Reposted from Alejandra Caraballo

This should be grounds for account suspension. Jesse has explicitly white knighted for kiwi farms. These are exactly the kinds of people he associates with.

His presence on this site inherently makes it unsafe for trans people.

Really important for the Bluesky team to understand that the guy isn't a journalist, he's a bigot for hire who couches the same hysterical nazi rhetoric that usually gets auto-moderated into more polite hate that manages to just barely skirt around screaming slurs and demanding genitals inspections.

thembo.bsky.social•146 days ago

He is nothing but an auto-translate button to turn the stream of death threats, noose wojaks, and slurs from the worst people on twitter into tedious articles that can be passed off to oblivious people as ~academia~. Allowing him in a space offers him a legitimacy he doesn't deserve.

shoggothmom.bsky.social•146 days ago

You're giving him too much credit.
The automods banned him twice before.

bento-bongos.bsky.social•146 days ago

This is why it's crucial he gets a permanent IP ban, considering ban-dodging is going to be a problem in this site's future.

So that way he is unable to find a way back in.

avanillagarden.bsky.social•145 days ago

if a public person makes a new account after a ban they'd either have to use the same name again which will (should) get them banned again for obvious ban evasion, or they stay undercover and just don't have a platform anymore. dunno if an IP ban really matters, that's relatively easy to circumvent

bento-bongos.bsky.social•145 days ago

Which is largely the problem.

IP bans make it so that it's harder to get away with ban evasion.

As social media has taught us, it's even harder to get rid of bad acting ban dodgers if they have someone from the inside.

kidchemicalx.com•145 days ago

They know.

bravehumans.bsky.social•145 days ago

I wish we could get rid of everyone we didn't like but we can't. I know it sucks! We have to be content with blocking them to protect oneself from the content. The website will abide by their preferences. Just move on. No point agonizing over what's outside of our control.

nalyd620.bsky.social•145 days ago

Exactly, this platform is built different than Twitter. The algorithm is determined by you. So if we block him (and yes, report him) he's not going to end up on a lot of feeds. At least, not the places he would have regularly felt comfortable on Twitter. He will learn quickly this app is different.

dragonlordfreya.bsky.social•145 days ago

Y'all are claiming to be allies so maybe listen to the trans people telling you that he's making this play UNSAFE for us. Even people that have pre-blocked him have gotten brigaded by harassment.

nalyd620.bsky.social•145 days ago

You know when I try to search him now his name doesn’t come up. Not sure if it’s because I blocked him or he was removed by Bluesky.

lethaljorts.bsky.social•145 days ago

Speed running every bad decision twitter made over 15 years seemed like a good idea at the time

qirtaiba.bsky.social•146 days ago

I had been on the fence, because the abuse I saw on the platform since Singal joined mainly came from the other side (way too much harassment and pedojacketing), but this is a bridge too far from him. It’s never OK to have anything to do with Kiwifarms.

runawaycornpop.bsky.social•146 days ago

Did you not think perhaps there was a reason people were reacting that way?

qirtaiba.bsky.social•146 days ago

I know the reason but that is no excuse for using Kiwifarms tactics here, such as pedojacketing and doxxing. One of the anti-Singal crowd that I won’t name bullied a queer person into hospital. Good riddance to people like that along with Singal.

runawaycornpop.bsky.social•146 days ago

I'm sorry you've lost me here. Who exactly was getting harassed and doxxed, put in a hospital? Is this queer people defending Singal for unknown reasons? I literally have no idea what you're talking about

As far as "pedojacketing", pedophile apologetics is a thing Singal did. Multiple times

qirtaiba.bsky.social•146 days ago

The quoted tweet explains more. And I am suspicious of anyone who uses the term "pedophile apologetics" to include reporting the work of CSA prevention researchers. It's OK to block people who discuss the topic. It's not OK to abuse them or to accuse them of condoning CSA. https://bsky.app/profile/jere.my/post/3lcwiqfo3y222

runawaycornpop.bsky.social•146 days ago

Okay you're mixing and matching a bunch of stuff that has nothing to do with Singal joining the site, yeah?

renezuo.bsky.social•146 days ago

Seeing this I am even more convinced of my theory that this man has laid a trap card and is attempting to provoke a ban.

