In the past month alone, over 12M people joined Bluesky, with daily active users growing 10x. We received more reports in two days than in all of last year, and have integrated new systems and quadrupled our moderation team to try and keep up. Sometimes, we have to work quickly to correct errors.

"if you don't like it here go make your own site"??I deleted my other social media sites to be here and you're abandoning us all??

The community does not have the cowtools to ban Singal and prevent his followers from harassing us with death threats. It is up to you.Do your job or we will ensure you don't have one.

It's not "Let your libertarian friends run rampant and threaten, harass, berate, & dox the trans community"? Huh, today @aaron.bsky.team should've learned.

So basically the takeaway is "We're a bunch of lazy cowardly fricks who wouldn't stand up for endangered minorities under any circumstances."Got it, great.

Quick question, is having an account solely devoted to harassing trans people and regularly screenshotting peopleβs posts to incite dogpiles a breech of your TOS? Because if so, ban Jesse Singal.

You have lost all and any respect I have ever had for this platform and its team. Thank you, New Elon.

yet a trans girl makes a joke to matt yglesias about hammers and becomes the first known instance of someone being banned on here.

You could have just posted a photo of your cowering leadership team drinking a bucket of stale piss instead of writing all that.

Like I said in another post, there's always Restera if you want the ultimate in far-left echo chambers. Why aren't they already there? Also, I can't decide if I like them not banning Signal. The seething is fantastic, but I'd also like to see the seething if BlueSky became even more of a hugbox and failed entirely. Everyone scurrying back to Twitter and posting their "yet you participate in society" memes to excuse it would be fantastic too.

ResetEra will tell you themselves they have a white supremacist patriarchal Nazi problem.
Sometimes in a thread, someone will disagree slightly, get pages of people hating them and then get banned, but that it got posted in the first place just proves how much work Nepenthe would have to do if she wasn't so tired holding the entirely of civilisation on her they/them, 4'11", furry back.

Bluesky turning into a hugbox wouldn't generate good seethe. Look at all the Reddit subs that are basically enforced hugboxes. So much good potential drama gets squelched because of overzealous jannies.

I agree. I'm saying that it would ensure that BlueSky flops though. Of course, it could retain a tiny userbase, like Hexbear or Resterera or whatever else, but it won't be a Twitter alternative. And all these people addicted to their dopamine hits from updoots would go back to Twitter inevitably to get more than 5 likes on their shit takes. So, what I mean is the seethe coming from the failure of BlueSky and their return to Twitter.

No idea. I guess not, now that you mention it. But I only periodically check the thread it has on KF to laugh at meltdowns they have.

I used to check the ban tracker from time to time to laugh at the r-slurred reasons they ban people.

Resetera is on a whole other level because they don't just destroy
each other like it's the Cultural Revolution, that's the only thing they're about. The only thing I can compare
it to is Synanon, which started out as basically a branch of AA and then became all about putting their members into really
humiliating and degrading situations where
everyone
publicly denounces them for their alleged sins. (You might know them from Philip Peepee's A Scanner Darkly or that time when they cut the tail off a rattlesnake and put it in someone's mailbox.)
