A very serious person with a very serious point.

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?

A great reminder to read more than the headline!

It's odd that you don't think there's also an ethical problem with using unethically sourced corpses to train an army currently carrying out a genocide, though.

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

But scolding your userbase into being sufficiently deferential to bigots DOES work?

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

Pelosi is the one who picked Jeffries to succeed her, largely on the basis that he's a lapdog who doesn't question his orders.

And now here we are!

As the article notes, the use of unclaimed bodies for medical education is considered unethical.