This shits-smear definitely has something up his sleeve he's waiting to spring the *moment* he catches a ban and I think someone on the back end smells it too.

renezuo.bsky.social•146 days ago

Considering how litigious of a history he has, I imagine that it's some sort of legal action he's got prepped to jam Bluesky up something fierce while he dances around smugly with the other little goblins.

The only thing better than "trolling" people here is getting it all shut down or bankrupt.

renezuo.bsky.social•146 days ago

Imagine then the amount of smarm and self-satisfaction if he were to do so. The wicked glee of all his little followers as they snicker and sneer about killing the platform people fled to in order to escape them.

Fuck me, I hope I'm wrong. UGHH

clementinedanger.bsky.social•145 days ago

Can I ask, because I see this a lot, how that would work? I ask because on Twitter it was always "it's a private company they can ban and keep whoever they want" and here it's "if they do something there might be legal trouble."

Is a judge really going to entertain drama about a social media ban?

renezuo.bsky.social•145 days ago

This is more a feeling than anything really logical. I couldn't explain how he'd go about it beyond me just having this feeling that a trap has been baited.

I genuinely hope I'm just flat out wrong.

esqueer.net•146 days ago

Promissory estoppel. He explicitly wanted assurances from the team about his account. There's a case a user won against Twitter to reinstate his account after spreading covid conspiracy theories because the team at Twitter personally assured him before hand he'd be fine.

renezuo.bsky.social•146 days ago

He's done a lot of the "I'm allowed to be here riiiiight? Just tell me if I'm not. I just want clarity!" Crap and it just smells like bait.

But this case you linked is bananas lol

So as long as nobody’s dumb enough to promise him special treatment, there’s no problem?

karlrolson.com•146 days ago

We're talking the Bluesky admins. They probably notorized & wax-sealed the promise.

renezuo.bsky.social•146 days ago

I don't know enough about them to say either way.

xdresstera.bsky.social•146 days ago

Oh for sure. So many of them have bios or first posts about trying to get banned or daring to get banned because it proves their point. I don't think he actually has anything waiting just he'll try to reach out and such and frame it as him being perfectly reasonable and those evil biased mods at

xdresstera.bsky.social•146 days ago

Bluesky can't bear to have the safe space breached and so are silencing anyone with "wrongthink" or whatever the fuck they say

anontanuki.meangirls.online•146 days ago

thank u so much, june. this legitimately means the world.
i think it might be too late for the platform to regain trust for a lot of us
and i don't think they're going to try
but i appreciate you doing this so much

lady8jane.bsky.social•144 days ago

Do they not understand that this is inciting harassment? Like he is literally asking his many followers to harass someone.

goblin.cool•145 days ago

if they refuse to ban him and allow @aaron.bsky.team to continually unban him, they should at least allow people to have private profiles so they can self moderate and protect themselves accordingly. it would be better not to allow fash bigots on the platform but thats clearly too much to hope for

brucewilson.bsky.social•145 days ago

His unethical journalism has touched off a national moral panic plus anti-trans legislation and persecution that's causing people to flee, with their families, for their lives.

tokyosexgreg.bsky.social•145 days ago

Absolutely ridiculous.

rumpfillstillskin.bsky.social•145 days ago

warmwestwind.bsky.social•145 days ago

On one of my blocklists. Deprived of the joy of seeing his depravity.

satanic.software•146 days ago

keviepu.bsky.social•145 days ago

Y’all don’t like kiwi farms? You mean to tell me that a Wikipedia like apparatus for detailing the lives of mostly unstable and borderline people through stalking and harassment is a bad thing?

thesadpanda.bsky.social•146 days ago

why is he so desperate to be on this particular platform? i am actually asking.

