BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers:

Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users.

That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

A true warrior must be proud of their deeds, but pride without humility is arrogance. It means nothing if it drives away comrades and allies. Be proud! But temper it with humility, or else you will find yourself alone, friendless, facing your enemies with pride and nothing more.

Bluesky has grown by over 3M people in the last week — welcome!

With every wave of growth naturally comes an increase in moderation reports. Here’s a status report on how the Trust & Safety team is handling it:

Feeling excluded from an LGBTQ+ space or having my presence questioned because I don't/can't look or act or present in ways that come across as "queer enough" for some people sucks.

@jay.bsky.team Your team members are blocking people over polite criticisms (like this one) which will cause the loss of faith and support from users. If your team's response to people advocating for the survival and robustness of your platform is fragility and defensiveness this place has no future
@ansh.bsky.team if you're going to invite hundreds of thousands of people into your beta you have an obligation to make it a safe space for them BEFORE they arrive. You can't just say "sorry your life is in danger we're in beta". That's not how you build a loyal community or one thst trusts you.

I think it’s rude and offensive to think that billionaires want to be friends with Clarence Thomas in some effort to influence the Supreme Court. They like him sincerely and personally for his own qualities. Specifically, billionaires love sexual predators.

A few minutes late, the injunction against Tennessee has dropped. States who have banned gender affirming care are now 0-6 in court.
States who have banned gender affirming care are now 0-5 in court.
BREAKING: A federal court has blocked Kentucky's ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth, finding a lawsuit against the law "has a strong likelihood of success on the merits." This is the fifth such court to block such a ban and continues a perfect score for challenges against them.

That the rule was unconstitutionally void for vagueness is unsurprising and it's absolutely fantastic that we can now change our gender on our birth certificates here again. That the state was held in contempt for acting in bad faith and the AG was rebuked is just icing on the cake.
Birth certificate rule is unconstitutional, judge holds state in contempt, liable for entire suit ��...
Judge Michael Moses declares Senate Bill 280 unconstitutional and holds the State of Montana in contempt for not following the orders of the court and the state's Supreme Court.
