Look I ain't gonna defend Bluesky moderation, all I'm gonna say is "hey this specific death threat is a joke" is never something you can really handle well when dealing with a population of millions of posters.
It sucks but it's just a reality of how shit goes

Apparently Oswalt has been banned for this. Not debating the virtues of this policy right now - just noting that Bluesky admins seem to be establishing a hard policy of banning people for death threats, whether folks think of those posts as jokes or not.
Just important to be aware of as you post.

aesthetically horrible yes, but fascinating on an anthropological and cultural level - to an American, there is nothing more worthy of contemptuous dismissal than a burger that turns out to be nothing
‘Nothingburger’ is probably the most repulsive American contribution to the English language

The corporate death penalty.
If companies are legally people and we choose to legally execute people for certain crimes, we should be able to liquidate/nationalize a company when they commit similar crimes.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
