Reposted by Alex ConwayFaine Greenwood @faineg.com · 11/12/2024Bluesky needs to ban Jesse Singal. He’s a notorious bad-faith actor who we *know* uses social media to harass and attack vulnerable people. Letting Singal remain here is a violation of Bluesky’s own stated policies, IMO. He should not be allowed to once again work the refs. 463448834 0
Reposted by Alex ConwayMicah @rincewind.run · 10/12/2024some thoughts on the Singal situation, as it seems to be moving towards "nobody says anything and he stays on the platform": I think this is a mistake, and I think it risks losing much of what made bluesky special and taking away one of the few safe-ish spaces trans people have left on the internet 633704897 0
