Yeah, this is a very real phenomenon and it’s difficult to do anything about it sometimes. People develope an internal profile of you based on their perceptions, and anything they say about you is based on THAT, not reality. It’s even more difficult when it’s somebody close to you who’s internalized that profile so much it’s become part of who they identify as. You’ll see this with the parents of trans kids where the parent has internalized some aspect of their child and it’s become part of their identity. “I’m the father of three sons” kind of thing. Then one of the kids comes out as female and the parent has a really difficult time with it because they identified themselves as the parent of three male children and that’s turned out to be incorrect, they’re the parent of two boys and one girl and they need to change how they identify themselves in addition to how they identify their daughter. Some parents have a really REALLY hard time of it (they still gotta do it though if they don’t want to be a shitty person)
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 1 month ago:
Related to this, there’s a Google translate button at the top that reads, in Turkish, “translate to Turkish”
Which could be evidence that the screenshot comes from somebody who speaks Turkish, which increases the chances that the person receiving the email is in Turkey.
That doesn’t answer your question, but it suggests that Bluesky may only be honoring requests regarding accounts they believe are subject to the local laws.
Two very important points:
- This is proof of nothing
- I personally will continue to use Mastodon instead of Bluesky

For the asshole, I would have gone with Dawkins

Approving the post and then locking it before anyone could comment would be a hilarious and fitting way to answer the question!
- Comment on Why would America declaring cartels terrorist organizations be a problem for Mexico? 3 months ago:
There are a lot of good answers already but I want to add that this changes the situation for any Hispanic people swept up by ICE. If officials feel like they can connect a person to the cartels in any way whatsoever, that individual can now be accused of being a terrorist. This changes the legal process they face, and that’s not good news for them. It’ll be easier to send the person to Gitmo. It’ll be harder to fight for that person’s freedom. They’ll likely be tortured, and anything they say can be used as pretense for further aggression by the Trump administration, both domestically and foreign.

Sounds like your girlfriend has already broken up with you and she’s just waiting for you to get with the program because she’s too conflict avoidant to say it to your face.
- Comment on Pokémon Go Players Have Unwittingly Trained AI to Navigate the World 6 months ago:
same way an LLM is able to produce coherent and convincing sentences by statistically determining what word is likely to follow another
To me this implies that the navigation AI is going to hallucinate parts of its model of the world, because it’s basing that model on what’s statically the most likely to be there as opposed to what’s actually there. What could go wrong?
