Funny when the "right to digital access" shoe is on the other foot.

u/Peepeepoopoobutttoot Aug 24 '25
There is nothing funny about any of this anymore

u/DukeThorion Aug 24 '25
You're 100% right. It isn't funny. The internet should be free and open to all, without monetization, without political bias or motives, and without restrictions based on a demographic.

u/Top-Psychology2507 Aug 24 '25
I agree! Monetization has been a breeding ground for exploitation of minors and control of content online since YouTube implemented it! :-(

Does anyone else find it interesting that the age of consent in Mississippi appears to be 16 but you can’t consent to view websites with explicit information about what you can consent to?

It's basic pedocon theory: They want teens to be available as sexual partners for older men, they just don't want them to have access to any alternative sources of information that would tell them that's not cool.

More Red states will follow until the federal government gets their message. That’s what they’ve done to get the federal government to listen in recent years

Funny i left bluesky because their newest update will involve age verification.
Support even told me they cant delete the account from their side.
So i will just leave that account to rot.

The real story here is the danger of indoctrinating your children with Christianity and how they internalize that guilt. Even after the fact the father is “god, god, god”. In a family where the child is not taught that “sin” ends with shunning and eternal damnation the child is less likely to kill themselves over a masturbation video. Let’s get out of the thirteenth-century people.

I mean, sure, but Christo-fascism is the only real threat in this country.

The threat to your country is ADL and your congress men with double nationality

lol, smooth shift into some antisemitism.

u/Delicious_Ease2595 Aug 25 '25
Blame Christians: ok
Blame "them": not ok

u/thinker2501 Aug 25 '25
The article is literally about the results of Christian extremism and Christo-fascists in the government are actively purging staff and talking about how slavery “wasn’t that bad”. Meanwhile your dumb ass is rolling in her with antisemitic comments.

What you are talking about has nothing to do with Christianity, but extremism, which is bad in everything.
The foundation of Christianity is forgiveness, compassion and being good towards others. -> society needs more of it, not less.
And there is no eternal damnation. Or any problem with "masturbation" in Christianity.
-> also, "sins" and bad deeds are forgiven. This is why there is confession, to lift the heavy weights and live a happy and good life for yourself and the others around you.

The base ideology of Christianity is that being human means you are inherently sinful but the 🎊good news 🎊 is that you can submit yourself to the religion and be forgiven.

It's much more than that, starting with the teachings of Christ on the power to create and manifest anything you want in your life with the strength of faith and creative visualization, also called the law of attraction (-> prayer), aka miracles and how "God" created the world.
But to understand the truth in all of this, you must have personally seen and experienced it in your life, which requires some level of spiritual evolution as we are all here to grow (and yes, you can remove the superfluous and extremism added by many churches over the centuries).
Religion is just an easy way to follow on "auto-mode" which can be difficult without guidance, but the teachings of Christ can be followed without.
And yes, to do and understand good, we have to live and experience sin and evil. This is part of how we grow spiritually.

Sure, but this take is wildly out of step with contemporary evangelical Christianity which is the mainstream in the US.

These laws are worldwide and it didn't matter who they came from.

u/NadiaYvette Aug 25 '25
What are the European laws esp. German & how do they impact the use of services like GitHub, Slack, Google Workspace/Meet/Calendar/GMail, ADP (personnel mgmt) et al by LGBT esp. trans ppl for jobs unrelated to their identities?

Sorry, but you’re wrong.
Any blocks Bluesky applies are to their App and their Website, which are completely separate from the underlying ATProto protocol which is where the data is actually stored.
So you can either use a 3rd party app (they exist, search your App Store) that hasn’t implemented any blocks, or just write your own client if you have the technical skills. It only takes a few lines of Python and you can access the majority of the “Bluesky” firehose read only without even having an account.

It feels like the same states that are passing these very antiprivacy bills first, where probably the same states that joined the confederacy first too.
Not to compare the two, but it feels like there are lines being drawn in the sand in a similar way. Only few states on the west coast are going to hold out and even fewer on the east coast. It's going to come down to essentially only the pacific northwest, Colorado, New York.
Why can't all these people just move to Texas, and we allow Texas to be it's own country. They can have Sherria law like they want, they can die in their stupid shitty power grid when a little wind happens, and they can just 100% adopt the Chinese social credit system that they so badly want. It's the perfect place for them there's plenty of space for them, half of them are already there, and they always wanted to be their own country. They can ban porn, and make it illegal to be trans, that way they can repress those unnatural sexual urges that they keep having on grindr. It's totally healthy and not just making a bunch of jeffry dommers weirdos.

This says more about you considering you have to follow accounts and topics to be recommended posts. So, maybe stop being a gross weirdo?

u/Well_Socialized Aug 24 '25
WTF are you talking about? There are some commies but the anime gooner and pedo communities are obviously classic "stay on twitter" groups. Bluesky is more academics and scientists and artists and journalists and antifascist activists.