aiddonvalentine.bsky.social•146 days ago

Because all the people he wanted to harass are here and because he's starved for conflict he's trying to set up shop here. Hence why realizing what the nuclear block is has set him deeper into spiralling

thesadpanda.bsky.social•146 days ago

ah, that particular kind of cretin. thank you for explaining. was genuinely confused why he wasn't satisfied with twitter or wherever he nests

aiddonvalentine.bsky.social•146 days ago

Yeah, you have to understand he doesn't think of himself as that kind of TERF, he believes he's a normie liberal and everyone accepting of trans people is an unreasonable extremist. Hence why his follower count over here is so low

celialicious.bsky.social•146 days ago

Can we get someone or multiple people in Seattle to show up at Bluesky headquarters and just ask them to do it in person? The silent treatment is clear and obvious here.

asciim0v.bsky.social•144 days ago

they're here in Seattle? Didn't know that. Interesting information.

rcmcdovetail.bsky.social•145 days ago

@jay.bsky.team this special treatment has gone far enough now. Of all the users to stan for, in the world we are living in? Something is starting to smell off here.

atomicbutnuster.bsky.social•145 days ago

@jay.bsky.team The only two reasons Bluesky became so popular were marginalized groups pushing the platform and the migration of said groups from X because of how freely it became a haven for freaks and bigots. Allow the latter to happen here and the former will follow suit immediately. Your choice.

macabrebarbie413.bsky.social•145 days ago

dragonlordfreya.bsky.social•146 days ago

darksidestraxus.bsky.social•146 days ago

Why do I get the feeling that they’re just going to continue ignoring this before putting out a bullshit PR statement that’s something along the lines of “While we don’t support this person’s views, we also don’t believe in banning folks over a difference of opinion.”?

yuzu-adagio.vtuber.house•145 days ago

I have no idea what a kiwi farmer is and I can tell I don't want to find out.

sophygurl.bsky.social•145 days ago

I honestly recommend not even typing the name out. That's how bad they are.

kawotter.bsky.social•145 days ago

It's a neo-Nazi forum dedicated to doxxing, stalking and harassing people they don't like.

autisticgecko.bsky.social•145 days ago

This is why I said these people should not just be blocked they should be reported. I really hope Bluesky does the right thing.

sidewaysview.bsky.social•145 days ago

Yes if BlueSky don't act to protect people they are on the wrong foot. We are paying attention.

backlitkeyboard.bsky.social•145 days ago

I read it’s a trap that if he gets banned Elon will bankroll a lawsuit against his platform to close it.

You don’t become more informed by allowing fash to speak, and you don’t become a better gourmand by eating poop.

literally promoting an org with 6 kills, that SWATs US representatives, and is a designated terrorist organization in multiple countries

That's who Aaron is continuing to go to bat for.

spiderdork.bsky.social•145 days ago

going to bat would imply he at least had the guts to say fucking anything instead of quietly putting his thumb on the scale for Singal over and over while keeping his own mouth zipped

junlper.beer•146 days ago

i love this platform so much even more the more i use it and it’s going to be very disappointing if they don’t prioritize safety of the users who make this place what it is to let intentional grifters and bad faith actors use this place

magicpaper.bsky.social•146 days ago

I get he should be banned, and I agree he should be banned, but he's not really a threat to anyone with how good Bluesky's block feature is. Like sure he's a dickhead and annoying but he's not that huge of a threat here.

ashmouth.bsky.social•146 days ago

given that his MO is directing mass harassment at his targets & he has already evaded blocks to single out people on this very website, this is flatly incorrect. please listen to the people impacted by him before offering your opinions on what threat he does or does not pose.

magicpaper.bsky.social•146 days ago

Yes I was informed already by someone who was not willing to be civil. I have admitted my mistake already, but blocking the main contributor is still a temporary solution until something further is done.

ashmouth.bsky.social•146 days ago

it's not a solution, temporary or otherwise, given that he has already evaded blocks on multiple occasions on this website alone.

magicpaper.bsky.social•146 days ago

I mean, that's fair, but it's a start at trying. I still agree that he needs to be removed permanently through some method or another but it's still worth it to try blocking him out regardless until then imo.

xdresstera.bsky.social•146 days ago

I think too many people slept on it. If it became the place to be when it was still invite only, they may have mostly given up long ago but once it was public sign up, and it got popular, they just infected it with no trouble. I loved this platform too but I had no pull to keep posters here

russsssssso.bsky.social•145 days ago

For real, get rid of that scum

lucy.kotsu.red•146 days ago

Ok, so I go on his page, and the first post I see is him saying “complexity is your enemy”.

