so of course the only sensible course of action is to follow that up with two short groans at E♭

I used to just silently mute people who write unhinged replies to my post but now I just kind of find it endearing and/or an opportunity to spread obvious disinformation.

Pride has become one of the clearest places to observe civic space across Europe.

Our Annual Review traces what these developments reveal about freedom of assembly & the resilience of communities who keep showing up.

This is such an important piece of journalism right now; kudos to Cosmo for having more courage than the rest of the British media combined.

It's more complex than that given indiesky exists and non-Bsky services on the protocol often have their own moderation infrastructure. See:

bsky.app/profile/aend...

It's mainly weird that users who aren't blocked are impacted from being able to triage issues as effectively if the labeller itself is blocked, given that of all the accounts administrating a labeller, the service account is the most visible and therefore the most likely to be blocked.

Well, like, they effectively have, but if you're not using the Bluesky appview (e.g. you're a Blacksky user), they can't enforce that using app UI. This isn't new. What's new is that they're able and willing to enforce this on indiesky users.

It seems this might, in fact, be the case, GlitchyPSI investigated what Ozone looks like when someone blocks the labeller service user:

bsky.app/profile/glit...

Okay interesting, so I guess that means when Ozone is loading posts into the interface, it's loading them as the labeller service account? Why else would that message appear? (Assuming it's the service account that's blocked in this test)

Out of curiosity, are you logged in as the labeller user or a non-privileged mod triage user when you see that message? If it was the former, what happens if you login as the latter?

Intriguing! So, it seems blocking a labeller inhibits being able to see posts that have received takedowns already, because the appview will have taken them down so won't show them (and you can't get from source repo).

That seems not good?
