how did everyone jump from
‘block and don’t engage’
to
‘they allowed this one bad guy so bsky is WORSE than the sites with 10000 bad guys! it’s over guys, lets leave!! BUT FIRST lets share every thing Bad Guy does do to our audience who would have never seen them otherwise!’

Like it sucks but. what???
On the other side of this, it's equally as wrong to ignore bsky carving out exceptions and making accommodations for some of the worst people migrating here while banning marginalized folks for far much less and making piss-poor excuses for it.
but i also understand WHY people are upset. this obviously bad actor should be nuked from orbit BY STAFF, and that instead they are waffling around going "oh but there's nothing we can do!" feels crappy. Bleh.
I agree case by case moderation is the only effective moderation but it's weird that we're so much harsher on this team than even twitter
I blame no one for being pissed rest assured 🙏
I get the outrage at this guy, I really do. But it's just the irony of "Do not, under any circumstances, engage with these people! Block, report, move on! They thrive on our outrage!" to "BIG PUBLIC OUTRAGE CAMPAIGN" in like...a month.
and I guess people were thinking that they had that power now, to declare someone Excommunicae Bluesky
That said, it is perhaps a little concerning that this one is seemingly being protected
“just block them” is how you deal with 50 follower troll accounts not people that have swayed international opinion on your access to medication
I mean, in all of my Bluesky's journey I didn't find any troll posting a ragebait commentary in my timeline.
We have the tools of dealing with bad faith users.
I'm not justifying Bluesky's decision, I'm just saying that we need to be patient and wait for them to change their minds.
But yeah, "Report, block and move on" is the best advice 🙏
