Donald Trump can't even fix a pool properly. How's he supposed to fix America? Oh, wait. He hasn't, and he never will. Wake the fuck up already, MAGA.

Boycotting food because it's Halal has got to to be one of the absolute dumbest and pointless things fakeass Christian MAGA morons have ever tried to do, and they've done some pretty stupid things. Most of this is just performative outrage for views, anyway. They have no sense.

Watching the far right get their panties in a bunch over Tillamook is both laughable and pathetic at the same time. Clown show, example #7516785460.

Aaron, simply *referencing* camps when talking to someone who is under the sort of existential threat that trans people are should be unacceptable. it doesn't need to be a "direct threat".

I'm just going to say I disagree. Telling trans people they will be sent to concentration camps does constitute a threat, especially when coming from cis people who hold immense amounts of privilege over us structurally in society. You even admit it's awful that we've been targeted here in America-

the post you referenced *was* saying trans ppl deserve to be sent to the camps. are you saying that isn’t a threatening message targeted at a protected category? or that it is one and you just don’t care. if it’s the former, you cant read and shouldn’t be moderating websites. if its the latter, wtf.

This response should be instant removal from his position. It is not just tone deaf, it tone deaf to the degree that it paints the company itself in a bad light. If the standard for toxicity is wide enough to include that statement than there is no standard at all.

Hi @aaron.bsky.team! One of the Jewish users of your site here! Just wanting some clarification that threatening or hoping to send a specific group of people to a concentration camp is NOT considered a threat, & is fine? Is that correct? Could you also clarify trans not being a protected category?

It is extremely, EXTREMELY, insensitive to descendants of the Holocaust to in any way downplay the seriousness of talking about people being "sent to camps", a statement that should not be normalized in any way at all. Ever. Because of all the people that died, Aaron.

I remember a prominent account being suspended for saying the world would be a better place if Elon Musk was dead, but taunting trans people with camps (where they would die, presumably) is like, just speech that we neeeeeeed. Moderation is always arbitrary, but man are trans people unvalued here.

I did not have on my bingo card today that Bluesky’s head of trust and safety would come out and say that it’s not a threat or a bannable offense to say trans people should be send to camps. But remember, it IS a bannable offense to say AI is a dogshit technology promoted by idiots.

so the official bluesky policy position is that you can't tell someone to kill themselves but you can tell a protected minority category that you hope that state kills them. Am i getting that right.

Legitimately amazing this guy doesn't consider that a direct threat or targeting a protected category. Not a great way for the trust and safety guy to build trust and safety. And moderation here is still a joke.

Are they threatening trans users directly? No. Trans folks in the US have been targeted repeatedly. That's awful and you have my sympathy. Within the context of a single post we wouldn't consider it a direct threat or targeting a protected category. Ie send trans folks to concentration camps.

For context here, a user was responding in a thread to other users (unrelated to the original post) when they used the phrase "Trans rights or Trans camps. You chose the camps and you're blaming Dems" followed by profanity. > is this user toxic? undeniably yes.

Now tell the class how an AI program "learned" how to help in the first place. There is useful AI out there. The Linux example is not the slop. It's all the fake genAI crap, the shitty images, the stolen content used to make it, the incorrect "AI Mode" responses. That's the slop.

As a young professor one of the reasons I was a stalwart defender of appropriate use of Wikipedia is because it is meticulously sourced. Which is the exact opposite of LLMs complete black box inscrutability. This is a terrible comparison.
