Edmund Edgar @goat.navy · 9hI feel like a policy that would solve a lot of abuse problems on bsky would be to ban anyone who is rude to Aaron. The hammer emoji types think they're in charge of the website. We don't need a better way to hide their stuff, we needs a practical statement that they are not in charge of the website 130
Edmund Edgar @goat.navy · 29/09/2026It was such an unexpected response, the corruption was all well-known beforehand but nobody paid any attention, then the whole country takes a look at this guy and says, "ok, come to think of it, he's got a point, this is pretty fucked up" 111

Yielding technological improvements to the adversary will have predictable outcomes. I’m really worried it will lock in power centralization in a way that will be impossibly hard to reverse.

Edmund Edgar @goat.navy · 22/09/2026The combination of this and the way bsky blocking works is why bsky churns out tribes of people who are confidently wrong.

Edmund Edgar @goat.navy · 21/09/2026Sure, I'm not saying you should, just that the fee isn't enough to prevent smart punters making money off the mugs they keep pulling in.
