[AI bubble bursts] billionaire tech bro: the stupid consumer did not understand it

Hello friends, my client Ernest Penfold has gotten into a spot of trouble again. He has been slapped with a 14-day ban over one of the other posts regarding the activities of a certain member of bluesky staff. He will be appealing this ban, so stay tuned for further updates.

everyone's favorite T&S pervert is still suspending people who made a joke two weeks ago or something lmao free @xaq.bsky.social

I didnt think it was possible to anyone to approach the level of pathetic reserved for Elon Musk, but the mod team here gets pretty close

Dude volunteered then went back as a merc for Blackwater. He sent himself, no one else did. Multiple times, once for kicks, once for money.

this is... wild actually? it's just been a birthright trip fund for east coast teens this entire time?

Look at all those safe NY democrats

Disgusting. Not unexpected, but still disgusting.

new outdoor pissing list just dropped

Nearly 50,000 people in the Lake Tahoe area have been told that their utility will stop providing power to them, because it's redirecting that power to data centers. /1

America's century of humiliation really pulling out all the stops.

hell yeah, time to pass & sign this shit, then it’s time for some class-action suits baaaaaaby

That statement how most Romans didnt know their empire had collapsed until one day a bridge collapsed and no one came to fix it, I think about it like every damn day

A local elected official is being sent to federal prison for posting articles a Chinese official asked her to post. Meanwhile members of Congress publicly pledge fealty to Israel, take money from that Governemnt thru AIPAC, vote its preferences, & face no legal exposure. We are Occupied by Israel.

@aaron.bsky.team @safety.bsky.app i have the antisocial justice warrior will stancil blocked; how do i give his account 4 strikes and a ban? (he is stalking me). he previously said he would “destroy me and my weird friends,”

You have protected extremely abusive individuals who engage in all sorts of harassment and pile-ons, and you have banned banned their victims.

hi aaron, quick question: multiple users have noticed your (as you know—public) likes well before your posts today clearly being a fan of what the user pictured has been saying. how has your affinity for this user in particular affected moderation decisions as a whole?

very cool the entire moderation system is built for Aaron Rodericks to maliciously suspend users, great website they've built here

Just for context, in the last ten days, it has been reported: - IDF killed hostages as part of a “kill all men in Gaza” rule - Microsoft is beginning to cut ties with Israel over use of targeting software - Sexual abuse is a key component to Israel’s oppression of Palestinians, going back decades

A CNN anchor was the first to run with the "babies in ovens" story on a major network and no retraction or apology was ever issued.

Sure would have been nice if Democrats did a single thing in '24 when Roe was overturned , or in '21 when Thomas was revealed to be incredibly corrupt n compromised and his wife helped plan January 6th

A tale of how moderation works around here, in two parts

Okay folks, things are pretty much wrapped up now. I'm posting this one last time, as I could absolutely use some help getting on top of the stuff listed below. But regardless, this should be the last time I'll be sharing this for a long time! Thank you so so so much to you all!

hiring two comms people and then continuing to post thru it on personal accounts gotta be the funniest strat i ever did see

Once again, I cannot permit an evasion of responsibility on behalf of admins.

Oh, well that oughta do it

So instead of 18 cents of every gallon going to fund building and maintaining infrastructure, including public transit, zero of it will go to those things. Plus any increase in gas prices that results goes 100% to oil companies.

"Look, all of my enemies HAPPEN to be trans, okay? GOD!"

Two of the white-est talentless unexceptional priviledged mommy and daddy wallet riding mother fuckers of white cis males that have ever drawn breath want you to know that there are no free passes based on identity. Send skeet.

this is straight up DARVO

"Within social media platforms, offenses against straight white guys are considered especially heinous. On Bsky, the dedicated mods who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories."

incredibly weird behavior for this website to allow one member of their team to singularly decide that any/all criticism of them is harassment to the level of a bannable TOS violation it cultivates an environment where no one is able to criticize bluesky and that makes everyone less safe

I'm fuckin shook. Jim doesn't use Gmail, so this was Microsoft's. And they both decided we are going to refer to each other by our first initial? And talk like we are cosplaying fighter pilots or something?

lol at anyone who doesn't realize Ay Ayrron, Billy Pencils and Stessy Jingal aren't all in the same TERF group chat

dude, if you can't be in dialogue with very lukewarm criticism from your community then you need to leave your fucking job detaching this quote is ridiculous and a sign of Aaron's total lack of professional accountability

it's really quite easy to run a website without becoming The Discourse, all it requires is enough professionalism to understand that Posting Dumbass Justifications For Your Bad Decisions only fuels the fire

Clyburn has spent his entire career doing nothing but diffuse progress and disenfranchise progressive politics, integral to forcing Joe Bidens lame duck presidency and all thats going to earn him is to have his house seat stolen from him from people who keep calling Biden a communist.

No, Aaron. I get you’re in a tough spot, but I cannot permit you to run from this.

More of a similarity between Singal & Stancil is that Stancil's been campaigning for days for the shunning of women and trans people he finds disagreeable; Bluesky's head of Trust & Safety signaled approval of Stancil's campaign; and a swathe of trans women got banned for questioning their behavior.

Apparently he did get banned for a brief beautiful moment

Reminder that Will Stancil got suspended for like ten minutes, only to *immediately get unsuspended* What presumably happened is that he got mass reported for admitting to ban evasion / inciting harassment, triggered an autoban, and then Bluesky staff went, "nope, can't ban our special boy!"

standard "trolls in the same group chat" behavior from the TERF Bois

aaron is irresponsible, lazy and dismissive toward people who have very reasonable complaints about his behavior. i think he should not be in any position of power or authority. also, my ex husband's name is aaron

Dismayed to find out the person who refused to ban LibsofTiktok from Twitter after she got a bomb threat called into an elementary school is not a good person
