So, I booked a train trip from Seattle to Vancouver. I figure the all-Canadian leg of my trip will be less chaotic. I'll ride to Vancouver on Saturday and then fly to Montreal Saturday night.
So, that doesn't cover my flight out, but my flight home might be affected. Even if my flight itself isn't cancelled, I'll be at an airport with thousands of people whose flights were cancelled. There will be delays in the network. If I do get cancelled, I'd be competing with thousands of other people to get on a flight, bus, or train home.
So, I am flying from Montreal to Seattle for #seagl2025. I leave on Nov 6 and return on Nov 8. I fly from Montreal to Vancouver to Seattle, and then back. All good.
So, I wanted to verify something about how Bluesky handles adult content. So as seemed reasonable for doing a test, I logged in my test account. I immediately found my test account was banned from seeing nudity.On investigation, I found my test account is permanently flagged as *mandatorily* region-locked for: Brazil; Russia; Turkey; India; and Germany. I cannot turn the moderation for any of those five countries off. Not even using Blacksky, not even with a self-hosted PDS.What in the fuck?
