What’s up? I’m here from Bluesky. Decided I’d try one last time moving platforms to see if this would be any better. Liking it so far!

Y’all can call me Zombie or Buck!

      Bluesky moderation is allowing blatant transphobes to take residence on their platform now and banning trans people for retaliating against transphobia. Basically going the same direction as Twitter and Tumblr. I don’t see any way this can go but badly unless moderation starts listening to us. You know the old adage, “once you start allowing Nazis in your bar it becomes a Nazi bar,” if you get what I mean. It’s a shame because Bluesky had so much potential, but of course, trans folx can’t have anything nice.

      Not exactly familiar either but it seems mostly due to the admins showing their entire ass because of him, not necessarily the guy himself

        It started with the guy, yeah. They’re allowing him on the platform and people are rightfully angry about it, but moderation isn’t listening to any of us and is showing their ass like you said. I’m not 100% briefed on the situation either because I don’t use Bluesky as much anymore, but that’s the gist of it.
