A year later, 2 bluesky devs will suddenly pop up in a random trans woman's mentions and start angrily relitigating the whole gooning on the job incident. Again, already happened, years ago.

One dev, whose job is not comms, will say something *extremely* stupid and condescending and inflammatory, and the reflexive response will be to ban a dozen random trans women. Happened before, they can't help themselves.

What will then happen, inevitably, is at least 3 bluesky devs will start posting their own heinous, condescending, and stupid shit, and then ban people responding angrily to *that* This again has already happened, over and over, for years.

Guarantee the very first person this applies to will end up being like, Gretchen Felker-Martin, who will not have even interacted with the person saying fucked up stuff. That's bluesky's reflexive mod strategy, going back years.

prescription drug coverage is some of the most demonic shit you will ever encounter in your life. my doctor prescribed me a medication and somehow there are now at least two third-party corporations involved for no apparent reason and nobody knows what is going on or what needs to be done

the dual purpose of "our AI is getting too powerful!" is firstly to generate hype & secondly to provide a reason to scale it down that isn't uh oh, this nonsense is very expensive and we can't figure out a way to make a profit with it

name dropping Aaron Rodericks so he can namesearch, and throwing in #teen for good measure. his poor decision-making and obvious disdain for large swaths of the platform's users are the primary reason i do not believe in bluesky or the vision of ATproto. i'll be downloading my CAR file just in case.

permanently push me off, because i never want bluesky to see a single dime from me. i'm just posting into the void. i've dialed my use of bluesky back in the past, and i'm doing so again, not that it matters. i'm tired of moderation making constant bad decisions and acting like god's gift to earth.

alternative hosts that rely on the parts of the core service — or the webview — aren't independent despite constant, empty posturing about how "open" bluesky is. i haven't used bluesky for much more than barely keeping up with accounts i follow and posting half-baked joke posts that i wouldn't...

i'm going to level with you here, bluesky's moderation team has soured me on the platform over the past year (and a half?). and frankly, on the idea of "mass" social media as a whole. it's hard not to when it's the same power-tripping-imps bullshit that's as old as the internet...

the reason you never see indie social media is the same reason you never see small telecom companies. it's too much fucking infrastructure. and it's always owned and operated by these same kinds of petulant pussy baby losers who think harassment is when people say they're mad at you.

"do your own moderation!" and "make your own instance!" are hogwash. they're empty bad faith platitudes. "just make your own PDS! and your own relay! and your own appview! and host all of them! and then you'll finally be safe from the petulant baby tirades from our pathetic C-suite losers!"

Kids should be learning that AI output isn’t trustworthy, where it really comes from, and how it’s disrupting our ability to tell what’s real. They shouldn’t be learning that AI will make them more efficient or do their work for them because it can’t. That would be propaganda, not education
