Bluesky is consistently censoring Palestinian people. There is a blatant pattern of this and you can't argue it's down to ignorance because they've been directly confronted on it.

Kick up a fuss. Lift the voices of Palestinians. Let Bluesky know that you see this pattern and you won't let it slide.

NASA Employees Protest Cuts In Formal Dissent Letter Retired astronaut Cady Coleman explains why she felt compelled to sign β€œThe Voyager Declaration.”

Last week, hundreds of current and former NASA employees released a letter protesting the proposed budget cuts to the agency. β€œDiscovery and invention and exploration is not a faucet that you can turn on and off,” says retired astronaut Cady Coleman, who signed the letter.

Cannot emphasise enough how much the episode this is from is about the doctor saving Space Eurovision from a group of evil, horned, Space Palestinians

Very proud to be a signatory to this letter. We as a digital community are utterly failing to stand up for the shockingly vulnerable Palestinian community, and bsky's staffers are failing to listen.

The 'moderation' here has been obviously excessively aggressive in banning Palestinian accounts

The precautionary principle applies to political engagement, just as it does to pandemics. You don't wait and see and only react once things go badly. You need to be proactive when there are warning signs.

It’s true we’re coming out of a mini ice age. But the rate that we’re doing so is unprecedented and is a clear indication of something terribly wrong

Bluesky wonderfully free of hypocritical Eurovision fans who won’t boycott an event that platforms a nation committing genocide
