Oh, good… Nice to see how the “new” Bluesky Moderation is being handled.
A screenshot of a Community post from Jessie Gender.

“Gotta laugh to keep from being pissed - my Bluesky account got suspended - presumably because I did a post saying "I also wish ill to JK Rowling" in response to and solidarity with another trans person getting her account suspended for saying the same. So that's the state of things on Bluesky nowadays. It's ok though, JK Rowling can still actively use her money to harm trans people and also get a multibillion dollar tv series, don't worry!”

Below her text is a partial screencap from BlueSky moderation which reads:

Hi there,
A Bluesky account you control (@jessiegender.bsky.social) has engaged in activity that violates our community guidelines for violent or threatening speech. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:
• Threats of violence or physical harm: This includes threats or encouragement of violence against individuals, groups, institutions, or the general public.
• Incitement of self-harm or suicide: Content that encourages self-harm or suicide.
• Wishes of harm: Expressions of a desire for harm directed at a specific person or group.
In addition, users may not use Bluesky to break the law or cause harm to others. All users must be treated with respect.

This story is wild. The FBI violated a warrant & took an innocent woman’s life savings. They never said why—because they don’t have to. She sued to stop that. Her case was thrown out last week. So the feds can keep seizing people’s stuff without charges or explanation. reason.com/2025/07/28/t...
reason.com
The FBI took her $40,000 without explaining why. She fought back—and lost.
There is little accountability in civil forfeiture, which allows law enforcement to seize assets without charging the owner with a crime.

Any government that knowingly chooses not to try to stop a genocide, is complicit in that genocide. This is not rhetoric. After 21 months, this is criminal responsibility and leaders and officials will be held accountable sooner or later.

Half my career was spent doing lab research in support of this goal. To be privileged enough to see it reached is humbling. To be aware enough to know that this kind of success will be denied future researchers because of this administration is anguish.

I now know a couple of people whose mental illnesses were clearly exacerbated by AI chatbots. It's basically a machine built to affirm any notion you have, so it eggs on delusions. It isolates people and gives them God complexes. It's basically creating unlimited bespoke mental illnesses. Not great!
