Joe psychologically abused me for 2 years, lied to me that he and Kiza had a consensual relationship even after stalking her at the Sonic Expo con IRL, and emotionally and verbally abused many more people.

Joe said he has an anonymous BlueSky account. Joe, shame on you.

This is a callout post for a very alarming person in the Sonic community going by the user
@MrJoestarSSB ( on Twitter )
who is known for stalking, his obsession with me (and a few other women), lying, manipulation + harassment.

PLEASE read and spread awareness.

A digital landscape painting with oil like brushes. Two characters kiss underwater, holding hands as they float through the water. Cyrus, left, is a tall Black man and wears fantasy travel like clothes with knee boots, baggy trousers and a sleeveless jacket with fur around the neck. He has long red dreadlocks floating around him in the water and pointed ears. Niko, right, is a slim light skinned man with long wavy navy hair. He wears blue toned princely attire with thigh high leather boots and golden details. He has a long pointed ear with a red earring. The piece has blue tones with bright warm sun reflecting off the riverbed background and off their clothes.

A digital portrait in oil style brushes of a silver tabby cat. One side of her body is in warm highlights, the opposite in shadow that has a blue rimlight. She has yellow eyes with large black pupils and white fur on her chest.

A digital oil like painting of Sorey and Mikleo from Tales of Zestiria in a realism style. Sorey carries Mikleo in a bridal carry, fingers spread as though pleading. His face is covered in dark shadows and he smiles sadly with blood dripping down his face, one leg on a tree stump and the other shown in perspective from above on the forest floor. Sorey wears his white cape with feather details and buckled boots over dark baggy trousers. Mikleo is sprawled lifeless in his arms, his own arms limp, blood dripping down on one and through the chest of his turquoise and white jacket with gold embellishments. There are leafless trees behind them against a cool backdrop, and dying flames are on the forest floor.

Sylvain and Felix painted in a digital realism oil style. They're painted side by side facing each other, Felix closing a gap for a kiss with his hands reaching to caress Sylvain. He wears an emerald ring. Sylvain waits for the kiss with a hint of a smile. He has spiked red hair, hit with bright light. The same light illuminates the side of Felix's face with warm orange and flyaway strands from his navy shoulder length hair.

We've already seen Klarna, Duolingo, and Salesforce walk back their promises of AI-ification of their workforce. That was always the promise of the AI *as an industry* - replace expensive, troublesome humans - and that's what's going to come crashing down.

My dear friend, a few days ago, I and many friends, including my friend Molly, talked about Blue Sky’s policy towards Palestinians.
I hope, my friend, that it will not be like their policy and ignore me.
My wife and I need you today to support and help us.♥️🫂🙏🏻

If you can, make your voice heard and say with your chest that you don't stand for trying to hide an active genocide.

@bsky.app should be ashamed. We all came here to be able to interact with like minded people and fight this current admin from covering up the truth. That truth includes the Palestinians voices against their genocide. It would be a shame to have to leave this app because it was a fraud.

bsky is severely lacking in resources for non-native english speakers. if they really want to have a global community, they need to improve access for users from all over the world

Honestly I think at minimum Bluesky's ToS should have an Arabic version. Like this is SUPPOSE to be a global platform and that's a major world language so that should have already been a thing 🫠

.رسالة مفتوحة إلى فريق بلوسكاي بشأن تعاملهم مع الفلسطينيين في غزة

نحن الموقّعون على هذه الرسالة جميعاً من أعضاء مجتمع بلوسكاي، وقد شارك العديد منا على هذه المنصة منذ نشأتها. لقد انضممنا إلى بلوسكاي لأنها كانت بمثابة نسمة من الهواء النقي، ومكاناً مختلفاً عن العديد من منصات التواصل الاجتماعي الأخرى. غياب الخوارزمية المركزية، والقدرة على إنشاء واستخدام خلاصات مخصصة، وعدم فرض عقوبات على الترويج للروابط، كلها عوامل أسهمت في خلق بيئة سمحت للأصوات المتنوعة والمثيرة للاهتمام بأن تجد لها موطئ قدم ومجتمعًا داخل بلوسكاي.

وعلى الرغم من أن بعض موقّعي هذه الرسالة لم يواجهوا أي مشكلة في التعبير عن آرائهم علناً على المنصة، فإن هذا للأسف لا ينطبق على جميع الموقّعين، إذ إن العديد منهم فلسطينيون يعيشون حالياً في غزة.

