I imagine such a person could also respond to emails from reporters. Bluesky replies to my questions only slightly more frequently than Elon Musk’s companies.

Just go ahead and delete article 1 entirely while you’re at it.

So much of the angry discourse moments that riled up everyone on the site have been a direct result of tech-focused folks trying to explain tech to non-tech people. It’s a consistent lack of understanding of the
depth of knowledge that normies have. They’ve gotta pass the torch to an expert. 

A great way to turn the temp down here as @jay.bsky.team @pfrazee.com and @aaron.bsky.team want would be to stop communicating site policies and practices with individual users or on their timelines and hire a comms person who is a professional communicator to do all the front facing interaction.

Given the behavior of Jay and that team member who did the unironic "You're being racist against AI users" post, I think it's fair to say these people are frying their brain on chatgpt shit lol

Ah. I’m a bit of an internet expert and I can see what’s happened here. Let me break it down so we can all calm down a bit:

The American has noisily shat himself in front of everyone else and is now complaining about the smell.

note that almost all user complaints about how mastodon sucks are symptoms of decentralisation. if a user knows about the decentralisation it's cos it's causing problems.

(the other user complaints are local rogue mods and linux bros)

So - let me get this straight…

They’ll ban social media for under 16s even though most experts say it WON’T work

But they won’t ban gambling advertising & other key recommendations even though most experts say it WILL work

What? #4corners #auspol

Kneecap to ‘fight again’ as appeal against decision to end terror case announced The rap trio said the case is politically driven, and that the Crown Prosecution Service has submitted nothing new in its appeal

“Once again there are endless news reports about…Kneecap…driven by British politicians backed up by the media…we are NOT the story…there is a state wide witch-hunt against Palestinian solidarity.”

A bully believes that kindness is weakness. A fool believes that bullying is strength. A true warrior knows that a bully is weak, and that compassion and kindness are strengths they could never comprehend.

Human rights are not conditional.

Human safety should not be conditional.

The ability of human beings to exist in conditions that permit their flourishing should not be conditional.

If we honor human life, we honor human life.

If human beings are truly holy, truly created in the divine image, then genocide in revenge for slaughter is the opposite of justice.

It's the most extreme misunderstanding of the significance of what was taken. To say the least.

Mourning those murdered by Hamas isn't incompatible with mourning those murdered by the Israeli state.

Demanding that the hostages return isn't incompatible with naming & demanding an end to genocide.

Naming the power imbalance & impact thereof doesn't desecrate those murdered two years ago today.

Łink’s the reason I learned what alt text is and why it matters.

He helped shape Bluesky’s early culture of accessibility.

Erin Baba is a journalist. Link is a lawyer.

Bluesky silences journalists and lawyers now for the sake of the leadership egos.

These rank, arrogant amateurs playacting at being kings and queens of the sandcastle.

A top Trump official accusing federal district court judges, "as a class," of engaging in insurrection is a profoundly dangerous development.

Trump very clearly stated what he would do when given the chance. People like this are admitting they didn't listen.

The question is, okay, now that you acknowledge this, what will you do to help fix the problem?

Greta Thunberg On Her Detention: I'm "Not The Story" — It's Israel Violating International Humanitarian Law “I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story.”

“I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story,” Thunberg said during a press conference following her release.

The all-knowing bsky mods gave Erin Biba a 24 hour suspension for a months-old skeet about Christian Zionism, and I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that this happened when she’s been vocally criticizing Jay

The quintessential right wing move of the modern day. Say the most inflammatory shit on social media and then when you're confronted with said inflammatory shit act shocked SHOCKED that anyone would accuse you of anything untoward.

I was 11 when Ferris Bueller came out and I first heard of trickle-down economics. My dad explained and I said that was stupid & my dad laughed & agreed. Recently we watched the movie w/ my kids and had the same damn conversation. Can we pretty please not keep up this bullshit any longer?

In any other administration this would be considered insane policy uncertainty and rank incompetence. "TRUCK TARIFFS START IN ONE WEEK" only for the deadline to lapse uneventfully and then be followed up by "TRUCK TARIFFS START IN ONE MONTH"

But that’s the last thing right wing, racist voters want. And they are the only type of people whose votes are worth chasing because… um… reasons.

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

Greta Thunberg On Her Detention: I'm "Not The Story" — It's Israel Violating International Humanitarian Law “I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story.”

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

Suspending Erin Biba, a Jewish woman for this skeet is nasty work. Between this and intentionally misreading Link’s use of a meme as a threat, bsky mods are more than willing to ban based on the Spirit Of The Law for *some* posters but never Jesse Singal.

There’s not only no T&S architecture in which to place our trust, but we know we can’t place any trust in the CEO, the person that could put it in place.

Her Musk/Trump-like childish outbursts against perceived enemies in the user base shows she cannot enact something worthy of trust by users.

Jake Tapper, who eviscerated Biden for the sin of growing older, has done everything but help install a chair lift in the White House to cover up Trump's deepening dementia and utter feebleness.

I’m going to wrap here. TL;DR:

- The feedback isn’t personal.
- Loud users are engaged users.
- Communicate + set clear expectations. Own mistakes.
- Get a listing up for a T&S role, even if it takes time to find the right fit.

Almost everyone here wants Bluesky to succeed. We know y’all do too.

It's wild to see this one trick (austerity) still being proposed time and time when we've all lived through the overwhelming evidence of the fact that not only does it always make things worse, but also, never actually saves us any money because they'll simply squander it on tax cuts for the rich.
