Bluesky’s Execs This Week:
Biggest bag fumble in tech history. All they had to do was listen to trans people.

I'll never get over how, for many centrists, certain bigotry is disgusting but transphobia is accepted and fine.
-
It's a money thing. Trans people aren't pumping billions into the DNC, therefore we're expendable.
-
That's the neat part! They're comfortable with all forms of bigotry, but transphobia is the one they can do openly with zero repercussions.
-
It's because it's the hip thing to hate at the moment. So much for being free thinkers.

Meanwhile the hexbear board of directors

just sitting here vibing till all the trans people realize having their own space and not relying on corporate neo-nazis is the way to go

I 100% understand if nobody wants to rehash it, but as someone that doesn't use Bluesky, are there any synopses of what went down?
PS death to transphobes.

Jesse Singal joined Bluesky with the expressed intent to bring his Xitter followers and harass the trans population there. When the Bluesky users asked his account to be suspended or banned for their safety, the Bluesky Trust&Safety team basically said he had done nothing explicitly against guidelines on the site and that they would not do so. Even when shown direct evidence of him publishing medical records on the site without the patients' permission. Bluesky T&S basically nuked the goodwill they had been cultivating among marginalized communities.

Gross. What absolute fucks.

it really seems that a tactic that western liberals in positions of power love to do when running apologetics for murderers and attempted murderers is to ignore hard facts and reality when there is blatant evidence of malicious intent
then, with the same deluded thinking, twist and turn reality to invent evidence of wrongdoing when there are people from a marginalized group they want to harm
an example of this would be how mr. bonerelli can win the gold medal of mental gymnastics and evil simultaneously by saying the dozens of people murdered in cold blood by the IDF were paid to die by Kkhaaamas because it would make pissrael look bad... while also saying there is no evidence for systemic genocidal intent from pissrael

Also thank you

For those not on Bluesky, I would also like to point out that we basically spent the first year of that website's existence begging for a real Trust & Safety team, for a whole lot of reasons and incidents that occurred before there was one. And when Jay (CEO of Bluesky) finally hired one, she hired Aaron Rodericks to lead Trust & Safety. The Aaron Rodericks from Twitter's "Trust" & "Safety." Aaron Rodericks immediately began his job posting about how he cares way more about tone and manners than actual content of a message. So basically, as long as your transphobia and bigotry and racism and white supremacy is stated in a polite manner, it's cool with him. But if you get offended by the transphobia etc and speak up for yourself, YOU are getting banned. Also, since the Jesse Singal thing started, he has made it very clear he gives exactly zero fucks what Jesse Singal does.

No one should trust for-profit social media.

Perfect encapsulation of :LIB: :brainworms: They didn't break my rules on my property!

Oh hey look, it's half my family.

I am out of the bubble. What happened?

There might be a better article, but this is the top of the search.

That sucks
But predictable

bluesky is just another social media owned by rich people that controls everything

I was about to migrate my art stuff to bluesky because it seemed like a better platform than all the others which are full of AI garbage and hateful bigots. Should've known better that they'd turn out exactly the same as all the others.
