To anyone thinking about joining BlueSky, especially artists: everything you post is sent to a third party for AI labeling.

BlueSky uses AI to label content for moderation, and to do that they use a company called https://thehive.ai. If you look through their privacy policy, you will see that they can use content sent to them to train models for all their services, which include generative AI for both text and images.

Wint (dril) finally leaving Twitter really is the end of the era. Reading back through his quotes, he all but defined the vibe of Internet discourse through the 10's. https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Dril

Also I love the idea that a legendary shitposter leaving is what will finally mark the site as dead. Not when everyone else left, famous people, when the site broke, etc, no- because what truly defined Twitter was:

"who the fuck is scraeming 'LOG OFF' at my house. show yourself, coward. i will never log off'' -dril

it's cool to see twitter breaking a major function of cross-platform info sharing by killing off-site embeds in exactly the same way google did by killing reader, the same way apple did by killing flash

the enemy of all infrastructural stability online is the corporation's irrational hunger for profit at all costs. just because the head of today's dragon is a fucking court jester doesn't change the fact that this will only keep happening as long as the web is a playground for venture capital
