Because many are stuck to early days whenever Bluesky called out over trust and safety issues or just issues that are result of design flaw:
The response was “give them time” , “they’re just a small team of ___” as the fallback and dodge accountability

Also does anyone else find it weird that people keep saying BSky only has 20 employees but also they’ve scaled up their moderation team to 100 people? Are the moderation team not considered BSky employees?
Interesting attitude toward who counts as central labor and who doesn’t. Very Twitter & Meta.

people who have never experienced open racism — or open bigotry of any sort — do not appreciate the way it can be psychologically destabilizing. and on the main, it actually isn’t healthy to be so resilient and thick-skinned that you don’t react to slurs and dehumanization

“Several students reported being shouted at by passing cars while walking to school, using the N word among other slurs. Other students reported degrading and threatening language at night in the quad while they were alone, from a group of seemingly intoxicated white male students."

Last week, Black community members at the University of Michigan shared their stories. A long thread, because there were a lot of them, and they can make you weep.

pundits keep telling me that trump’s wins aren’t related to racism and yet when he wins there sure seems to be people who see it as license to be extremely racist

Their different viewpoints mean I can’t choose what’s best for me as a woman I’m not listening to that. Mark has the luxury of being a RICH WHITE MAN so he can do what he wants but I’m not finna listen to him.

Mark’s response is violent. Mark’s perspective is dangerous. No one owes those that seek to oppress them a fair exchange of ideas.

They need to be honest. They feel entitled to come to spaces they wasn’t invited and be heard. The frustration is completely tied to the fact they have been denied access before the party even started.
Conservatives love to own spaces of power but demand equality of access everywhere else

Saying this for the white people who follow me. Mark’s perspective is more dangerous than MAGA’s perspective. He pretends to be different but wants us to engage with people who seek to belittle, oppress and destroy us as if their is validity to their movement. There is none. Do not gaslight us.
Why are Trump supporters not wanted ? You dont have to follow them. You can block them. You can filter words. Don’t you want @bsky.app to have all perspectives ? I certainly do.
As long as it’s civil. Why not welcome different viewpoints ?

I don't understand Trump supporters. Why come where you are not wanted. It's odd. Witness me syndrome in the worst way.

This window is dope
The Geneva Window from Harry Clarke, which is on display down at the FIU-Wolfsonian check it out if you can, was a big part of the effort in forming an national identity for the Irish Free State though it was rejected by the League of Nations. It all matters when dealing with people.

Black ableism has been a bigger threat to my survival than white racism.
This is not to let white people off the hook, they are the reason Black ableism could have such an impact on me.
Still, Black people I know personally have turned against me and given me over to the racists bc of ableism.

The neat thing about this is that it becomes p easy to spot a bad actor.
Take people seriously and be earnest. If there's a real problem it'll come to light. If it's an opp that'll come to light too.

"Infighting" is more often than not the result of "allies" who refuse to accept, hear, & engage with criticism.
People raising issues are rarely the cause of division. That CIA infiltration tactic works because it exploits *existing* divides. Deal with this by engaging not silencing & discrediting.

Beyond this the "allies" who enable this sort of harassment not only act on their biases in meet space but fuel to this harassment.
I cite Ra'il on this regularly.
Fascists pattern themselves off the bigotry of allies who turn around and say we deserve it for our reactionary "IdPol" or whatever.

And as always, a reminder that online harassment spills into offline quite often.
