Thus, the decentralized platform is rolling out a "more aggressive" policy on parody accounts that aren’t clearly labeled.
If it were decentralised, it wouldn't be possible for the platform to set a network wide policy on parody accounts...
Because stirring up hate against vulnerable minorities, by positioning them as a threat is a well tested and effective technique for the power hungry to gain and retain power. And it's effective, because it works by pulling people in and making all of the conversation about whether or not it's right to hate on the group they're targeting.
It's a federated protocol, but the network itself isn't meaningfully federated, and is basically just Bluesky (the company) infrastructure. Hopefully that changes, because until then, it's still a centralised social media platform, despite the underlying technology

Nicolás Mihanovich, an abandoned cruise ship sits moored on the bank of Rio Iguazú, Puerto Iguazú, Argentina, at the apex of the borders between Argentina, Paraguay and Brasil.
It was originally designed as a luxury ferry between Argentina and Uruguay, but plans were made to turn it in to a floating Casino. The plans stalled, and now the ship sits, largely abandoned

The expression on that second birds face is meme worthy!

I don't know about beautiful data. That's scary data :/
If you're leaving skidmarks on things every day, the answer to that is better cleaning, not underwear to catch the marks.
I do sometimes bleach my undies (yay vaginas), but that's never been an issue when I'm going commando.
Artificial scarcity (invites) and VC funding
I'm the admin :P
