Either ICE has started cruelly arresting beloved community members, or ICE is merely enforcing existing laws to remove murderers and rapists.
Both of these are only half-right. Whatever side you’re on, you probably have something to learn.

Thanks for the suggestions! Here's the link to the post on the forum: discourse.atprotocol.community/t/lexicon-em...
There is some interesting discussion in the replies to this post. I think @masnick.com com makes some good points here, but I don't agree that algorithms that just show you want you want to see are simple "conduits of speech". These innocuous-seeming algorithms have tremendous social consequences.
We are about to find if we are intelligent enough to create a computer program that is intelligent enough to create a computer program that’s more intelligent than we are.
@bnewbold.net , @pfrazee.com, @alex.bsky.team check out this proposal for oEmbed support in other ATProto lexicons! It builds on lexicon publishers for web embeddings. Thoughts? Should I post this somewhere? #atproto
