We've written a Researcher's Guide to Bluesky!
It's a bit like all those other useful guides to Bluesky, but with several useful insights from University of York academics about using the platform, and we'd love it if it was reposted far and wide...

Hmm, time flies. It's been almost 15 months since my last post and probably at least a year since I logged in. I wonder what's been happening around here lately.

This. This! A thousand fucking times, THIS!!
Whether it's a government, company, family, or person, OWN UP TO YOUR FUCK-UPS!!! It's not always easy, and usually never fun, but it fucking matters so much!!!

Every company operates as if what people are asking for is you to completely dissolve yourself from capitalism and stop doing business when really all people want is to know you’re actually listening, you actually give a shit, and you’re actually going to do something different

But on a serious note: Thank you to the community who are holding strong to not let this go and finally get answers and actions and understands how painful this is. Existing as a Black person is so exhausting and it’s very validating seeing this outpour of support🥹💕

I suspect that if you ground up Scott Adams and fed him to an AI, you'd get something like Twitter's current business plan.

And now that I think about it and read more closely, why is some of this stuff still a "proposal?!" THIS STUFF HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE across the internet for the last decade or two!!! Are they really going to accept feedback that would be in opposition to most of this?! WTSF! Read up on this!

I mean, FFS, it's like they haven't even read their own proposals!!! Their "intolerance" section alone would cover this bullshit. Maybe before asking for our feedback, they should read the fucking proposals and then compare with their codebase and see should already be done.

It's discouraging to finally get in the door, like what I saw and heard the first several days, and then to find serious and concerning (and negligent?) contradictions to their proposed mod controls.
I like to give benefit of doubt & grace, but in the face of these events, I don't see it possible.

As this shitstorm continues from yesterday, w/ no real response (beyond a silent change to their moderation code), let alone an apology, from the BlueSky team, I'm now wondering if this platform can really survive long-term.
Even Musk hasn't broken Twitter's systems enough to allow this shit.

So for update: Someone deliberately updated their handle after the outrage. So this is deliberate racist people.
Their handle changed at 13:19 UTC+0 (about an hour ago)

If you're enjoying Bluesky and you don't want it to turn into the cesspool of hate that Twitter did, you best speak up now. Cut that 'I don't know what to say' shit out and amplify Black and queer voices, because the BS team ain't listening to us.
