Welp, been sick, and not feeling great, and avoiding twitter 2 for my mental health, but seeing as it seems VoteBlueskynomatterwho is siding with being "fair and balanced" over Jesse Singal, I'm out. It's been fun. Not going to delete, but I am leaving until he's gone. Peace.

Jesse Singal is a liar and a fraud of a journalist and I will prove it as an unassailable fact in this thread.

I'll also talk about why I don't think BlueSky moderation will do anything about him afterwards so stick around or maybe just skip to that if you don't want to read the boring details.

Feels like the internet is just that one "You don't fit in here" comic where the people come into spaces queer folk create and push them out of it, over and over and over. I think major platforms may be a mistake. Corpo internet is not, and will never be where creativity and safety can ever thrive.

@aaron.bsky.team Either this place is safe for trans folks or it isn't. If Jesse Singal isn't banned by 12/18/2024, every queer person should leave this foul platform. And it becomes that, if you don't protect it. Trans existence is not a matter of "debate". Get to work, or queer folk will leave.

one of the worst parts about america right now is the court and justice system is completely taken over by far right activist judges and there’s not really a democrat/leftist response to this at all right now

Why would I want to stay on a platform where my friends aren't safe but Jesse "I am definitely doing stochastic terrorism against innocent people" Singal is protected? What's fun about that?

some thoughts on the Singal situation, as it seems to be moving towards "nobody says anything and he stays on the platform":

I think this is a mistake, and I think it risks losing much of what made bluesky special and taking away one of the few safe-ish spaces trans people have left on the internet

It's just a classic example of cis people not giving a fuck about trans people. Despite having a platform that could hold people to a standard of conduct the blue sky staff would rather ignore the safety of the population that helped establish their user base.

Shit sucks.
singal has broken platform rules. if certain accounts are given exemptions from the community guidelines bluesky will create personalities like libs of tik tok, just like twitter did. if this continues there will be mass shooters who cite inspiration from bluesky accounts in their manifestos.

I feel confident that there are people within the bluesky org already pushing for the return of LoTT.

A request for cis allies:

Report and block Jesse Singal. In addition to his highly problematic history in journalism, he's now actively calling on his Twitter followers to harass trans women he disagrees with on Bluesky.

Boosting.

Strict enforced moderation/Trust & Safety/anti-harassment on Bluesky was what made this better than Xitter.

Bluesky has been silent on Jesse Singal in spite of overwhelming feedback from the trans community re: the harmful nature of his presence here.

Report & block, in solidarity.

TL;DR: Dexter and Noodles love to mock and blame the downtrodden, not the system.

"As he proves across Americana, he’s far from an ally for the marginalized. If anything, the Offspring helped to propagate adherence to the machine, belittling the sympathies of everyone whom it was designed to fail."
"As a whole, Americana practices a sort of 'respectability politics' against people in poverty [ . . . ] Basically, it reimagines punk rock as Fox News."
