1200 sexual assault reports in 6 years. That’s 1 every 2 days. Only 7 resulted in an expulsion or dismissal. Only 14 resulted in a suspension. Cornell is a rapist factory. Drive it out of business. Also, only 5-13% of college women who are assaulted report it. That’s 5-6 assaults a day.

they also got incredibly pissed off when the sunrise movement was expressing pro-palestine views too. not because they were super concerned with climate change activism, but because they didn't want people anywhere to support palestine. it's really hard to be a pro-tech person at this stage, i guess

would you believe that a lot of pro-AI people are mad that these causes are all aligned? they seem to think it's unfair to care about multiple things that all impact each other

that's not what you said in that thread either, though. where in the thread (that starts with this post linked below) did you specify why the person was suspended? the only definitive statements you make are that they were "toxic" and that they didn't threaten anyone. the rest is very vague.

be honest: do you feel that you've personally helped or hindered the trans population of this app? to an observer it looks more like the trans population exists in spite of your best efforts.

this motte and bailey attempt to simply elide the critiques you cannot handle in favor of pointing to something we all agree is unacceptable is pretty glaringly obvious at this point. just be honest instead of doing this dance over and over again.

Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
you'll instead point to death threats you received, which (nearly) everyone agrees is something you should absolutely be moderating out of existence
110
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
and that's, again, the bias critique that you refuse to ever acknowledge has any merits whatsoever

Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
and this lack of preparedness always seems to point to the right of your userbase, which leads your userbase to believe you guys are pretty pissed off that you have the userbase you have.

Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
you guys are simply unprepared for what happens societally when bad people die, and it might be because some of you think they're not bad people (despite, you know, them being virulent bigots)

Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
ok but you did the same thing on the anniversary as well. isn't the point to learn from past mistakes? there were people suspended for a whole week for saying "merry kirkmas" and things like that

Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
certainly. and what are the facts about what happened?
000
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
it feels like your moderation standards are weighted much more heavily around lack of perceived politeness and much less heavily around protecting marginalized people from polite bigotry, and you are deliberately missing that critique over and over again

even the person you’re replying to here is very earnestly telling you that your thread suggested to them the exact opposite of what you intended
090
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
you keep saying that many misread your posts deliberately with seemingly no evidence. it can’t just be that your thread wasn’t clear to many people. it has to be that they’re lying or stupid if they disagree with you.

and those other people might be the ones being abused in their situation. again, there’s no universal perspective. different people have different interactions with the same person.

Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
what did i invent you saying? or did you just invent that
000
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
who’s opposing any of the actual abuse? you and the other guy seem to love beating up that strawman.

social media has cooked a lot of people’s brains to the point where they are just constantly barking at people on the other side of the fence from them on whatever topic they find themselves on, but none more than people who have convinced themselves their perspective is the only important one

you’re not playing a single player video game against a bunch of NPCs. everyone around you also has interiority and varying motives and just like you some are good and some are not so good.

Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
i get that you guys need it to always be the case that you are The Good Guys but that’s a facile understanding of the world, to the point where people will question your ability to do just about anything without having a meltdown at people who disagree with you
200
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
yes, and so does telling people they are stupid for identifying that more than one person can suck
120
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
you’re engaging in a bad faith defense of someone that you guys have bent over backwards to build carve-outs to defend, because it is happening to other people and not you. this is a thing you complained about in your thread from a couple weeks ago bsky.app/profile/aaro...

wiser to allow for other perspectives into your calculus

Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
from another person’s perspective, you or aaron might be the absolute piece of shit though. that’s the thing about perspective that you guys keep discounting. there’s an insistence from a lot of tech guys lately that their perspective is just the objective canon experience of the world

Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
when you conflate all of that with what the person you’re currently talking to said, it makes you come across as the unreasonable one, not them. figure out your personal shit on your own time, because people are asking you in your capacity as an employee of the company you’re representing

Aaron Rodericks the man can block whoever he likes, but Aaron Rodericks the head of T&S for a pretty well-funded startup (please shut the fuck up about how much of a little guy you are) should probably not prevent large swathes of users from seeing posts that are official site policy

he's truly unwilling to understand how this is also really wild to conflate death threats and people calling him transphobic as in any way similarly harassing
040
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
but like i said earlier, at this point it does appear you're simply unwilling to acknowledge that good-faith disagreements occur. so good luck with that. i disagree.
030
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
like i said, people read things differently. you aren't doing it maliciously, nor am i. you gotta be able to understand this
120
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
that's saying that the repeated nature of the attacks is harassment.
120
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
that's literally not what he was talking about though. again, you're reading this differently from how others read it. you took this statement and turned it into "is it harassment? yes" "More broadly, does repeatedly attacking someone in a thread count towards harassment? Yes."
120
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
i'm saying you cannot stand any valid disagreement. you're doing it again here
020
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
so we are just left with that it's not a threat, a threat would be "i'm going to send all trans people to camps". and i disagree with this assessment as well.
120
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
because the rest of the thread doesn't say anything about the harassment vs threat nature of the statement "enjoy the camps"
120
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
oh sorry, i should have said anyone in the audience who disagrees with them is simply either too stupid *or lying*.
010
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
it seems both you and aaron share this trait.
110
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
some people just really really cannot stomach any disagreement, and must instead issue declarations that anyone in the audience who disagrees with them is simply too stupid.
210
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
and i disagree, because i've read the whole thing and none of the rest changes the meaning of any of the words he wrote in that post
240
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
now feel free to put the shackles on me and lead me to the stockades for "misinterpreting" your posts as well officer
130
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
you're doing the exact behavior described here by the way, by simply disallowing any other interpretation of the posts to be reasonable
130
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
and i disagree with your reading. it happens.
130
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
i don't think it's reasonable to decide they're simply being unreasonable
030
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
again, you read it differently than they did. and i believe you.
130
Willie Dustice @wdustice.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
if people took away that it was fine to tell everyone to enjoy the camps, i'd believe them. if people took away that it was fine to only tell trans people that, i'd believe them as well. what i wouldn't do is insist that everyone who disagreed with the thread's points was acting in bad-faith
