made the mistake of checking the vagina museum notifications

>instagram: general shitshow of not reading the post

incidentally the wave of outrage at criticising moderation on bluesky is the most engagement the vagina museum has ever got on the platform, the rest of the time it's been fucking crickets on every post
Show threadAnother Angry WomanJul 14, 2023
gonna actually say the bluesky ones are more persistent and insufferable than the twitter terfs today, who are at least completely half-arsing it. the bluesky defenders are putting their whole pussy into the "yet you participate in a society" spiel

@stavvers Bluesky's discoverability is so fucking bad. I don't think anyone even sees like 90% of posts.
Show threadAnother Angry WomanJul 14, 2023
@adrienne honestly, it's probably massively deboosting vm content *anyway* - for comparison, first post from the mastodon account got over 2400 engagements; first on bluesky got 28; when it's all algorithms all the way down, there's definitely deboosting going on
Show threadjust adrienneJul 14, 2023
@stavvers Honestly i don't think Bluesky is deboosting anything -- as far as I can tell that's not really a feature of their algorithms. The problem is that overly-detailed BOOSTING of certain posts/people has the result of leaving everyone else out.

@adrienne have you seen their content warnings system btw? Absolutely no capacity for users to add their own content screens, it's automatically added (inconsistently and often entirely inappropriately)
Show threadjust adrienneJul 14, 2023
@stavvers ayup. It's super bad! And they don't care! Because they are all-in on techbro crypto bullshit and their whole point is "the protocol" (which is a half-assed reinvention of better protocols that already exist).

@stavvers It's funny, the more time I spend on Mastodon, the more unhinged other social media sites seem because things are just so relatively SANE here and I had not experienced that for a long time.

@zorinlynx yeah, like it's not perfect here, and I still have no idea how the computer explainers can seek out any post to reply about how you should be using linux but aside from that it's pretty chill

@stavvers Heh, as a Linux fan I apologize for my overzealous comrades.

Use what you like. :)

@zorinlynx @stavvers I like to tell Linux people that my favorite version of Linux--sorry, *GNU-Linux*--is the one on Windows, because of how good a job it does at protecting the user. Their heads explode 😁

@zorinlynx @stavvers we're not even close to sane, they are just completely unhinged there

@stavvers What was the context of the Bluesky one? Not on there, and some of the reports out are wiiiild

@andi @stavvers

I also don't quite understand. You're not posting on Bluesky at all or just not certain posts? What makes a post inappropriate for that platform but ok on different ones?

You don't have to answer this.

@stavvers @boby_biq I know we get a bit navel gazey here but I have to appreciate a "fuck yeah mastodon" post that is something new in the world, so thank you (as ever, really) 🙏

@stavvers

It seems increasingly that my choice of social media is Twitter with its Mervyn Peake version of Two Minutes Hate aimed at the trans community, or Mastodon where I learn about things like clit bones and look at pretty pictures, and I'm only on Twitter for bus service updates, and I'm not signing up for another platform, so here I am.
