“Dear Michael Kruse. Why don’t you go and fuck yourself in the ass with a running chainsaw? Yes, shove it all the way up your ass while it is running. That is the best thing you could possibly do to make the United States a better place.”

“Why is everyone so mean to me?!”
…”
Moderation is really hard to do at scale. I was involved in the moderation of a busy community (but nothing like the size of BlueSky) 20 years ago. We had exactly the same issue - sometimes a mod would make a mistake. That’s it.
1) You said a thing that you didn't attribute, in reference to an article, implying both that this was the point of the article, and also that you agreed with it.
2) The take was dumb, no matter who's it was. It looked like yours.
3) You got days of hate because there's:
a) tons of Twitter users here now that are trained to respond this way.
b) No algorithm to bury a bad take like on X, so people were still seeing it from a variety of feeds days later.
I can also (only) speculate why you got the bonk.
Now you've published an article explaining yourself, which could have worked, but you managed to play the victim card too, without learning *why* people were upset, or so it seems.
This isn't X. But it does have hangovers from there. Be very clear whenever you can be.
Your people have suffered more than victims of lynching
Bluesky is a lot like Phillie, in a way.
Hope this helps
Michael, your article basically told us to go back to something that was abusive and that made people mad.
Hope that helps.

But that chainsaw bit is probably pretty good advice.
Go for it.
Also to suggest you grow a pair, walk it off, and learn where the block function is.

Can you write a follow up piece and use the squirrel dick pic as an example?
To be clear, it’s a squirrel with a human dick.
Your point about leaving X because of toxicity only to create a new sort of toxicity is valid, and you should have focused more on that.
Are you really this confused or deliberately lying to make it like you're some sort of victim because that's the only way you can clout gather?
"Content moderation at scale is impossible to do well."
You were wrongly bounced; BlueSky mods said as much.
Reasoning from first principles, you conclude that
IT MUST ALL BE ABOUT YOU.
Continuing to dine out on that story is a choice.
