Mastodon/fediverse peeps who come across Bluesky accounts that are bridged (i.e. using Bridgy Fed), how do you feel about them and their posts? Please boost widely, I’m trying to get input from more than just my followers. 🙏 #Mastodon #fediverse #Bluesky #ATproto #ActivityPub
Link to article mentioning suicide, sextortion
This is so freaking sad. The criminals behind this are reprehensible—but the buck doesn’t stop there. It is the responsibility of social media platforms to work to prevent these schemes from succeeding and spreading on their watch.

 Excuse me, Sam Reich, CEO of Dropout, is posting on Mastodon with *nicely captioned alt-text!* If you don't already subscribe to Dropout, you really should. It’s like if American comedy was actually funny; a spiritual successor to Whose Line Is It Anyway in many ways, but also leaning into all the nerdiness and queerness of theater kids, D&D players, and comic book geeks. Truly smart and hysterical humor that lifts people up while never punching down. I really like Dropout. 🥰 View quoted note →
It’s really tiring hearing the, “open source is bad for security!” argument whenever it pops up, but especially in domains that *have a lot of work to be done* when it comes to adopting open source, like LLMs and AI models. Being MORE open is not the problem here. Opening up the weights and releasing under open licenses does not suddenly create security vulnerabilities, unless you believe solely in security through obscurity—which, I’m sorry, the tech industry has moved on from for the better.
