Jane: I dumped 15 more codes in screenshots on twitter which all got taken in a few minutes and this is what the following lists of the people that took them look like. all the pearl clutching yesterday about how "THIS IS HOW NAZIS GET IN" look less like concern and more like a way to attack a trans woman

I dumped 15 more codes in screenshots on twitter which all got taken in a few minutes and this is what the following lists of the people that took them look like. all the pearl clutching yesterday about how "THIS IS HOW NAZIS GET IN" look less like concern and more like a way to attack a trans woman

looking a lot more like some of the "bluesky elders" are worried about their following being relatively smaller as the pond gets bigger.

i think a good rule of thumb is that when everyone mad at you has 15k+ posts it’s probably ok

it's very funny, this website is either going to stop being invite only or die before it does, and witholding invites to those you do some Developed Vetting shit to will only make it more likely that the site will just die because it's a insular self-suck with no new users

it's literally just about feeling they have clout

I’ve never used it, but isn’t Mastodon literally what these people are asking for

You can’t really boast about having an invite to a private mastodon instance though

Those people insisting they aren't big accounts at the same time as positioning themselves as able and entitled to enforce secret society standards on this place is uhh... an interesting approach tbh

Exactly, they were accusing lauren of inviting nazis for nazi-arguing clout or whatever but really they’re just scared that they wouldn’t be able to compete with that

i dont think its that deep i think some people just feel important and good if they're correcting other people and dont put any thought into it past "I can type these words out on the keyboard"

imagine being ground floor on a site that isn't even a year old and being like yeeeeep I've seen me some shit young'n lemme tell you the ways of our people like the most interesting thing they saw was someone refusing to alt text

make it worse

All gone lol and anecdotally it doesn’t seem like any of the people who joined off of them are fascists so I think probably it’s ok

Undignified

very embarrassing behavior imho

I mean, right now T&S seems to mostly be "don't invite Nazis"

Such a bizarre response. This website isn’t going to be invite only forever, and it has a public waitlist, it is inevitable people you don’t like, including vile nazis, etc, will eventually get on here. Having good posters sharing codes to their followers only helps improve the community.

yeah we need to see if this place has the fortitude to drive out the dangerous POS before we put our best jokes on here

I’m optimistic about the community moderation on here—mute lists are a great idea—so I am hopeful that the eventual influx of nazis and maga guys will be easy to quarantine away from the posts I want to see.

hmm i see a lotta good accounts on there, those ppl have pretty solid taste!

not following me? You best believe that's a paddlin'

(please don't share this with horny bluesky)

As someone who was a huge ATR fan back in the day, I do love your name.

time comes for us all, even the breakcore kids

It really does. But, I can take comfort in one thing. At least we'll never hear "Destroy 2000 Years of Culture" in the supermarket when we're 65. Our memories get to remain our own.

One silly ATR memory to share because I'm a bit drunk: 1996 show in Lawrence, Kansas. Alec Empire is on stage ranting. "Fuck the government! Fuck the police!" Group of conservative poli sci majors at the bar laughing. One yells back: "Yeah! You got it man! Fuck Alexander Hamilton!"

lol I just noticed, also a big ATR fan in my youth

ppl are claiming a bunch of nazis materialized "suddenly" last night. you curate your feed(s) on here, if you're getting recommendations for nazi shit that's on you.

They’re all on the top 24hrs blocked list, but again, they could have all been invited by one or two accounts

there's plenty of nazis that were here before and have been accumulating invites.

yeah that’s my point.

I don't know, if they followed me that early they're questionable at best, frankly.

This person is cool

More important discourse brewing here

where's me

hi jane here are mine thanks or sorry to bother

thank you!

Rays fans??

they're a federally protected species

ah i see were at the point of a social network where the size of the pond starts growing and the current ecosystem begins getting jumpy at the new arrivals. this usually means we got some high drama incoming

kinda sus not seeing a lot of zyla.gay follows here

we don't know each other but please take these away from me cheers

Mike.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀��...staging.bsky.app accursed things. bear them far from me and mark as damned any who claim them for their own.

lol all five instantly gone great job

HELL YEAH RAYS FAN WOOOOOOO RAYS UP!

You’re getting sports folks on here- which is probably the best thing for this place- I’ve seen sooo many ppl saying they only go back to Twitter for sports

Three more for the groypers
