Sammo Hung (aka Bill Hater)

Just because you can start a social media website doesn't make you fit to be its leader... ☕

She banned Link for sharing a Ch*rlie K*rk meme under the pretense of wishing harm.

I'm tired of people who just want a payday pretending to be leaders.

4 panel comic Panel 1: A Purple person is standing holding a clipboard. A Blue Person sits at a laptop. Blue Person: Woohoo. I’m the CEO of a social media platform. Panel 2: Purple person: We should hire a PR person to interact with the public Blue Person begins to type on laptop and says: Nope. Gonna do all that myself Panel 3: Purple person looks concerned and says: Really…but… Panel 4: Purple person: You’re such a whiny little fucking baby

I'm a busy gotdamn adult so I don't got the time to make it happen, but imagine if every user who was Black, trans, or a swer just up and stopped posting. How delicious that petty silence would be 😇😇😇

wouldn't it be funny if we all stopped using bluesky at the same time for 24 hours just to fuck with them

*sighs* I swear to the sweet lord baby black Jesus

you can't code your way out of a social problem

Link was a scholar and activist offline and online. He had one of the most popular accounts and used his influence to try to make this a more welcoming community to people of various backgrounds. He was critical of bsky moderation's recent decisions, and they made up a reason to suspend his account.

I appreciate all the people showing love and support to me. I’m so grateful honestly. It means a lot. The ban isn’t that big of a deal for me. I think it was wrong and the explanation was bullshit. But that’s ok and I accept. Social media comes and goes. I’m grateful for all the connections I was able to make and all the people I get to be connected with off Bluesky. More importantly, the world needs more people to give a fuck. More people to give a fuck about Palestinians, more people to give a fuck about disabled folks, more people to give a fuck about our queer and trans siblings, more people to give a fuck about Black liberation. The world, and Bluesky, is full of bootlickers who will do anything to avoid doing anything to upset the status quo. These people are cowards groveling to those in power in hopes of protection. I just hope people continue to show love and care and kindness. Mutual aid is so important. Give when you can, boost when you can. We only survive this together.

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

protect the powerful? ✅
punish the vulnerable? ✅
every single time

can't wait for the bsky edition of Careless People

acab includes bsky

i think it is fair to request a statement from @jay.bsky.team on TRANS PEOPLE and where we fit in on @bsky.app.

i think as a transgender journalist, it's acceptable and makes sense for me to ask this

and so, the question, am i not a person as a trans girl and do i not deserve to feel safe here?

they cash me outside—because i would love to join you in dining on waffles :)

Tom was cool
and you are no Tom

are you wishing harm on those waffles

I remember when I first got here and I saw users yucking it up with the bsky team.

I was like, nope nope nope. I've seen enough big ego little princes for one life. I remember how we all thought Zuck was just like us.

Lo and behold...

One of the reasons I've stuck around here this long is because of Link

Whenever a Black person comes into a new space, we look around for another brother or sister to see if they take us seriously

Link was that brother

And now these cornball motherfuckers changed that.

maybe there's a future for her in Big Waffle

the only difference between Jay and Zuck is time

definitely leaving bluesky now, fuck these people

the only question is will I use a pseudonym or not

and honestly

it'd be so easy to *poof*

popularity has always been the greatest capital on social media

not thoughtfulness

and I'm just not motivated to become very popular

yeah, a blog is in my future (as well as an escape from social media)

your biggest clue should've been how Trump decided he needed one so he could be the Main Character every day

imagine being the type of person who owns a social media website

These people are so full of shit. "If you don't like it, make your own!" ...except they'll have secret control over your thing to, so...

If Bsky has extrajudicial control over the protocol, that's one more reason towards my personal recommendation on how to handle all this, which is to *never* touch atproto in any other capacity after this ultimately crashes and burns.
