Very surprised this hasn't blown up yet. But in case you haven't heard, admins of so-far unnamed "popular" federated instances are feeding fedi users' post history to OpenAI for "political ideology analysis" under the delusion that this is an appropriate moderation practice. Surely there are others who might have a problem with this?
@piefedadmin has the details: https://join.piefed.social/2026/05/04/ai-assisted-moderation-in-the-fediverse-is-happening-now-what/
The fact that the instance admin(s?) responsible for sending the post history of a fedi user to OpenAI for "political ideology analysis" call themselves anarchists is simply tragic. How could anyone with this outlook trust and feed surveillance systems that reify hierarchy and make our worst enemies stronger. This is cop-think. The only conversation anarchists should be having about "AI" is how to most effectively sabotage and destroy this fascist technology

@Elizafox (Heck, you can use this wherever you can fit it--
Call 'em The 1% if that's what people around you are shouting and you wanna find a way to match the tropes and feel secure, or call 'em Zios if you wanna retreat emotionally/politically but still feel the righteousness of belatedly joining in on opposing a genocide.
Call 'em Huns if you're trying to sell a war against Germany -- it works both times, and is sure a heckofalot easier of a sell than actually caring about what Nazi Germany is doing (and where they learned it from).
Wherever the shoe fits. If you have to cut off a toe to do it? Who cares, not your foot, and their blood's on the table anyhow.
It WORKS. It's USEFUL. It's AVAILABLE and PRODUCTIVE and EASY,
and feels SO. SO. GOOD.)

@bobmagicii @JosephLeedy I do remember that episode. It was a good one.
Kenobi Unleashed: Just A Tad.
@plinubius I’ve have been hanging out with IndieWeb people since, idk, maybe 15 years ago?
@ramsey @JosephLeedy there is an episode of clone wars, probably one of my favourites of all time, where kenobi wields a red blade - borrowed via a truce called with ventress.
i could write an entire phd thesis on that one episode. but my entire life would then be spent writing the kenobi files.

@joncamfield I am so lucky that this is my life, but also I need to say no to more things.
It’s been a stressful day…

@hipsterelectron sorry didn't mean to startle your particular hobby horse with my absolute shit post.
@laprice i think there's a discussion to have here i just don't think it's about antidepressants. that rfk is also really big on threatening to (i don't think he's gonna do it) restrict adhd medication is quite curious but generally revolves around his rank eugenicism
Anthony Howe is a kinetic sculptor who creates wind-driven sculptures resembling pulsing, alien creatures and vortices.
This one is in downtown Montreal.
really happy to have discovered something hiding in plain sight for several years: robyn & rand miller's original Myst pitch document from 1991.
it's a succinct work of art in itself. i'm surprised at how much of the world design was already on paper.
as all of the copies found elsewhere online are heavily compressed webp/jpeg, i've uploaded the robyn's original PNGs to IA here:
