you missed the golden age tbf it lasted only two weeks before the devs had to pull all nighters to implement blocks. but it was golden.

i got catcalled once i think, and when i was struggling with my bike a man stopped to help, which is the first time that's happened. other than that... maybe people being concerned i don't walk home alone at night i guess?

the weirdness of accidentally socially transitioning by moving towns whilst boymoding didn't even realise for weeks that most people were reading me as female, since third person pronouns are rarely used when directly addressing someone. little difference; we live in a very gender neutral society

f*, i haven't even socially transitioned and people who first read me as female still seem to slip up, even after finding out i'm not. was quite funny to be told i don't deserve the vote because unlike men i don't get drafted... after sharing a room with the guy who said that...

i think people have a hard time reconceptualising someone's gender which sucks if they knew you pretransition, but if they didn't, finding out you're trans isn't going to automatically flip how they see you

It really is a weird symmetry that this year the UK elections are the 4th of July and the US elections are the 5th of November.

(i will make the occasional exception for metapolitics lol) congress is gridlocked because it's so partisan. the answer is to *mandate* multipartisanship, by denying anyone a majority... or a large enough minority to filibuster Congress won't do this, but scotus can

welp. they won't ("can't") assess the moderation decision after so long. guess a new pds is my only option. if they aren't abusing control of appview. i don't trust them with my repo. i don't trust certain people to not rotate my keys to lock me out of my account.

i mean, the immunity isn't absolute right? congress can still strip it if they vote to impeach. it's pretty explicit in the constitution as i understand it that presidential trials lie with congress.

does presidential immunity extend to people who aren't the president? pretty sure if seal team 6 followed through with it they'd face court martial. likely even execution. when the president does it it's not a crime means the president has to do the murder with his own tiny hands.

i suppose it's a tricky balance between growing slowly enough to not be overwhelmed and fast enough people don't lose interest don't think it's a balance bluesky managed to strike. the 7% a day from automatic invite codes would have been sufficient at that point tbh.

urgh. "stop handing out invites now me and my friends have arrived." the truth is they should have stopped at 20k lol and finished building the system before opening up further. having to rush blocks was a sign they were growing too fast.

i want someone to ask, now that federation has begun and they have an actual trust and safety team, when they're going to review prior decisions as they said they would do. and I can't ask that because they just blank me.

no, i mean the email address to my first account remains blacklisted for asking them to review their decision. they said they'd do it and then i heard nothing back. for a whole year.

i can't ask them what's going on with the review they promised to do an entire year ago, because they're being stubborn asses about it and refusing to give any indication what's going on with it. i don't even know what level I'm banned on! can someone *please* ask them for me?
