The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Please ignore that AJ Link was permanently banned immediately after using the labeler to call out Bluesky's CEO for following a transphobe. Unrelated.

If a single major media outlet acknowledges this truth I'll be damned.

tbf, Yves et al. are definitely just part of "the grifters."

Losing Follow Tracker is genuinely a huge fucking loss, not because it makes it more difficult to see shitty people which is bad on its own, but because it was easily the best tool to quickly recognize engagement farmers, bots, and AI, who often follow controversial accounts by default.

I swapped to Blacksky’s PDS after Link got banned trusting this exact thread from Rudy was coming.

He has already vetoed one of the bills. That alone is plenty to be angry about.

Fuck this bigot. Democrats in California better override his fucking veto. Get back in the fuckin' office @assemblydems.bsky.social.

We're even closer! Help us cross that milestone!

The Usual Choices is a 150+ page collection of short comics with a killer row of superb artists. This collection spans genres, but returns to themes of love, death, gods, and monsters.

I knew post-sale Destructoid was bad but I didn't realize how bad.

bluesky’s exec team be like:

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there. Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

“The reality is that the court is adjusting the law to make place for arbitrary power.”

To understand the Supreme Court's role in Trump's authoritarian project, I turned to the idea of a dual state: an authoritarian regime that keeps up a facade of normalcy

A reply with an image; alt text reads: 'Charlie Kirk sitting in a white T-shirt that says "Freedom." A negative consequence follows!

This is the image and the alt text that got Link permabanned from Bluesky servers

Let’s be clear about what happened to Link. Jay, the CEO of Bluesky, permanently banned him across the entire protocol because he talked back to her. It’s pure, inarguable racism. A black man talked back to a white woman in power and she’s abusing the system to punish him. #FreeLink

So… Łink’s account is permabanned from Bluesky’s appview, but also gets banned from:

WhiteWind
Skylight
Bluescreen
Flashes

Basically all ATproto apps/projects?

WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OF THIS PROJECT THEN?

Jay @jay.bsky.team like:

"Oh? Oh? You think I'm transphobic? Well could a transphobe do THIS?"

*Does racism*

bluesky: community moderation! we're all about community moderation! we want you to moderate yourselves! we are giving you the tools to do it yourself!

one of the biggest and longest running community mod lists:

They permanently banned Link, a prominent community leader and incredible person, because he accurately called Bluesky’s CEO a bigot and they made up a justification, a Charlie Kirk meme. This shit is unacceptable. Free Link @safety.bsky.app. Racist fuckin’ bullshit.

Really sums it up that TechCrunch decided to call this a waffle controversy and not one revolving around bigotry in Bluesky's management and moderation.

This is true because it's the only explanation for why Nathan Drake rekindled with Elena and had a kid in Uncharted 4 instead of dying like the series planned for.

Can't ban Jesse Singal because "he didn't violate the ToS we changed so we could unban him in the first place" but can sure as fuck ban a Black disabled paragon of mutual aid for embarrassing the CEO which isn't even a violation of the ToS. Absolutely pathetic shit.

Suspending Link after he pointed out the how following Jonathan Chait after being accused of transphobia does not allow you to beat the transphobia allegations. In fact, it does the opposite.

To be clear: suspending Link was certainly a choice. And we know what KIND of choice it is.

They brought the post back lol. Finish the job. Ban Singal. Rescue your platform.

Yes, explicitly overruling/rewriting your own Terms & Service to allow bigotry toward LGBT+ people because of your own bigoted political beliefs is craven and evil.

Bigots: I want to harass minorities until they kill themselves or the government ethnically cleanses them.

Minorities: I'd rather my social media not allow bigots a platform to do that.

Jay and Paul Freeze:

lmao i wish portland was run by socialists

I think it really is just the obvious thing. That Jay is right-wing and transphobic, and she is going to impose those beliefs on the userbase regardless of who those users are.
