It's a label used by adolescents, this "rude" label. It's as if bluesky moderators & leadership don't believe adults can read and discern for themselves the context of an online convo. Then, act accordingly. If someone doesn't like it, scroll on.
But labeling an acct is infantile. Bad biz model.

This is correct. Liars often find the truth to be "rude."
@jay.bsky.team @moderation.bsky.app @bsky.app are unable to dispute my facts. They are unable to say that I am wrong about these racist trolls, because I am not. They label me as "rude" for not being polite to the racist trolls they coddle.

@smollusk.bsky.social I have never screamed at you or anyone else across any street. I never even heard of you until you came to my page to attack me along with a chorus of racist liars. You're not being attacked, you're being held accountable and responded to. You are a racist and a liar.

Hear hear.
Your account is definitely proof.
To see your account labeled as “rude” every time I come on this platform to read your informative posts is wild to me.
Like for how long is that going to go on? Your spitting truth is labeled “rude” here. If that ain't anti-Blackness than what is?

Why do you label @talibkweli.bsky.social as rude?
Is it rude to talk about racism and hypocrisy?
He's one of the important voices here on bsky, so let him speak!

@moderation.bsky.app hates unapologetic Black voices. But I will never stop speaking. Long after BlueSky is gone, they will still be singing my songs.
@moderation.bsky.app what’s up with keeping @talibkweli.bsky.social under a rude label?
Yet you don’t label the racists blowing him up with any kind of warning?

This is a right-wing dogpile using social media to whip up fake outrage.

This is the impact of networked incitement. And now every other “citizen journalist” wannabe Nick Shirley is on the ground in Washington, Ohio, and I assume elsewhere trying to break/make the next viral story. There’s potential for this to spin further out of control, hoping it doesn’t

@moderation.bsky.app @jay.bsky.team @bsky.app have decided that they are against unapologetic Black voices.
Stop censoring @talibkweli.bsky.social. I follow him and never see his posts and he doesn't come up when you search his name either. This is censorship far beyond labeling him as a "rude account," which is really dumb in itself

@tahjnaar.bsky.social Why would you presume its ever been your place to tell a Black man how to spend his own time? Do you think Black people are slaves? Focus on yourself instead, colonizer.

How long do they plan on throttling this account?? And if I freely follow, why can’t posts remain visible without me coming to check on updates??

I defended artist, activist & antiracist @talibkweli.bsky.social from lies and targeted attacks by members of the #blacksky clique run by @rude1.blacksky.team aka Rudy Fraser. If you disagree with Rudy, then he feels entitled to label you as anti-Black, which I am clearly not.

@smollusk.bsky.social Yes. It's your money. I support free speech, and I am also a fan of some comedians who make jokes that others see as "racist." Take Andrew Dice Clay for example. I don't have a problem with his racist jokes, because I do not have a problem with comedy.

@malachitetiger.bsky.social The reason that I know for a fact that you do zero activist work, besides the fact that you can't prove you do any, is because activists do not stalk and lie about Black activists while hiding who they are.
That's what the KKK does.
That's what the KKK does.
"I'm cis and I say so" does not negate a trans person's decades of activism.
I'm not demanding you believe me. I'm just saying that it's wildly egotistical for your cis self to believe that a trans person has done no activism simply because you aren't familiar with it.

The same white folks who will say "you know my father marched with MLK" or "I would have voted for Obama a third time if I could" or "I donated to Black Lives Matter" will turn around and say "prove it" when a Black person points out some racism occurring right in front of them.

@malachitetiger.bsky.social You stated, without proof, that I haven't combated fascism all month.
Yet, when asked for proof that you have EVER combated fascism, then it's "I don't need to show you any proof, I'm white so you Blacks must take my word for it!"
Nope.

Oh there's plenty of proof, I just don't market myself on it, because opposing oppression is the bare minimum moral expectation, not something to expect praise for.
Furthermore, where did I ever deny that you're known for that?
I'm not responsible for words you *imagined* me saying.

@malachitetiger.bsky.social "I'm white and I say so" is not "plenty of proof." I am not obligated to believe racists.
Imma need to see some actual proof of your activism. You don't have any tho. Because you're lying.

@malachitetiger.bsky.social Since you admit that there is zero proof of you ever combating Nazis, maybe consider shutting the fuck up instead of denying the fact that a public facing Black men is well known for combating nazi ideology.
Just because I don't make a personal brand to try to enrich myself off my Queer Nation activism doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

@malachitetiger.bsky.social "hey man" is a well known American colloquialism, invented by Black men who used to be called "boy." Say it to yourself in Jeff Bridges "the dude" voice since seeing a Black man type "hey man" terrifies you so much.
This ain't misgendering. At all. Racist liar.
This ain't misgendering. At all. Racist liar.
In which you immediately responded to a trans woman informing you she is a trans woman by calling her a man again.
Your "I'm cis and I say it's not" doesn't fly. Anyone who understands the concept of misgendering can see that you did so, willfully and knowingly.
And this isn't the only time.