Says a lot more about him than I think he intended.

penndragyn37.bsky.social•146 days ago

Maybe he's thinking they won't see him as one because he's not complex at all. He's one of the most obvious bigots I've ever had the displeasure of learning about.

debbshock.com•146 days ago

🎯

hyperentity.bsky.social•145 days ago

it really sucks, because I really like using this website, but I feel like they're attitude is "we've got the normies here now, so we don't need the queers who built it up, anymore."

or an even more hostile, "get out of here, freaks, the money people are here now and you're making them nervous."

commanderogerss.bsky.social•145 days ago

That happens to way too many platforms. Tumblr is experiencing this. Nuking a lot of queer folks (especially trans folks) for posting the most mundane stuff, but yet they never get rid of the terfs, nazis, and general sucky people from the platform.

northwind.bsky.social•144 days ago

I feel like the issue goes even beyond that.

BlueSky are, quite literally, establishing a precedent that block evasion is a-ok.

They’ll now either have to uphold that precedent for everyone (which is deadly for a site with no private accounts) or uphold it selectively (which…won’t go well, period)

hyperentity.bsky.social•144 days ago

I think either of those options is a mess.

They have to take action now, or this site isn't going to survive.

They grew too fast, and are now attracting the wrong people (assholes and rich investors).

firengames.com•146 days ago

It's infuriating seeing them sit on their hands on what should be a no brainier decision to prevent this place from hitting the same fate as the other one.

mbrzz.bsky.social•145 days ago

did not realize it took 9 days, even worse good lord

xdresstera.bsky.social•146 days ago

I've seen some say he knows someone on the team and my guess is because he's a "journalist", they're giving him leeway under that pretense

mbrzz.bsky.social•146 days ago

yes, he and aaron rodericks have a mutual connection and rodericks is shielding him. from what i know rodericks is part of the old twitter t&s team, the same team which allowed many transphobes and genuine nazis through (prior to ketamine jones’ acquisition).

jib-jibberson.bsky.social•146 days ago

savluvx.bsky.social•146 days ago

So, yeah. Fuck this shit, then, I guess

mbrzz.bsky.social•146 days ago

i might be being naive but i think if we continue to make a stink about this (as we MUST) they have to do something. imho aaron’s gotta go and they need trans people on the t&s team BAD, trans friends made the site. but im a cis white guy, i cannot fathom how this makes those affected feel.

mbrzz.bsky.social•146 days ago

itd be such a strange hill for them to die on if they go this way. literally makes no sense especially when you’re trying to be a sane twitter equivalent. the connection between the teo could be heresay im not 100% on it but at this point its all but confirmed

shywoof.bsky.social•146 days ago

Sounds like it's time to let aaron go then.

mbrzz.bsky.social•146 days ago

i coult be spreading bullshit regarding that so if someone knows more accurately PLEASE correct me. i do know he 100% was an old twitter t&s guy

plutopotam.us•146 days ago

I see a few concerning things on Bluesky. Foremost being the point you mentioned.

Secondly, they seem to not care to put anything in the ToS to discourage abuse of the ‘Fire Hose’.

Thirdly, I just made a post about Bluesky looking to hire an “Feed Algorithmics Engineer”, which seems antithetical.

bento-bongos.bsky.social•146 days ago

We have seen what an algorithm did for Twitter. Ghoulish Trolls already have weaponized it. A billionaire gutted the moderation staff by 80%, effectively turning it into their personal playground.

