If we’re offering some grace to Bluesky, we could also offer it to people who are understandably upset at being dehumanized by bigoted scum on a new platform that got their hopes up. I mean I assume there’s that much grace to to around.

My hottest take about free speech: the ACLU was on the right side of Skokie, but the subsequent 40 years of high school pedagogy about the case have been an unmitigated disaster, creating a generation of people who seriously think that being nice to Nazis is not on legally required but a moral good.

I've been reading Mansik for years, I still don't agree with the moderation theorem, it mainly applies to super large sites that IMO are an aberration when it comes to social systems.
they aren't supposed to get to a million+ users in a single system.

only time will tell, though the past has already said a lot.
I have made decisions, and made mistakes.
those have caused harm to real people, including Black folks, including really great+knowledgeable Black folks who supported Bluesky.
I'm sorry. feel pretty bad about it. it sucks.
re/earning their trust, and everybody else's trust, will be hard.
