We moderate it for them by reporting them! They read the post. Then ban the account! The way Hate and Lies need to be treated! No hate no blatant lies you get to participate!
By the way, do not flatter yourself too much. The whole so-called idyll can end at one fine moment with the words 'And then Graber sold it' (as an option).
Twitter’s algorithm was deliberately broken. Nothing is really moderated, things are just throttled to the top so that very few things breakthrough that you aren’t intended to see.
And are they allowed to work remote? Unlike musk making people come in even during a pandemic.. but we found out a lot can work so smooth with remote working.. I work for a health insurance company creating authorizations for 4 years + now. It is lovely. My productivity went UP.
The irony being that he fired a bunch of people because he thought they had too many people... but somehow Twitter needed those people because damn that place is a cesspool now.
I am not sure we have seen the amount of hate that is generated on twitter. Once it starts, we'll see how well they moderate it.
I'm looking at you Pro Hamas people.
Question… I know during the first few months when twitter was purchased, many employees came out in public and shared what was going on behind closed doors. Have we heard from any current employees if the culture is still as bad?
My guess is, that the remaining employees are hanging onto their jobs for dear life or their visas, more likely. So there will be very little criticism unless they've got another gig lined up.
Just read recently that they hired 75 new people to help the 25 that were moderating posts. I think the 20 we've read about are people who deal with the infrastructure.
they’re doing a great job, now if only its users can choose to have productive conversations instead of mindlessly blocking respectful differing opinions
this platform being a bubble is counterproductive. these liberals on here are incredibly defensive, they abuse the block button instead of having productive engaging conversations. i left 𝕏 primarily cause of the decline in quality it was to be a creator on there
The site is designed so that's impossible. If Bluesky is taken over by some kind of Elon, it's possible to take your entire subscriber base with you apparently.
The question is don’t we occasionally get to laugh if a MAGA idiot rails against you being a woke liberal, and they’re never going to watch your movies again? That was fun watching how many people failed to get past the dead giveaway, right there for all to see, your name😂😂😂😂
The whole community blocklist thing is doing most of the heavy lifting, yeah a couple of pricks are doing fake blocklists and starter packs that drop you into a hellscape of supremacist crypto, BUT it's mostly great otherwise
Because unlike the OTHER site, the staff for Bluesky actually wants to keep this place a marketplace for ideas instead of a haven for bigots and hateful rhetoric.
Elon stopped trying to moderate when he decided to flood Twitter with MAGAs, Nazis, and assorted white supremacists. He might be meeting federal regulations, but that's not obvious.
I dunno who's doing it, but I was gonna go by the stated plan of just blocking them ourselves instead of an admin doing it-I never block, so this would be new. So far, I've gotten a few quick rebuttals, no trolling, so maybe there aren't many of them..? Twitter is a safe space for them, after all...
HERE’s WHY: Go to settings: Moderation; make your content choices. At the bottom there are two filters: 1) blocks TOS violators. 2) is an anti-MAGA & LGBTQ+ hate speech troll-be-gone filter. Click on it, click subscribe, click block all. When we report violators to either/both it updates the lists.
When everyone blocks, the trolls end up yelling at each other on an island. It's not that hard to do, but Twitter decided not to because it needed the numbers to sell ads.
Some... Towards others, I've seen some pretty racist sh*t directed at people of color. Full on posts of nothing but the N word. Those posts are still there and so are the people that posted it, deposte it being reported by multiple users.
And they’re hiring a bunch more to handle the growth. You know, instead of just saying fuck it and letting it turn into a dumpster fire like the other place.
Because twitter is insanely inefficient. A dumbass like leon thinks that cracking the whip will somehow be productive instead of LISTENING TO THE SCIENTISTS. Who have proven COUNTLESSLY that happy employees are productive employees. More pay, better benefits, better work conditions.
It’s because they care. They care about this platform and the work and money invested into it. They had to work for this, so they’re going to take care of it.
They ARE expanding their moderation team! I’m relieved because those 20 team members are definitely overworked and it’s our fault. If they accepted donations even at $1 per user annually we could keep Bluesky nonprofit and public and basically free to all. I don’t want them to have to ever sell.
I actually messaged them about an issue. It took a week but an actual person messaged me back with my resolution. It must be 20 very hard working people.
Understandable concern!
The agenda as laid out is cruel. My brother and I have discussed the fact that incompetence & grift may undermine their efficiency to accomplish much of it. Whatever they do accomplish will be punitive. 🤞🏼 they don’t get very far. 2026 will be key to building a firewall.

I'm looking at you Pro Hamas people.
BTW, need to cut your pay in half
So it happens.
I have a theory that we might still be enjoying the honey moon phase, because certain someone's didn't join Bluesky yet in full force.
All garbage is removed immediately by a cast member. And that makes people much less inclined to litter.
Same applies to MAGA garbage.
Elon or someone similar could easily make 20 people into multi-multi millionaires without even putting a dent in his checkbook.
How can the 20 resist?
2. Take your base with you … where? You mean a printout of a bunch of BlueSky user names? How does that help when Elon owns the platform?
Other than that, the mods and patrons are bots. And/or getting something specific that they don't get anywhere else.
I've never been threatened physically, emotionally or sexually quite like what takes place on Twitter. I hope they are all very happy together.
It's a team effort of 25 million strong.
If only we could become a source for lobbying. 🤔
...or can we...?
@jay.bsky.team, could Bluesky become non-profit? Enquiring minds want to know! 😅
So I´m back here too.
Nice seeing you again back here ;-)
Wow!
And by refusing to engage with trollbots.
