I’m not sure about the healing time, but I really hope you’re feeling a bit better soon! Sending you good thoughts 🌷

Thanks so much, Roy!!

Thanks so much!

We need moderation that understands nuance. Scholars shouldn’t have to euphemise their research just to be allowed on the platform. #AcademicBluesky #SexWork #ResearchMatters #Humanities #ContentModeration

This isn’t just about one word. It’s about how automated moderation systems erase marginalised subjects — even in scholarly contexts — and make it harder for researchers working on gender, sexuality, and identity to speak clearly and publicly about their work.

I changed the wording — reluctantly — but then raised a separate issue: that their moderation policies force researchers to misrepresent our work.

Their response? A generic copy-paste that didn’t address the issue at all.

It’s now been over a day with no follow-up.

That’s fantastic news! Congratulations! 👏🏻