Bad Faith Trolls NEED us to survive, we don't need them.

plutopotam.us•146 days ago

nalyd620.bsky.social•145 days ago

He's definitely on several block lists. I had no idea who he was so I had to look him up, then I quickly blocked him.

undeadlobster.bsky.social•146 days ago

Sure but also there’s a huge bug in the software if anyone can just write a script that mutes accounts with an input overflow

That’s not good

the8bitidiot.bsky.social•145 days ago

Never interacted. Hmm

heddveeg.bsky.social•146 days ago

At this point it's obvious that the admins don't care. They'd rather make their platform like Twitter by pandering to bigots, because that's going so well over there. Singal would be permabanned a week ago if the admins actually wanted to rid Bluesky of hate content.

hardcasual.bsky.social•146 days ago

It's pretty outrageous they build their whole brand on not letting these people in and now are dying on the hill of letting him in

Bluesky moderation has an obvious choice of basic human decency or to shit over the marginalized communities that fucking built this place at which point it'll lose the only meaningful differentiation it has from Twitter and lose any reason for existence.

indighost77.neocities.org•146 days ago

@jay.bsky.team please listen to us, cis and trans people alike. why the hell is your trust and safety team giving Singal so much fucking leeway just because "hE's a JoUrNaLiSt"? why the hell is your head of T&S coddling him so badly? fire Aaron, ban Singal.

thelittlepakeha.net•146 days ago

It's more likely to be Jay herself than Aaron. Aaron has a great track record but before he was hired this sort of ignoring the users, refusing to set or follow policy, etc was pretty standard. Everyone blaming Aaron is probably what they want.

indighost77.neocities.org•146 days ago

@jay.bsky.team and the longer your T&S team remains silent on this matter, the more frustrating it gets. you are literally driving your userbase away, especially the trans people who were the backbone of your site in its infancy. you're forcing people who volunteered to moderate to leave

indighost77.neocities.org•146 days ago

@jay.bsky.team all because your T&S team won't fucking permanently suspend ONE GUY. LITERALLY just ONE transphobic pedophile. that's literally ALL your trust and safety needs to do to gain back our TRUST in them and make us all feel SAFE. do you get it???

indighost77.neocities.org•146 days ago

@jay.bsky.team the fence-sitting your T&S team is doing is not doing any of us any favors. we don't have many other places to go to, but if you remain silent on this and do nothing about Singal, people WILL leave.

do the right thing. suspend Jesse Singal, or risk losing your userbase for good.

indighost77.neocities.org•146 days ago

@jay.bsky.team this place is genuinely nice, the blocking works wonders, but suspending people for repeat infractions of your terms of service is ALSO important for growth. your team's inability to suspend just ONE man will stunt this growth. please consider this fact.

indighost77.neocities.org•146 days ago

@jay.bsky.team letting transphobia, pedophilia and intolerance slip through the cracks all because the so-called "journalists" are doing it is what made twitter the hellhole that it is today. none of us want that. please. listen to us.

krang.bsky.social•146 days ago

why is he so dedicated to being on bluesky at all? the platform seems very hostile to his presence, hard to understand why he cares this much

j3zz-g.bsky.social•146 days ago

Totally about making a point that people like him can intrude into every space that trans & nbpeople deem safe & turn it unsafe. To show that authorities, whether private or official, will always back down to people like him & instead abandon the trans & nb community.

cdollarsign.bsky.social•146 days ago

He gets off on harassing people and playing the victim.

he wants to get banned without directly violating the ToS in order to create a pretext to get Bsky into political/legal trouble and contribute to the "liberal echo chamber!" argument

trashturkey.bsky.social•145 days ago

Doesn't every ToS have "we can ban you for any reason we feel like, no matter how arbitrary" as boilerplate?

papapishu.bsky.social•146 days ago

What legal trouble is he going to get them into it’s their website and he’s being annoying

bosh.worstpossible.world•146 days ago

he doesn’t have to have an actual legal case to file spurious lawsuits and get the right wing all heated up

megaspel.bsky.social•146 days ago

Who cares, they're already jacked up and jacked off.

papapishu.bsky.social•146 days ago

By that logic both the lawsuits and “getting the right wing all heated up” are both inevitable so why not just do it now

bosh.worstpossible.world•146 days ago

you’ve seen my posts the past week or so; i’m certainly not advocating for keeping the guy around and it’s beyond baffling to me that bluesky mods are treating this as any sort of a dilemma

noahs.bsky.social•146 days ago

But he has already violated the ToS! Several times!

mtsw.bsky.social•146 days ago

what did he do that was an explicit ToS violation? genuinely asking since i blocked him and cant see any of his stupid posts

mtsw.bsky.social•146 days ago

ive seen people claim that taking screenshots of people's posts and reposting them on his X account in order to direct harassment at them are a ToS violation but I don't know if that's actually true?

