Bard spotting on Bluesky 03 November 2024

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

In case someone wants to know where the line is on my blocklisting criteria -

Got evidence that an account had:

1. misgendered a bunch of people (in a clumsy way)

2. blocked a bunch of people, mostly trans women

Added to Transphobic blocklist.

(1/2)

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Got evidence that

3. the misgendering was A Mistake, the error retracted and apology made

So I took the account off the Transphobic blocklist.

I don't use "I blockenheimered all of XYZ's followers" as proof, only distantly circumstantial supporting evidence, of bad faith intent.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

It's also exactly what needs to happen to be removed from a blocklist.

1. acknowledgment & retract harmful actions

2. make amends

1 in 10,000 people do these 2 things.
