Bluesky Deletes AI Protest Video of Trump Sucking Musk's Toes, Calls It 'Non-Consensual Explicit Material'
-
because there is zero marketing for mastodon. zero sex-appeal to mastodon.
bluesky was a better car salesman selling the same old car twitter had.

I don't like AOC, but any threat of of call for violence is unacceptable regardless of the target. I don't care if it's despicable people like Trump, violence against an individual isn't the answer. Violence against ideas, however, is fine.
There are politicians that I kind of like, and they should also not be above reproach. Bring all their bad takes into the light and let's talk about them.

That's a really thin line. I have a hard time imagining anyone sticking to this same argument if the satire were directed towards someone they admired in a similar position of power. The prime minister visiting a school is a world away from AI generated content of something that never actually happened. Leaving nuance out of these policies isn't some corporation pulling wool over our eyes, it's just really hard to do nuance at scale without bias and commotion.

It's satire, and yeah, I think satire of Harris skipping the primary process through "backroom deals" could be criticized with a similar video.
As long as there's a point to the video, it's speech. Make it clear that it's AI gen satire and I think it's fine, just don't make more explicit than necessary to get the point across.

I don't agree that Mastodon is technically better, but it was first so it should have first mover advantage.
I think it largely comes down to marketing. Mastodon is marketed by word of mouth, and BlueSky has an actual marketing team.
-
Or more likely a Trump fetish.
-
If it's actual satire, it should be allowed, but to be satire, it needs to criticize something instead of just being offensive.
-
I'd expect a little more enthusiasm from our Commander in Chief...
-
How so? Lemmy is technically decentralized and mods remove stuff here...
-
That doesn't sound like satire, so probably not.
-
Tarantino nods in agreement
-
Their moderation has been garbage lately. They're wrongly banning people for things they didn't do. It's just premusk twitter at this point. The real fediverse is a better vet medium and long term
-
We do need better onboarding. I wonder if you could make an equivalent of the "discovery" feed that wasn't abusive to the user

Bluesky is BS

Except you know that sexual exploitation has a different effect on women than men. Trump revels in his playboy reputation. Harris was accused of using sex to get ahead in politics. And you know that conservatives would believe that the video was real while they jerk off to it. Those dipshits still think Michelle Obama was a man.
Trump rapes women. He's not entitled to the same level of respect as almost anyone. He is entitled to the same laws, on that we agree.
-
And you know that conservatives would believe that the video was real while they jerk off to it
It doesn't matter what they believe, what matters is that it's explicitly parody or satire. Idiots will be idiots despite your best efforts to prevent it.

By "technically better" I mean it actually delivers on its technical promises of decentralisation, as opposed to bluesky that simply uses decentralisation as a buzzword without being actually open source and without allowing real competition for the main - centralised - instance.
I think mastodon has actual legs in that if bluesky fails to actually open up, it will enshittify and there will be another exodus. Mastodon has technical barriers to that kind problem, so it will still be there to pick up the pieces. The decentralised nature protects the network from enshittifying and means it will tend not to ger exoduses like central platforms do.
If in that time mastodon has worked on its discovery features, it might be finally ready to capture that growth.
If bluesky manages to properly decentralise then I imagine mastodon will not need to pick up the slack and will either join the network or fade into irrelevancy.
Hard to say which way it will go. I don't hold out a lot of hope for bluesky changing its ways, and who knows when mastodon will improve in this way.
-
WTF bluesky.

My understanding is that BlueSky is distributed, meaning there's no single point of failure and nodes are independent. So scaling up should just mean adding more nodes, not having to scale vertically.
Distributed computing is a form of decentralization where the goal is resilience of the platform, not decentralization of control. The goal is very different from the Fediverse, which is to decentralize control, with resilience being a nice side effect.
Mastodon has technical barriers to that kind problem
It also has technical barriers to widespread adoption, hence why BlueSky is winning. I'lf BlueSky fails, people will just go to whatever alternative has a healthy marketing budget and low barrier to entry.

I don’t want to watch this video please