هؤلاء الفلسطينيون هم صحفيون وفنانون ومهندسون ومعلمون وجدات، ورجال أعمال، ورجل كان يملك متجراً للبوظة، وطبيب أطفال ظهر في برنامج أخبار صباح سي بي سي ، وعمال إغاثة، ومهندسون معماريون، ونُدُل، وصيادلة، وطلاب، وربما الأهم من ذلك هم من صانعي المحتوى الأساسيين على بلوسكاي . جميع هؤلاء الأشخاص يقدّمون أصواتاً فريدة ومهمة لمجتمع بلوسكاي. ومع ذلك، وعلى خلاف باقي موقّعي هذه الرسالة، واجه هؤلاء الأعضاء الفلسطينيون صعوبة في الحفاظ على وجودهم على المنصة. فقد تعرّض معظمهم لفقدان حساباتهم مرات عديدة، أو تم تصنيف حساباتهم كرسائل مزعجة. بعضهم لا يستطيع حتى إنشاء حساب دون أن يُزال على الفور من المنصة.
يبذل الغزيون جهوداً شاقة لمجرد التمكن من التواجد على منصة بلوسكاي. أحياناً يقطعون أميالاً سيراً على الأقدام للوصول إلى الإنترنت. يصعدون إلى أسطح المباني، متعرضين بذلك لخطر الهجمات العسكرية، فقط للحصول على إشارة هاتف أفضل وقد فقدت إحدى موقّعات هذه الرسالة شقيقها بهذه الطريقة المؤلمة. يستخدمون ما تبقّى لديهم من أموال قليلة لسداد فواتير الهاتف والإنترنت بدلاً من إنفاقها على الغذاء والمأوى الذي هم بأمس الحاجة إليه. إنهم يُجبرون على اتخاذ هذا القرار اللاإنساني، لأن تواصلهم مع العالم الخارجي بات ضرورة من أجل البقاء.

يستخدم العديد منهم هذه المنصة لجمع تبرعات ضرورية، بينما يستخدمها آخرون لسرد القصص والحقائق حول ما يحدث في غزة، في وقت تتجاهل فيه وسائل الإعلام الغربية هذه الوقائع. ينشر الفلسطينيون …

إرسال رسائل إلكترونية بخصوص الإجراءات التأديبية عند اتخاذها. لا يحصل الغزيون دائماً على رسالة تشرح لهم ما الخطأ الذي ارتكبوه، ومن يحصل على هذه الرسائل يضطر لقراءة لغة لا يتقنونها لفهم المخالفة. يجب أن تحتوي هذه الرسائل على رابط واضح وسهل الوصول لمعلومات المخالفات باللغة العربية.

الرد على الاستئنافات بشكل سريع، حيث أن كثيراً من الغزيين لا يتلقون رداً من بلوسكاي بعد تقديم استئنافهم.

بالإضافة إلى حذف الحسابات بسبب سلوك مزعج مزعوم، في بعض الأحيان تشير بلوسكاي إلى حذف الحسابات بسبب وجود احتيال أو خداع مزعوم. إذا كانت بلوسكاي تحذف حساباً لأسباب تتعلق بالاحتيال أو الخداع، فيجب تقديم أدلة على ذلك للمستخدم. فقد تم تعليق العديد من الغزيين لأسباب كهذه دون أي مبرر.

إعطاء الأولوية للعقوبات المؤقتة كتحذير بدلاً من تعليق الحسابات بشكل دائم. قد يشمل ذلك تقييد مؤقت لقدرتهم على النشر، أو الرد، أو المراسلة المباشرة على بلوسكاي، أو تعليق مؤقت بعد توضيح التوقعات لسلوكهم المستقبلي.

إنهاء حظر عناوين IP لأي حساب من غزة، والسماح لهم بإنشاء حسابات جديدة يمكنهم من خلالها الالتزام بقواعد بلوسكاي والاستمرار كأعضاء قيمة في المجتمع.

نفهم أنه حتى إذا تم تنفيذ كل هذه التغييرات، قد يخرق العديد من الغزيين قواعد بلوسكاي في المستقبل، لكننا نأمل أن تتخلى بلوسكاي عن نهج العقاب تجاه هذه المخالفات، وتتجه بدلاً من ذلك إلى نهج التعليم والتعاون ورعاية المجتمع، بما يضمن للناس في غزة المشاركة بطريقة تحافظ على سماع أصواتهم.

ندعو أيضًا مجتمع بلوسكاي لمساعدة ودعم هذه الحسابات قدر استطاعتهم. نرغب في بناء مجتمع صحي مع أعضاء أفضل، وهذا لا يمكن تحقيقه إذا استمر استبعاد الغزيين. يمكننا استخدام هذه الفرصة لنبين كيفية حماية جميع الفئات الضعيفة في المستقبل.

