saying this now before bluesky eventually drops Bluesky+ but if they plan to allow some of the worst transphobes be on here openly who have actively stated their intention to make the website worse, that's a very firm line in the sand.
i'll give them time to Figure It Out but it's not looking good.

is being reaffirmed
If you buy Bsky+ AND say something against minorities, you just lose you account AND your money
But letting someone that big come over with explicit intentions to harass us because he's bored.
"Just yeah we got a ton of trans people to serve on a platter."
Couldn't even keep the label on him.
Today? Ehhh. At least I still like the trans cluster.
That is reality.
You can literally run your own PDS or another group can run one and you can transfer to that one.
I mean you can have a PDS service pop up that is very explicitly and strict on those values, and move onto those, although I'd say that particular aspect probably has more to do with Blocklists, because there is a separation of services.
Its not worth abandoning the whole protocol over, although it's possible to abandon most things hosted by them.
Seriously an internet less centralized in US hosting and with social media no longer kings of the net as they used to be at this point seems like the only real way to get away from the worst aspects from today's internet.
Can only hope...
1) No one gives a crap if we're around, we're mostly self-isolating, and don't attack first.
2) As we have seen on Twitter (and Truth, Gab, Parler...), NO ONE WANTS TO BE AROUND CHUDS! They drive normal people and advertisers away!
Seems an obvious choice.
Like, can anyone name a single person who FAFO'd with Trans BSky that made the site worse when we ran them off?
You can run your own PDS as I do, don't abandon the protocol just for something you disagree
I ain't a big account, but you lose "nuts & bolts" folks like me and the writing is on the wall before too long.
Seriously though, Bluesky, get it together.
Maybe I'll find some pics of him and add an eggplant or two.
“we’ve decided to bend rules for the abuser because otherwise we would not be allowed to have this abuser on here & a lot of people online like to abuse people & representation matters.”
i blocked. encouraged others to block. he already has giant platforms at his disposal & the worst people in the grift will give him cash.
it’s okay to ask people steering the ship for more sometimes.
