That's... An interesting thing for your front page trivia section, Wikipedia

The past few hours have only reinforced this point, unfortunately. They really are petty, spiteful, childish ideologues who hate their users. And that makes them utterly incompetent in their charge as stewards of anything, let alone a social network in a time of cultural tension and upheaval.

"Hey so about Singal's TOS violati-" "WaFfLeS! lol u did a waffles everyone take a shot" "Look man I just wanna feel safe on this websit-" "'OOOH, I wAnNa fEeL sAfE, OOOH, pLz HeLp mE mOdS!!' lol get a life and let me eat the $30 breakfast plate I ordered specifically to post and spite you."

it’s really good when “technology of the future” treats you leaving as if you were leaving a cult

the Riddler if he were an age regressor online: Little me this batman

Wait, Tyler Cowen has been writing about how to find virgins since 2009 while he was a professor at George Mason University

notice how the default 'libertarian techbro' position is always WE have to be accepting of TERFs, WE have to be accepting of fascists, we're always the ones who must be tolerant, never that *they* need to stop being hateful bigots makes u think

It’s so annoying that we all have to just continually point out how rules around/between decorum and violation are applied asymmetrically to vulnerable groups versus the people who are always hassling them, and it’s extra insulting that the people in charge are trying to lol it away.

Just as an aside Bluesky has addressed exactly zero of the concerns raised by the open letter to them about their treatment of Palestinians including the one basically set up for them to have a PR win- providing their TOS in Arabic

Genuinely laughed out loud

Beyond anything else this is just the most childish possible reaction. "Teehee why are you mad I am just posting a picture of my breakfast" It's deeply immature and exactly the type of ololol troll behavior that everyone winced at Elon doing when he bought Twitter. Grow up and do better.

Here’s a thing I’ll add, as someone who’s been there: if you’re the CEO of a platform with millions of users, you don’t get to have as much fun on that platform, period. And your job is to eat shit every time a legitimate critique of policy comes up. That’s the gig. Don’t sign up if you aren’t game.

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?

one of my pieces for boys with tits ☀️

I think the thing that pisses me off the most is that singal is literally quoted in anti trans legislation, so his threats (unlike those from the left) WERE actionable. they're being implemented as law. he didn't just threaten the lives of trans people, he executed the stated plans to do so

Once again: Hegseth is the exact type of guy The Art of War was written for, which means he will never read it

We need to distinguish better between true giftedness and merely being smart and from a literate family. Many children who are truly gifted have spiky profiles of ability. They are highly advanced in some areas while needing support in others (including socialization). Many are also on the spectrum.

It's so fascinating to me how the suits running all these big entertainment companies seemingly just have no clue why people actually listen to music or watch movies or look at any type of art

what about the juni issue 👉👈 I've been trying to stay on topic and respectful with all of my questions but it's been almost a year and I still haven't gotten a response from anyone at bluesky telling me how or what in the ToS I broke with my bot last year that would've caused me to get permabanned..

When one of your users gets repeatedly cited by the supreme court as support for the anti-trans legislation they're passing, its time to reconsider everything you thought you knew about ToS violations.

CEO: we're all trying to improve this place You: so you're gonna kick out the guy who keeps trying to kill me, right CEO: You: You're gonna kick out the guy who has literally helped kiwifarms target me personally, right CEO: WAFFLES

damn i think maybe the person jack dorsey hand picked might sort of suck in the same ways as jack dorsey

A lot of people learned the shorthand Dolls and just assumed it meant A - all trans women and B - that using it in conversations or on T shirts was a sign that you're cool with the transgenders

i was one of those kids they wanted to send to university at 14 shut da fuck up

does anyone even care anymore that this is so straightforwardly illegal

kinda feel like when you start expressing open contempt for your user base you’re working against your stated goal of making social media better

We tried to warn people that a lot of the Harper's letter signers were wildly, obviously hypocritical on the subject of free speech, and the response was "who cares? They'r3 still right about the fucking commies"

We are losing something by having newsrooms where everyone who has more than a few years’ experience has gotten fired. I don’t fault a young writer for not knowing about things that happened before she was born. But now there are no editors to help give context to these stories, either.

See, the thing is, Singal did violate the TOS, unambiguously. An then Bluesky changed it to accommodate him. You know this to be the case; you were there just as much as I was. So you're telling a lie. And you know it to be a lie. And that kind of makes you look like a shithead. I'm just saying.

you've got absolutely zero right to call us that you fucking freak

I don’t know man lot of people have been capriciously banned or suspended for not violating the ToS, it’s clearly less about that and more about a personal point of pride and not letting your user base win. Kinda hard to read it any other way.

the mods of this place will strangle it to death trying to avoid it having the reputation it already has and unavoidably will always have

your core users are people who have already demonstrated a willingness to abandon a more popular social media site for another, in the most part for disliking the politics of the people who run it. write this on a big whiteboard somewhere in the office

the linked article is a great breakdown of why Bluesky isn't actually decentralized despite all the noise to the contrary and why and doing what Jay wants us to do if we don't like their horseshit here—take our ball and go home—isn't feasible unless we've got a shitload of money

The timeline of the "conservatives learned cancel culture from liberals" narrative doesn't line up either. At the height of the cancel culture panic, Republicans were banning 'divisive concepts' in school curricula! They haven't stopped being censorious since McCarthy
