We’re having fun on Bluesky

Libs: "Trans people have it worse under Trump." Also Libs: "We shouldn't protect trans people under Trump."

if the democratic party starts stepping away trans people they might as well sign this country away to the far right forever

If you are an artist using Bluesky to promote your work, be aware that every image on this site is being fed into an AI. Your work is being stolen by using this platform.

So you guys have an automated system that falsely flags marginalized people and you have moderators that make decisions that can ruin people's livelihoods in 30 seconds. Sounds like your systems kind of suck.

On a recent post you admitted mods only have 30 secs to review reports and now you have admitted to using AI on every image posted on this site that gives false positives, thus increasing the workload of these mods to correct these mistakes. It really shows you and your team are unprofessional.

Bluesky T&S is just out here openly admitting that they're overworking their moderators and not fixing them enough time to actually properly review their reports, lol it's not like they don't have the money! Bluesky is currently offering 200-300k+equity for SWE positions on their jobs website.

Hi, I used to work as a content moderator for a company that contracted with Bytedance, the parent company of TikTok. That job was heavily exploitative, underpaid me, traumatized me, and had similar response times and workload. This is exploitative to subject content mods to.

Open death threats have remained up on this site for nearly a week at a time, but if you point out Jay followed Jonathan Chait or that Why is a hypocrite you're banned in less than 5 minutes

oh... so it really isn't that hard, huh? interesting.

Now I’m falling asleep and she’s calling a cob

How many videos have you seen of protesters being brutalized? Pretending this imagery still changes the math the way you wish it would is an insult to the people whose bodies you would treat as props. Ghandi's era was more complex than many of you make out. This is not the 60s either. Things change.

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

Spoken like a privilaged whitean that has never bothered to read the shared experiences of any minority. George Takei was put in a horse stall as a child due to FDR's policy; he's written extensively about it. Maybe you should do yourself a favor and actually read into these things.

Whenever I heard Comp Sci or Eng majors complain about taking humanities and ethics classes, here's a shining example why. We have cases of AI induced psychosis, but dummy engineer over here thinks being mean to AI is the same as the oppressive words we used to subjugate actual HUMANS! Shame on you.

Comparing trans/black/oppressed people to IA IS bigoted and part of the problem. You guys couldn't take two days of what those groups live daily

When you take a leadership position, that means that when people have complaints, they will lay them at your feet. Calling that “harassment” is an announcement of incompetence and weakness. You want people to populate your site/protocol where people share opinions, Jay …

You would think the "Technology" part of your acronymed title would imply that you have a somewhat high level understanding of how this stuff works? Right? Or is that for just the underpaid grunt workers to make fancy PowerPoints for you to explain those oh so difficult details?

Absolutely amazing that I've known teenagers who've moderated Minecraft servers better than whatever this sad PR response is.

We are all Eyeball Friend

Woke up this morning to more death threats, including one calling me a "vessel of Satan" and "tool of the devil" from someone calling themselves the "demon slayer." I'm so glad Kirk was someone who Ezra Klein said did politics the right way.

Kind of makes it seem like they think this guy is a conservative.

The discourse over Kirk’s career is really hammering home how little the media and so many Dems understand the concept of lying or bad faith arguments. An entire life dedicated to poisoning the well under the guise of ‘an exchange of ideas’ and nobody is capable of calling it out for what it was.

Sadly if MSM mention what Kirk said about Black people (not intelligent), gays (should be stoned to death), or women (should not access jobs or birth control) they will be fired for demonizing a “great man.”

All who eulogize this person positively & all media outlets martyring him, including the CEO of this app, you all KNOW you could roll out a scroll's worth of quotes like this attributed to him. You KNOW he stoked violence. In honoring him you stoke more. The rest of us now see how You think of us.

oh cool it’s stupider than i imagined

The CEO of Bluesky supports Charlie Kirk's statements. If Jay is reacting in this way over Kirk and not the Minnesota lawmakers who were slain a few weeks ago, then it's fair to say she is a supporter of these views.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

In his Oval Office address on political violence, Trump lists the attempt on his life, the Scalise shooting, and attacks on ICE agents. He does not mention Jan 6th, the attack on the Pelosi family, the Hortman murders, the kidnapping attempt on Gretchen Whitmer, or the fire at Gov Shapiro’s house.

The Wall Street Journal is now walking back its earlier reporting that "transgender ideology" messages were found on the shooter's ammunition. But it's too late. That story is all around the country and the world. Most who have read it will not see the update. Thanks, WSJ.

Just heard on Irish radio someone saying about Kirk, "he has been given a huge amount of empathy in death that he denied huge amounts of people in life".

Charlie Kirk say gay people like me should be stoned to death. Is that practicing politics the right way?

This is the person they are suspending people over btw

Sure does make it seem as if the president was participating in the organized sexual abuse of girl children.

I will never vote for the Rizzler.

‘gender activism’

I'm just imagining someone screaming during the 45 minute delay, "Get in suit Donnie!"

NATE SILVER WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF ME FUCKING YOUR MOM? ARE THEY HIGHER OR LOWER THAN DONALD TRUMP BEING DEAD RIGHT NOW?

"Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide in Article II of the United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948)". Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, genocide scholars' association says - www.reuters.com/world/middle...

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
