we can have a vibrant community of trans people or we can have Singal and his followers
maybe that’s not a choice you want to make as a platform, but if you don’t make it the trans people will make it for you by leaving

Blacksky is growing, but they will also note what Bluesky does about this
Polite wellspoken bigotry is still bigotry.
I don't hate tranphobes for who they are,
I don't want to be around them because of what they do.
He came on Bsky on a Friday and everyone is understandably a bit on edge because he's a danger to the community who has yet to be dealt with.
And if they don't, I think pressure is going to intensify FAST.
Singal and his followers came from twitter to bluesky to attack that "vibrant community of trans people." If trans people leave to go elsewhere singal and co won't stick around either because they won't have trans folks to abuse.
a vibrant group of individuals with various interests and perspectives
or a single grifter and his army of sycophants
seems like a difficult decision to me
If Jesse singal upsets you that much, you can just block him and move on.
I do see teeth and timing sprouting up here
Fuck Signal, get him the hell outta here
It’s an easy choice
It’s like a canary in a coal mine. If someone is mean to trans ppl it means they suck to be around for *everyone*. Trans people are just the first target they pick
Tolerating constant hate is how you get the ensh*ttification of a platform.

The lefty critique of Singal - as I understand it - is that he uses niceness and politeness to mask his secret sinister goals. Unrelated to that is the open vitriol that makes Xitter unusable.
Cis guys are no match for me, coolest person with a d.... who ever existed probably
People need comedy
what they dont need is people being dicks
I'm not going to put up with another platform doing this shit.
I’ve yet to see someone laud his character or willingness to engage with others in good faith. It’s all this meta commentary about this place not being a bubble.
Point two percent. Sure it makes a difference at the tiny center of all things #Bluesky. But anyone can start their own group of cool kids.
Look where that got us
Overlooking reality to uphold some perceived norm will not serve us well.
If the goal is a better society; we need first to be honest about the nature of our current one.
