Damn, if Bluesky T&S won’t do the bare minimum to make marginalized groups feel comfortable hangin’ around here, then what even is this site? Twitter with less users?

They're demons quite literally. They want to engage you on a certain wave length. Just delete and don't engage and they will move on. They need despair or discord to feed. Take what I am saying as metaphor for as long as you need for your mental health.
many disagree, and I don't see why we can't have both options. hell I'm in favor of a "public option" social media site where you can't get banned for anything unless it's illegal. but alternatives that restrict heavily can co-exist, no reason to require social media be one size fits all
Known harasser and transphobe Jesse Singal made an account here about a week ago, was reported and banned by the automod after posting a child's medical records without consent (amongst other things), and then unbanned. And staff hasn't said a word about any of it.
Those posts were part of the reason the auto-mod went off on him. They were reported by the community, as was his account, which resulted in the bot deleting them and flagging and banning his account.
I believe there's screenshots floating around, as that's how I even know of it in the first place. IIRC, the context involves an article of his about a young trans girl, and he posted private medical info here from that without the consent of her, her parents, or her doctor
Dude.
It has a staff, currently, of 20.
DEALING WITH 25 MILLION users.
They're growing, but they have limits. As long as we keep on them, they'll do what we need.
But ripping on them because of a lack of instant gratification ain't gonna do it.
It does, but there's a difference in tone from making valid points and passive-aggressive threats to bail out.
As far as i can tell, they're good people trying desperately to do things right, but with such a small staff (that I've heard will expand soon) it's hard to keep up.
They suspended him, then unsuspended him. The entire website is telling them to do one thing, and they are choosing not to do it. This has nothing to do with staff size.
tone policing in favor of the people refusing to remove notorious transphobe and pedophile enabler jesse singal
it's been almost a week and it's been total radio silence. why are you giving them the benefit of the doubt? they are telling you they do not give a shit. it's not the first time!
I think enshittification at least occurs because of trying to squeeze more money out of a functioning product. this isn't even a functional product yet, and they're not getting money. they're fucking up the one step before they get to do enshittification!
It's simple really. They want to "clean up and trade up".
The site was originally intended for Silicon Valley techfluencers and less bro-y crypto enthusiasts. Instead they got leftists, furries, and queer people.
But they still got enough people for the site to hit the viability threshold, so that during and after the election, when Xitter went mask-off, more "normal" people started moving over.
Now that they're getting more normies, journalists, and celebrities, they don't think they need us anymore, and in fact we now present a threat to their respectability.
Normies aren't gonna weep for queer artists getting wrongly banned for anime gifs, but rumors of a mass (bogus) CSAM problem? That's certainly gonna make the rounds.
every time rightoids are like YOUR JUST POSTING IN A LEFTIST ECHO CHAMBER I'm like yeah, so
if the site admins would spend some time rubbing the two or three communal brain cells they share together, they might realize that yeah, that's more or less what people want and it's that or twitter jr
So, 30 people complaining on a post, and nobody brought up @aaron.bsky.team @safety.bsky.app or @jay.bsky.team so they could at least have this in their mentions.
I agree that there are certain groups of people, that should not have a voice here. Jesse Singal, can fuck off back to xitter.
the fact it is now thursday and T&S has been radio silent on singal tells me everything i need to know about bsky's priorities, they want to be the next twitter, including all the toxicity, they just havent hit the user bandwith yet to completely 'justify' it
WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING IS STOP GIVING ME CRAP POLITICS AND GIVE ME ART IN MY FEED NO MATTER HOW MUCH I BLOCK POLITICS THEY STILL POP UP I USED TO JUST HAVE ART AND IT WAS THE BEST NOW IT SUCKS I HATE EVERYTHING I FUCKING FUCK RUCK RUCKDUDKF
It keeps giving me naked guys even though I turned on the nudity filter and click "less like this" on every single one. I'm starting to think bsky might not be very good.
If it wasn't clear, this post is about bad actors on the site who intend to or have harassed marginalized people. And your idea is to turn a blind eye? And tell the people who bother caring that they're neither rational nor sane?
Blocking is for annoying people. Deplatforming is for people that are coming here, and encouraging others to come here, just to harass the existing user base. Linking to prostasia from your profile, tells us exactly what you are.
Good grief. Stay or go. We are done with drama. You create your own experience. Everyday…. Everywhere
It’s either democracy or autocracy there is no middle ground.
Yes. I do in fact link to the child protection organization that I freely volunteer my time for. And I'm damn proud to actually be trying to do something to make the world a better place.
Exactly omg. If they complain too much I will lock them. Not going back. We are in This together. The resistance. Done with whiners I don’t care what side they are on
There You answered your own question. I don’t do quitters. I don’t do both sides. That’s a cop out. Pick a side….. or not. Democracy is at stake. Cheerio.
known harasser, transphobe, and all around scum jesse singal is here and despite using his audience to harass people the bluesky team has not banned him or said anything about why they are allowing him to be here
I don’t know why they won’t just casually yeet people. It’s not a death sentence. There’s no other competing asshole clubs that they should worry might steal their famous assholes…

This is impractical and unfeasible. Unless you're planning to IP Range ban, and even then it's unfeasible.
As long as you're deeply broken inside. Which I am. So it remains the only good social media, from my perspective.

He's a dick and needs to go, no argument.
Grace and peace.
I don't even know how they're that dumb.

It's all about the metrics while you're searching for investors.

I get on a maga thread. All done….
YOU are responsible for catering what/who you want to see on your feed. That's not the website's responsibility.
It’s either democracy or autocracy there is no middle ground.
Both sides are terrible, terrible, terrible and need to cease existing so that ACTUAL progressivism can take power
