Idk I feel like banning the racist person sending "metaphorical" death threats talking about "Anglosphere" was a very easy, obvious choice to make.
How did the BlueSky team get together, discuss, and brainstorm only to come out with the option of NOT banning that person? Shit is kinda wild lol

2. All of that is irrelevant, because the account Jay is talking about here has a number of posts that would violate any sensible post about racially-motivated harassment, and that should have been enough to deal with it.

I said this on my moderation panel at Yale, and I will say it here for the BlueSky team to see:
Part of moderation and safety is deciding who does and doesn't get to stay. There will be people who are not included, full stop.
Your policies determine who sticks around.

Thank you for that clarification. As a member of a marginalized group, I am curious about the application.
Bluntly, at some point your team is going to need a clear stance on the phrase "punch a Nazi" and the discussions around it. A lot of us are hoping Bsky prioritizes the safety of marg. groups.

Being "apolitical" is taking a stance. If someone wants to allow nazis to harass POC and queer folks then it's a very loud stance.

Bluesky built its userbase largely on the back of Aveta's community building acumen, then discarded her when her voice became an inconvenience.
That's fucking embarrassing.

🤡 this is like when i got suspended on facebook for saying “men suck” but when i reported very obvious white supremacist/nazi shit they said 🤷🏻♀️
After review and careful consideration of the context of the conversation, we decided to remove the post, but not ban the user. However, we have also decided to change our policy moving forward. Here’s why we landed where we did:

Moderation is key to a successful social media platform. Having racist shit yelled at me isn’t discourse and I am not weak for not wanting it.
