Bluesky’s incredible growth up until now can be pretty directly attributed to people fleeing here to avoid the exact kind of virulently toxic social media behavior Singal and his ilk represent
and I think it’d be a pretty shockingly stupid own-goal for Bluesky to start chucking that aside now

I do think following should require consent. That and blocking are enough safety.
VCs don't care who they hurt or how badly they hurt them as long as they get their 8-10 X's the investment back in 3-5 years.
It is

The eXes have left.
The 0hs have stayed.
Fine existing without Bluesky as well if the chose to go the same route
Users: leaving behind a following on a toxic social media site was the first trick I learned *becomes a caked up dr Manhattan*
If this app starts giving off even 2016 Twitter vibes, to say nothing of 2024 Twitter vibes, I’m out
They are badly failing the first real test of someone trying to leverage large-scale abuse in a way that isn’t overtly hostile (at least to those who don’t know JS).
But obviously I could very easily be wrong and I truly hope I am.
Wonder how much of it is execs not giving a shit about trans people and how much is manipulation from the bad actor
Whatever weird mid 00s silicon valley libertarian visionary shit of making a thing for everyone everywhere needs to go.
You've either got the cool app or the toxic waste dump.
This is what we need to stop.
We don’t want this place to become what Twitter is now. Banning him is part of ensuring that
I won’t let my timeline fill with awful comments.
You're just an asshole. I wish you a very pleasant home invasion and a humbling New Year.

I will seriously consider leaving if things get much worse, but for now I just want Jesse Singal gone.

i hope he likes living in a post-lawrence v. texas reversal world.
No inside info. Just a hunch.
But like he's really good at NOT blatantly violating the ToS. That's what they DO.
And the ToS isn't some clear contract between Bsky and a user.
There's 20 Bsky employee and some of them have to WANT him to be here
im not sure what is happening but t&s is acting pretty childish in ignoring it and not just banning him. they probably should all just be replaced with people who will actually do the job at this point.
