good morning

i was in my childhood friends wedding this summer and the pics just came back 🥹

good morning

omg i do!! hi!! 😍😍

ooohhhh

boo

the way i already had whoever that is blocked and i haven’t been on here since 2023 😭😭

hiiii

is this thing on?

my desk

ik it’s been said to death but a lot of you amazing insightful writers better start thinking about how you’re posting free work on this site

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

EVERYBODY on the Blue.sky.team loved mentioning and doing "skeets" for how amazing @aliafonzy.bsky.social was

when it was free labor and press

moderation was simple when it was " Hannah with the hammers"

but now we get these lugubrious threads of BS

and im still being capped with Blocks

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.

back to twitter since this place is apparently the same thing different package 🫡

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 person making a death threat towards a Black woman on top of posting this garbage? with no suspension?

tell me why Black people should feel that this app is any better or safer than twitter? and some of the team follow them?? come on now

🤡 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 🤷🏻‍♀️

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.
