Outside of all the shit that’s wrong with him, what the fuck is with being pot committed to using that shitty Bojack Horseman screencap as his avatar forever?
A really bad look for Bluesky Moderation Service. I get it, everyone hates the guy. But these specific posts that were marked as Intolerance are nothing of the sort and it makes a mockery of the label to apply them in this way.
I know about the difficulty of moderating at scale because I too have that job, but I also know that every other platform would indicate an account-level warning by marking the whole account, not individual posts. It’s an odd design choice.
gin up like half of the common talking points that liberal media uses to rail against trans rights protection & triple down into alienating his friends after being told he was being intolerant.
Let's not forget engaging trans women in DMs and a pattern of deceptive behavior where he would triangulate and attempt to control the public narrative. Really sad and creepy.
wish i had the reply from three twitter accounts ago when we were fighting and i bashed him so hard for being a miserable lonely freak who never thought about anything but teen genitals that he stopped engaging altogether
I've only seen legitimate gender-critical views mentioned on his Wikipedia page and such; this whole situation looks like people are campaigning to deplatform such views.
What is the relevance of those other users, and why is one literally dedicated in name to the act of blocking a specific person?
There is no way to be legitimately critical of how another person relates to and defines their own self. That’s every human being’s right to explore and develop for themselves.
bluesky moderation service is so robust and well-made that i can span both of my vertically stacked screens with recent @jessesingal.com posts and not actually have to read any of them. this is what Elon's X fears: 2500 vertical pixels of screen real estate, unblemished by hate
Good timing, shortly after the NY Times substantiated all of the points prog Twitter loathed Singal for making two years ago. Hurrah for preregistering studies and then ignoring the protocol you committed to, eh, "Team Science"?
Fun fact: this doesn’t include all the people blocking him via blocklists. So anyone who subscribes to any transphobe or troll list that has him on it. (Two of mine were blocking him already.)
Some of the MAGA Propaganda Sponges and hateful purveyors of utter BS, believe that this is a good thing. One of my MAGA Stalkers vanished overnight. They did not even say bye. 😍😂
Following is endorsement and I will always see it as such. Many people feel this way. It increases their follower count and visually serves as an indication that someone’s content is worthwhile to you.
If you don’t want to endorse, you can make a list.
following is not necessarily endorsement but it does lend credibility and should be avoided at all costs. if you want to see what he's saying, put him on a list that says "dumbass transphobes" and use that as a custom fred
Someone was being really rude and bad faith in the replies and I'm pleased to report that the block feature works extremely well on here. I've already forgotten what they said and I couldn't look at it again if I wanted to. Have a great evening everyone.
Yeah I sometimes look at who they follow or are being followed by before I start blocking because some people seem to just want to be in on the information.
There is always a few misguided hate follows. Normally in my better judgment I go to block, but decided to let him know what everyone thinks of him on here.
Because the majority of the time it *is* that someone likes the person they're following, especially as there's other ways you can see what they're saying on Bluesky, like making a list of those folks specifically, which is arguably better for that purpose as you can keep their stuff separate.
The funniest thing is this is everything Elon *said* he was doing in terms of freedom of speech vs reach, but of course it will drive them all batshit insane with anger
I love listening to Jesse on the Blocked & Reported podcast, he’s great. His articles on trans issues are thoughtful, even-handed, and evidence-based, as are his conversations on the podcast.
Why even come to Bluesky when he already has a ready-made audience for his rabid transphobia over at X/Twitter? Its kind of like a Nazi attending a Bah Mitzvah and wondering why he immediately gets shown the door 😉.
I'd wager a toss up between him trying to swarm another site because the Right and their victim complex means they have to feel like they're being persecuted at all times
OR
treating bigotry like a righteous crusade is a requirement to keep followers compliant and generous with their money.
The second could also play into the first, if he's deliberately marketing the anti-Trans stuff to the MAGA crowd even if he'd be at odds with them on something else.
I'm not familiar enough with him to know or care if it's just an amoral salesman thing, but it also doesn't change anything if it is.
Because they want to dominate people, not platforms. They finally won and have taken Twitter for themselves, but they’re not even happy about it because we left. Their definition of success/happiness requires being above someone who they know is made miserable by it.
i've always been a fan of the old something awful forums hellban. there's no indication it happened, you can still post normally, but no one else sees your posts
Oof, he’s done a tremendous amount of harm by smearing trans people online and in print for years now. Just a real, massive asshole. Kind of people who quadruples down. You could search him on here and find a dozen articles about the harm he has done.
No we have to keep swatting these lying flies every time they show with. If you see a magat in Bluesky report them and block them and let everyone know so we can block them as well.
This is exactly what should be done to these people.
You humiliate them. You laugh at them. You never take their hateful ideas seriously.
You make them afraid to exist.
A lot of journalists follow some of these guys, sometimes it's just to see what they are saying/reporting reasons. The disinformation reporters follow Alex Jones, etc for professional reasons. Could be something similar with Weigel.
He's auto blocked for me fortunately. I have a trans son so not willing to listen to idiots that don't know what they are talking about and don't believe he has the right to be himself.
Comments
I say this bc ive only blocked roughly 20 scammers and nazis thus far
Do you think spam filters work by a human looking at every e-mail that has ever been sent.
It also fairly clearly indicates that the account is in fact marked with the same label, and likely why it is being applied.
that lives in my head as an act of defiance
It's some real HALT CITIZEN shit
Serves them right.
Celebrate intolerance
But all of us just blocking him into oblivion also works.

Got another Singal simp for ya.

If the previous post wasn’t enough proof, the one above should be.

I love Bluesky labelers lol
So is this.
a) The moderators have never been to a beach
b) The moderators have never seen a picture of Kim Kardashian
c) The moderators are frustrated 17th century nuns
d) The moderators are friggin idiots
e) All of the above
Bluesky’s response: Radio silence.
They can’t justify their decision so they just don’t reply.
I reported his posts, but then immediately blocked him so I had not idea.
Call it like it is!

They can just easily make a new account and use getting banned as fuel for spreading more hate.
This is infinitely more rage inducing, I think I would just give up after that 💀
didn't think they'd do anything, happy to be wrong
I don't know who this guy is nor do I wanna know who he is
