I regret to inform that Twitter still isn't down for me. 😐

[Melithian @Melithian539]

It's why people never left even when Elon is making this place worse and worse. I really wish we could just backup all of our tweets, close our account and then take them elsewhere. I think that's the idea behind decentralized social networks, but it's too late for this one.

[Melithian @Melithian539]

I feel bad for Blu3Sky cause even though it's a better site, as soon as the 🇧🇷 ban is uplifted, people will just come back. It's not about being better, it's about where everyone is and the history/emotional investment they have.

[Melithian @Melithian539]

But it could also be because Alexandre, the federal judge, personally saw that Lady Gaga follows me here and took pity on me and allowed me to continue using the site.

🇧🇷 mas também pode ser porque o Xandão ficou com pena porque a Lady Gaga me segue aqui aí ele deixou continuar.

[Melithian @Melithian539]

Ok, so Twitter still works for me and I don't have any VPNs or anything, so... am I stuck here forever?

🇧🇷 Ok, o Twitter ainda tá funcionando pra mim e eu não tô usando nenhuma VPN nem nada, então... tô preso aqui pra sempre?

[Melithian @Melithian539]

Oh, ok, my ISP is a regional one, so it's probably gonna take them a bit longer to block it.

🇧🇷 Ah sim, minha operadora é regional (LinQ), então eles devem demorar um pouco pra bloquear o site.

learning that twitter is getting shut down because political disinformation is illegal in brazil makes this so much funnier

[Luana Davico @LuanaDavico]

Vou explicar pra quem tá perdido:
No Brasil, o CÓDIGO CIVIL (n é o Alexandre de Moraes) determina que pra operar aqui, tem q ter SEDE E REPRESENTANTE no país.
O x é uma empresa. O X n quis cumprir decisões do STF. Vc pode recorrer. Vc pode questionar a decisão. O Legislativo pode até pedir o impeachment do ministro. Mas o q não pode é um bilionário simplesmente n cumprir e para tentar ficar imune de qq consequência, retirar a sede e representante do país.
Quando ele fez isso, ele entregou de bandeja ao STF, autorização para banir essa empresa do Brasil, n por simplesmente n fazer o que Alexandre quer, mas por descumprir a regra básica do código civil que citei lá em cima.
Conclusão: se vc acha q empresas podem funcionar ilegalmente no país, eu nem debato.
Se vc acha q as decisões de um país devem ser descumpridas, não debato.
Se vc acha q a decisão é ilegal, existem meios legais de questionar.
Se vc acha q liberdade de expressão envolve direito de praticar crimes, nem debato.
Se vc acha q o ministro extrapola os poderes, lute pelo impeachment.
É isso pessoal.

With another round of awful decisions from Twitter leadership, a reminder that I can be found on Blu3sky (not frequently, but I'll try).

🇧🇷 Com outra série de decisões horríveis da liderança do Twitter, um lembrete que vocês podem me encontrar no Blu3sky (não o tempo todo ainda)

[Melithian @Melithian539]

I don't think this will last, it usually doesn't. See ya in a few days or weeks. Could always use a VPN, but probably best to stay away for a bit.

🇧🇷 Não acho que vai durar, normalmente não dura. Nos vemos em uns dias ou semanas. VPN é uma opção, mas acho bom tirar umas férias.

[Melithian @Melithian539]

@EiyaWoW @mmoawards No way you guys ship to Brazil and shipping doesn't cost an arm and a leg????? I'm honestly considering it now.

[Melithian @Melithian539]

@arcanistsaphras @TheRedShirtGuy Oh, they did? Well, I hope they do it for this case then hahaha

[Melithian @Melithian539]

@keyboardturn I understand why it's required for Bluesky to be competitive, but I can't help but feel sad that we can't have a pure text (at most images) platform anymore. Videos improved twitter in some ways but made it worse in several others.

[Melithian @Melithian539]

@DiscordianKitty Yeah, nothing so far. On one side, I hope it doesn't go through and I get to keep using the site. On the other, imagine being finally freed from Twitter??? Blissful. Also pissing off Elon Musk, the cherry on top.

[Melithian @Melithian539]

@TheRedShirtGuy I still don't get why the keep calling arcane "order magic", I think that's one of the worst changes since we started calling everything by their capital name cosmic power.

To the Moon Beach Episode is launching next month on September 20th, 2024! (🧵)

[jb. @jdotb]

this leveling change is prob the rat-fuckiest thing you could do with early access

let all the sweatlords blast 16 alts in 24 hours and then immediately after launch you're like "oh leveling should take longer"?

this is comically villainous, some real mustache-twirling shit

[Melithian @Melithian539]

@DiscordianKitty Let's gooooooooooooo

[kate (artemisha) @artemishawow]

PSA: account-wide warband banks still aren't fixed, I'd advise not using yours. Mine just ate 40+ pieces of pre-patch gear I bought last week and had saved up for levelling alts. The gear was there a few hours ago. @BlizzardCS #TheWarWithin