نأمل ألا تسلك بلوسكاي طريق منصات التواصل الاجتماعي الأخرى، بل أن تواصل السير بفلسفة مختلفة. فبعد كل شيء، هذا هو السبب الذي جذب العديد من مستخدميها. يجب أن ينطبق مبدأ بلوسكاي المتمثل في (No Ceasars) على جميع أفراد مجتمعها.

Here are the current 246 signatories of this letter. We are all active Bluesky users, many of us from Gaza but most of us are not. We all however think this app is a better place when the voices of Palestinians in Gaza are heard.

Open Letter to the Bluesky Team About Their Treatment of Palestinians in Gaza

The signatories of this letter are all members of the Bluesky community, many of us have actively participated on the platform since its inception. We came to Bluesky because it was a breath of fresh air, a place that felt different from many of the other social media platforms. The lack of a central algorithm, the ability to build and use custom feeds, and the lack of penalty for link promotion contributed to an environment that allowed diverse and interesting voices to find their footing and community on Bluesky. While some of the signatories of this letter have had no issues with speaking their mind publicly on Bluesky, unfortunately that is not true for all the signatories because many are Palestinians currently living in Gaza. 

These Palestinians are journalists, artists, engineers, teachers, grandmas, entrepreneurs, a man who owned an ice cream shop, a pediatrician who has been featured on CBS Morning News, aid workers, architects, waiters, pharmacists, students–and perhaps most essential to the backbone of Bluesky, posters. All of these people provide unique and interesting voices to the Bluesky community. However, unlike the other signatories of this letter, these Bluesky community members have struggled to keep their accounts on the platform. Most of them have lost multiple accounts and/or have had their accounts labeled as spam. Some cannot even make an account without it immediately being removed from the platform. 

Gazans undertake immense efforts to simply be on Bluesky. Sometimes, they walk for miles just to have access to the internet. They scale rooftops where they are exposed to potential military attacks just for the opportunity to get better cell signals–one signatory of this letter tragically lost her brother this way. They use what little money they have to pay …

Gazans have also been aggressively targeted and unfairly reported by bad actors. Many accounts openly encourage the reporting and targeting of any Palestinian. Several groups exist for the express purpose of looking for Palestinian accounts to report. 

We believe Bluesky owes Gazans, and the entire community who benefits from their voices, a greater duty of care especially in the context of the horrors they are enduring. We ask Bluesky to implement the following changes:

Provide information on all Bluesky-affiliated websites in Arabic that explains the rules and expectations of the site in clear language.

Investigate the accounts that are mass-reporting Palestinians on Bluesky. The mass reporting of Palestinians on Bluesky is a group effort to render the platform a hostile place for a community based on their ethnicity. As such, it is racism, and should be understood as such. Reports against Palestinians who have broken no community guidelines must be understood as racism, and the accounts that submit those reports should be disregarded in the future.

Many Bluesky users encourage Gazans to tag or reply to them, and this is not always understood as unwelcome behavior. If an account is reported as Spam for tagging or replying to others, treat only reports from the tagged/mentioned account as legitimate, seeing as they were the only ones who received a notification.

Send emails regarding disciplinary action every time it is taken. Gazans do not always get an email explaining what they did wrong, and those that do are required to parse a language they do not speak in order to understand their violation. Have these emails contain an easily visible link to information about their violations in Arabic. 

Respond to appeals in a timely fashion, many Gazans simply never hear back from Bluesky after they appeal a decision.

In addition to removing Gazans for alleged spam behavior, Bluesky has also sometimes indicated that they are deleting an account for being a scam or …

End IP bans on any account from Gaza and allow them to make new accounts where they can comply with Bluesky rules and continue to be valued members of the community. 

We understand that even if all these changes are made, many Gazans may still violate Bluesky rules in the future, but we hope that Bluesky will abandon their punitive approach to these violations and instead embrace an attitude of education, cooperation and community care– one that works to ensure people in Gaza can participate in a way that keeps their voices heard. 

We also call on the Bluesky community to help and support these accounts however they can. We want to continue to build a healthy community with better community members and this cannot be done if Gazans continue to be shunned. We can use this as an opportunity to show how to protect all vulnerable groups in the future.

We hope that Bluesky does not follow the path of other social media platforms and instead forges ahead with a different philosophy. After all, that is the reason so many of its users are there.  Bluesky's ethos of "No Caesars” should apply to all members of its community.

We were hoping that this letter to @bsky.app could first be shared by a Gazan, but we were too worried that doing so would get their account deleted so we are sharing first.
