Just link the Bsky posts. I like Aftermath as an outlet but when a “news” article is just 2 embedded posts and some fluff, why not just directly link the source?
Honestly, I mean actual journalism could’ve at least figured out the false claim, what page was removed to comply, why that was a false (or not false claim), and report on that… instead of just… “here is what he said:” quote “and to summarise, he said that.”
Sad to see you catching downvotes for answering a question.
I agree that not everyone is comfortable with all the different platforms, and I understand you opting for something potentially could be viewed by more people because of it.
I think one of the better compromises is to post a direct link to the source (bluesky, twitter, whatever), and then post a screenshot or quote as a top level comment.
That way people can follow the link if they want the community responses over there or just read the copy of the post here.
It’s a centralized Twitter clone run by a faceless vulture capitalist corporation that’s now full of the second worst people to occupy Twitter. At best they’re harvesting all of your data, at worst they’re prepping the data they’ve harvested to be handed over to the trump administration and whatever AI powered hyper Nazi tool theyll use to set up raids on dissenters.
It’s building out federation and you can already host your own account and control your own data and run your own feeds. The investors don’t have control of the company (public benefit corporation).
The only difference between it and Mastodon in terms of scraping is that scraping public data is a bit easier. Nothing about Mastodon makes that scraping difficult, it’s just more annoying to do. The company itself is not doing AI BS.
Well that’s an excuse for a couple of the problems, doesn’t solve the user base problem, which still makes it awful. LinkedIn without their data policy is still a god awful social media site.
This makes me angry at both Funko and the domain registrar.
YouTube’s noncommunicative takedown process has always been regarded as the best system of any popular video upload site (because there aren’t any others) but for this shit to poison the open web is definitely not okay.
I’m always angry at funko for being a shit company that sells shit plastic products whose main purpose is to take up shelving space, everytime I’m reminded they exist.
Iwantmyname is a budget registar so I’m not surprised at their non effort. I’ve used them to help see what domains were available but never actually did business with them and I don’t recommend you do.

My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.
A real “checks notes” moment.
This is an incredibly condescending headline, directed at the wrong party. They had every right to blame Funko.

It’s for sure not a legitimate process.
DMCA doesn’t entitle you to force a service that complies with DMCA requests down.
I actually linked to the itch(.)io Bluesky post, before deleting it and posting this article for accessibility reasons.
Not everyone is comfortable using Bluesky.

It’s a pity all social media can’t just be normal links so we could actually talk about things instead of fussing with how we share them.
Why? What’s wrong with it? What have I missed?

Wow, that is certainly a take.

except, its not. they control the keys to the kingdom and will until they change some fundamental parts of their architecture.
heres a great indepth, technical read on why bluesky controls even your ‘independent’ ‘instance’

They are so fuckin ugly. I don’t like to judge people for their harmless hobbies but if you have a Funko Pop collection…you have bad taste.
I’ve moved to Cloudflare and they offer at-cost domain registration, and I’ve heard they’ve been good to work with generally speaking.