voter.bsky.social•145 days ago

Posting screenshots of people *who have blocked him* is a clear and overt subversion of the block function.

schroedinger.bsky.social•146 days ago

Looking at it and they've written this pretty broadly. https://bsky.social/about/support/community-guidelines

roxconn.bsky.social•146 days ago

He keeps screenshotting people he shouldn’t be able to because they have him blocked and then posting those screenshots both here and on Twitter

jonfr500.bsky.social•145 days ago

The he must have a second account that is not blocked. If that account can be found I do not know.

eternalcatwar.bsky.social•146 days ago

Block evasion

krang.bsky.social•146 days ago

wasn't he like a journalist or something at some point? I don't really keep up with his whole deal but seems like times are rough for him if that's what he's working on

esghound.com•146 days ago

he's very busy collecting medical records of minors shared to him by Qpilled nurses who love breaking HIPAA

unitedshoes.bsky.social•146 days ago

I think "like a journalist" is an accurate, if extremely generous description of him. That's like saying a monkey is *like* a homo sapiens: there's a common ancestor between Jesse and journalists, but it's waaaaaaaaaay in the distant past.

anbo-jyutsu.bsky.social•146 days ago

He was on the "normalize pedophilia" beat before he started getting more attention with his "demonize trans health care" stories. He's always just been the most presentable face of the Kiwi Farms freaks, it's not like this is some sort of descent for him.

mfelps.bsky.social•146 days ago

All his engagement is based on people hating him.

hatkidsays.bsky.social•146 days ago

Because he's a troll. His whole life is geared around engineering outrage because he's a hollow, gray little worm

innerpartisan.bsky.social•146 days ago

deboerism, it is called.

captain-bleuten.bsky.social•146 days ago

Because he needs antagonising people to exist

golmia.bsky.social•146 days ago

He's driven by hate, so not exactly acting on rational impulses. He wants to make things miserable for trans folks wherever they may be, and especially a space where they are a cornerstone, b/c to rip that away from them is to prove he has power over them; something bigots desire over their targets.

simonee.bsky.social•146 days ago

all of the bigger systemic reasons other people have replied, but also that he wants to hurt trans people and there's a lot of trans people here

nurvuss.bsky.social•146 days ago

To antagonise people

haere.bsky.social•146 days ago

he seems like one of those guys who thrives on forcing himself into situations and hurting people. a human turd-in-punchbowl type

palecentaur.bsky.social•146 days ago

He just wants to stir shit up and cause trouble. Because that's all these kinds of people ever want: to make anyone they ideologically disagree with miserable.

zython.bsky.social•146 days ago

He wants to take it away from trans people.

travanoid.bsky.social•146 days ago

He's a stupid, lonely, miserable piece of shit and the only speck of joy in his empty, hollow life is when he gets to be a "victim".

irregularnevrean.bsky.social•145 days ago

He can not live without us and we can without him.

codeine93.bsky.social•145 days ago

They’re only happy when they’re actively making someone else unhappy.

chowell2000.bsky.social•145 days ago

He wants to think of himself as on the left but being the only one who is asking tough questions - so he hates that we don’t like him even more than he hates trans people

erobin.bsky.social•145 days ago

I think it's a test of tolerance so that they and others can use that tolerance against people later. That's why it's important to suspend the account now.

mattbasky.bsky.social•146 days ago

can’t let the filthy queers have any fun

rincewind.run•146 days ago

I mean I think it’s pretty clear he explicitly wants to destroy this place one way or the other, I’m guessing he’ll be delighted to testify to the new FCC chair why his ban is a reason to shut down Bluesky

peterkmurphy.bsky.social•146 days ago

My apologies for a somewhat 'dumb' question, but under what law or laws could Bluesky be shut down?

bento-bongos.bsky.social•146 days ago

These ghouls are all "freedom for me, not for thee", and are too used to having twitter being a social media monopoly. They see this site's very existence as a threat to their twisted, hateful version of "Muh Freezing Peach" since it's a platform with a functioning block button.

bumblefudge.com•146 days ago

Court of public opinion/kangaroo court. Its a heady, madeup mix of section 230, equal time, and a bunch of other stuff that goes over the TV news viewers head, frankensteined in bad faith. the details are not all that important, really.

bumblefudge.com•146 days ago

and "shut down" isn't the worst they can do... launching into the mindspace a narrative that influences people not to sign up is probably worse than forcing, e.g., a move to another jurisdiction.

peterkmurphy.bsky.social•146 days ago

Most users and potential users of Bluesky aren't American, so how effective this narrative would be sounds doubtful.

