  • Bsky gets a constant stream of bot-created scam accounts posing as Gazans soliciting donations for food, medicine, shelter etc. Sometimes as many as a dozen created within seconds, all pointing to the same donation-platform URL, with only minimal variations of usernames or post content, sometimes with donation URL obscured using short-link services.

    Just like with email spam, scammers and filters are locked in an endless adaptation race. It is almost inevitable that some genuine accounts will trigger false positives when demographics or keywords overlap the flood of scam/spam content.

    The situation is also very vulnerable to manipulation by the forces perpetrating Palestinian genocide. Israel’s cyberwarfare goons certainly have the means to manipulate, poison and jam Bsky’s Palestine-adjacent topic space, effectively co-opting and weaponizing Bsky’s own filters against genuine critics of the Palestinian genocide.

    P.S. fuck Xitter too lol


















  • Not only are humans born helpless and remain dependent on caregivers for an enormous extended maturation period - often mothers would not survive childbirth without assistance. Being human is fundamentally rooted in community values, empathy, kindness, sharing, cooperation, generous credit. Any ideology that vilifies these realities is an antihuman perversion, a sickness.
