So, you are saying people should be abused by others on a daily basis, the problem is them not us. They push hate, they allow people to be abused, attacked, stalked, it takes its toll on people. It is not opposing viewpoints, its vile and hateful ffs. #NoHate

Thread. I particularly want to put a spotlight on David's point that measuring the success of a site on its (direct) political impact is reductive. Bluesky has a critical mass of artists and creators and a lot of very good things, for individual creators and for the culture, could come from that.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this: Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius. If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

If your religious beliefs are so fragile that the existence of other people who live differently feels threatening to your way of life, then that’s not a reflection on their values, it’s a reflection on yours.

I don't talk about how the pain and my depression intersect at times to make it so very difficult to keep going. I don't talk about how having pieces of myself disappear makes me feel like a burden, or how much of my life is mourning loss after loss. Or how sometimes spite isn't even enough.