Bluesky is the social network like X, except it's not benighted by Elon Musk. That's the narrative people like.

spiderdork.bsky.social•145 days ago

some people have been pushing this theory as to why the team is so gunshy with him and I don’t buy it bc they literally just banned Libs of Tiktok before he showed up, and the same FCC Chair will happily use THAT as a reason to accuse the platform of whatever bullshit charge

spiderdork.bsky.social•145 days ago

part of why this has been so aggravating is bc they just demonstrated they can do the obvious right thing! except now they are just…not???

kitmik.bsky.social•145 days ago

yeah, i think perhaps bluesky are waiting until he says something actually horrific WITHOUT dressing it up into 'acceptable' academic language. maybe we should bait him into saying a slur so he can be effectively banned for hate speech.

kitmik.bsky.social•145 days ago

we need him to say something that is 100%, without a doubt and wiggle room, against the terms of service on here

davidbrentwood.bsky.social•145 days ago

The FCC has no such authority. They do not regulate social media sites.

estrusflask.bsky.social•146 days ago

He just hates us that much. We're here so he wants to be here.

eternalcatwar.bsky.social•146 days ago

I like the idea of black holing anything he posts with the app-crashing name reply guy

orcanizer.bsky.social•146 days ago

my guess is that he is collecting think tank money to either hijack the platform (spearheading for reactionary grifters and their followers) or, failing that, discredit and smear it

sawtoothch.bsky.social•146 days ago

This might help: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/masochism

ryanfrommyspace.bsky.social•146 days ago

The only thing I can think of is he wants a lawsuit.

duffsovietunion.bsky.social•145 days ago

His dad is a lawyer (who also pays street kids $40 for sex).

karlrolson.com•146 days ago

At this point, if they can't take the lead on moderation and listen to the their users, said userbase is going to zero day them until they do. This is such a colossal, embarrassing failure to act on their part that they're now getting unsolicited, free QA & T&S:

comradecorvus.bsky.social•145 days ago

@jay.bsky.team it's your move. You can take a stand for the minority groups that fled to this app to make it what it is today, or you can abandon them and watch everything you've built crumble to dust.

I pray you make the right choice.

ronnpiano.bsky.social•146 days ago

You can communicate with them, they will take that into consideration however I would provide documentation to accompany your accusations else it is conjecture.

psychicteeth.bsky.social•146 days ago

Plenty of people have sent receipts

I genuinely wonder if truly just can't see the grift here.

"My good FRIEND *wink wink* Vlad the Impaler *wink nudge* (controversial man but excellent foreign policy) has graciously offered to help me sort my head collection that I keep for normal reasons. What a guy! Big ups to Vlad the Impaler!"

veselekov.bsky.social•146 days ago

Kiwi Farms should be considered the same as someone posting links to Storm Front.

junlper.beer•146 days ago

yup!

autisticobelisk.bsky.social•146 days ago

I say mass report this guy.

psychicteeth.bsky.social•146 days ago

People have been doing this for days

miss-will-o-witch.bsky.social•146 days ago

Report that specific post.

The farm he mentions is a transphobic dog whistle to a hate forum that targets trans people.

He mentioned them specifically to set of trans people. That's hate speech. 😡

meganox.bsky.social•146 days ago

he is flaunting bsky's weakness in front of them and they're sitting there taking it

they might as well just hand the admin passwords over to kiwi farms

bunny-guts.bsky.social•145 days ago

@jay.bsky.team I do not feel safe on here with people like him around, defeats the whole point of this being an alternative to X, I will be deleting my account and leaving soon if he is not banned
