hey Jay, many people here are paying real dollars to run servers that make this place fun and enjoyable. and many of us are pretty uncomfortable with you continuing to make this a safe place for transphobes like jesse singal
Come on, Jay. You think VCs cut checks because of the majesty of the code? You know what they meant. Why on earth would you be shitty and antagonistic about it? If all you had was an architecture and a dream, you’d be screwed. How the fuck can I tell devs in good faith to build on this platform rn?
The expression of a legitimate grievance is not harassment.
I mean, you could just ban Jesse Singal and conservative bigots from your site. Like normal non capitulating to right wing bigot businesses would. also, The Federalist posted an article about Bluesky and you banned everyone in that article, so you’re lying.
These are actions that will affect Bluesky’s future. You gained a following because this place offered a safe haven for many oppressed minorities after Twitter went to hell. You need to be more honest with your users, and yourself. You know what you are doing, and you know it’s not right. /6
Your statement comes off as extremely disingenuous because we’ve not only seen that it’s not true, but you’ve also changed the rules to accommodate one of the most prominent bigots in a hate movement that is targeting an entire group of people. /5
Jay, I’m going to make an earnest appeal here. I hope you read it and consider it. The user in question had repeatedly violated the TOS before and was repeatedly reinstated. He writing, full of disinformation, has been cited by the current federal government as reasons to target trans people. /1
Is this the same platform that was banning people for being insufficiently respectful of Charlie Kirk like two weeks ago or did I open the wrong app
I love when student journalists break a crazy story, especially about their own school. This one is extraordinarily macabre. www.uscannenbergmedia.com/2025/10/01/u...

Venezuela on Thursday said it had detected five US fighter jets flying near its Caribbean coast. Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino described the incident as a “provocation” by the United States that posed a threat to national security.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…
BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

shawn@mulchy.bsky.social · 11mo agothe cook county sheriff’s office and illinois state police announce they’re setting up a “temporary unified command” to “coordinate public safety efforts” outside the broadview ice detention center. this includes “designated areas” for protest along the sidewalk “to allow emergency vehicle access.”
"People detained at the immigration jail said their arrival dates were being falsified, reportedly altered when their wristbands were scanned, to hide the fact they've been held longer than the 14-day legal limit without a specific action ... being taken after [issuance of] an ICE detainer."
Truthout@truthout.org · 11mo agoState-run extrajudicial immigration black sites like Alligator Alcatraz allows politically connected individuals to make hundreds of millions of dollars off Florida’s taxpayers at the expense of jailed migrants, while those held are stripped of their access to legal counsel and due process.
It's fascinating and revealing how many centrists think refusing to compromise on human rights to gain the support of bigots represents a "political purity test," yet also think that a bigot saying "I won't join you unless you accommodate my bigotry" does NOT represent a "political purity test."

It's really disappointing to see y'all belittling people with serious, sincere concerns.
You know the only reason your site took off is because a similar site was taken over by someone who was actively hostile to user trust and safety, and was a performatively obnoxious jerk about it, right?
In Oct 2023, about 5 weeks before he was assassinated by Israel, Refaat Alareer put the blame on Bari Weiss for his death. CBS has always been a festering pit of racist shitheads. Ben Gurion's great nephew Les Moonves ran the place for years.

Having now read the Administration's proposed compact with universities, I have two thoughts: This is not the sort of system set up by an administration that ever expects a different party to be in power again. It is a "fuck you, make me" moment for universities.
