Twitter is now X Pathetic

Why are y’all still bragging about not being on Twitter You’re still on a platform that doesn’t apologize for letting Bombs fly , work in racist workspaces and demand free labor from Black people Like every Black person is an intern and you still have less Black people than the GOP chill

Y’all don’t understand cause you’re not devs: ChatGPT was down the last two days so they had to wait a while to get a response for their “milquetoast apology that comes across as half-assed” prompt. Learn how to code, losers

Mutual Aid Thread/Thread of support for Sex Workers. Please elevate, repost, and contribute. I recognize how Sex Work is a serious job and to risk one's livelihood in solidarity means a lot. I stand with Sex Workers forever and always. Please comment your links.

No one can make thinkpieces or say otherwise because one gave us what we already suspected: The team has awareness.

Bryan's apology also solidified what many others felt: The team is aware of Black people's support to them and how trust was lost and hurt was done: And actively chose to not care, except for Bryan who said enough is enough. So we were right.

💩💩💩

While we at it: Mutual aid for Black people thread: There’s Black people on here with needs to be met that deserve visibility and help. Check comments here as people post their links. Repost everywhere. Thank you 💕

if you code or have a github account, today is a great day to leave the bluesky developers some helpful feedback on relevant portions of the website's source code about how to improve the user experience for Black people. they WILL see it :)))))) let's work together using the power of open source!

AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE? The folks saying "it's only a beta, calm down," are ignoring that even if this was a beta, the point of a beta is to gather feedback. *gestures around at the skyline* This is what feedback looks like. The vehemence of it is part of the data they're gathering.

That post is from May 22. Bluesky has /trippled/ its user base since then. They've had time. This is a choice.

Apologize to the black community and stop trying to sweep things under the rug Bluesky. Take some accountability for the protection of your user base.

We keep going until Bluesky writes a fucking apology to Black users on here and their failure on addressing antiblackness. We keep going until Bluesky hires trust and safety personnel.

Tech is NOT neutral nor apolitical AND addressing this is T&S and content moderation 101 and to have failed at this for so long is inexcusable Also @bsky.app it’s long past time for leadership to apologize & seek to make amends with the communities they INVITED here but weren’t prepared to support

They don’t mean well when they repeatedly flopped. Please know we are past that grace period . https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/08/blueskys-growing-pains-strain-relationship-with-its-black-community-moderation/

A missed opportunity to acknowledge an outrageous failure and to articulate a broader vision of how the bluesky team will lead aggressively rather than play catch-up halfheartedly

If you're enjoying Bluesky and you don't want it to turn into the cesspool of hate that Twitter did, you best speak up now. Cut that 'I don't know what to say' shit out and amplify Black and queer voices, because the BS team ain't listening to us.

It should go without saying, but people are confusing an alpha and a beta. An alpha is where you make sure you have basic function and usability. A beta is where you see if you're ready to go public. You test every system with users, BECAUSE THOSE SYSTEMS ARE IN PLACE.

Solidarity matters

“still in beta” ⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️

If literal horrible out of pocket slurs can be used names and not even have any sense of filter or barrier: What makes me feel confident they can handle Nazis and transphobes? They can’t even do the most elementary internet shit. That’s why it’s alarming.

Not posting bc we are on strike sucks, sure, but imagine how it feels to be unsafe here because the most basic racist things aren’t addressed? People shouldn’t have to fight for basic human decency every step of the way, everywhere. This needs to be addressed. WE KEEP GOING

Apparently also accurate for Bluesky itself if it doesn't get it's shit together.

Fuck the vibes if my Black community can’t vibe too

When Black people fight for safety and a space being fun It’s for **everyones** benefit. Always.

Gotta raise this all this week for emergency because of rent. So am worried now 😞

The people who say "you'll get more conservative as you get older" are the people with something to lose if you don't

@eepy.bsky.social please add me to the list of gardeners so everyone can see this tiny tiny pepper i grew 🌶️ 🌱

they really need an extension for following all the twitter mutuals that you interacted with maybe once or twice in your life but would defend with heavy weaponry if the time came
