This has been a really bad weekend for Bluesky. The team is squandering all of the goodwill they've built up and the glossy press they've gotten this year. It's honestly pretty disappointing.

Bluesky (users): "We fucking love trans people!"
Bluesky (team):
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 will never, so long as their whiteness puts so sinister a distance between themselves and their own experience and the experience of others, feel themselves sufficiently human, sufficiently worthwhile, to become responsible for themselves, their leaders, their country, their children, or their fate. They will perish (as we once put it in our black church) in their sinsβthat is, in their delusions. And this is happening, needless to say, already, all around us.
