It says a lot about the the Bluesky moderating team that my first overreach censorship was being a nonbinary person indicating that it is nobody's business what gender I was born as, the fucking enby and transphobes that moderate this site.

As glad as I am that many people I like on Bluesky are also now on Mastodon which I've been on longer, I'm going to use content warnings even more than I already do just because of how annoying so many of them find the idea of self-moderation.

I've maintained a Mastodon account I post unique things to everyday because I like the people I know on there but more importantly I always thought Bluesky would go to shit. I just thought it'd be ads that did that, not the right-wing moderating team before ads were even introduced.

Yeah. It must suck for them to realize that their site is only successful because of all the people they don't like.

That's what happens when a bunch of Ayn Rand-worshipping techbros realize their platform has been taken over by a userbase who don't completely suck in all ways.

Apparently, everything gets the Rude tag now.

Bluesky is such a joke.

One thing I really hate is Pokemon TCG scalpers. It is a children's game. For CHILDREN. Not a way for greedy assholes to jack up prices and make it impossible for CHILDREN to get the new sets.

"Non-binary AMAB person."

"Non-binary AFAB person."

As a non-binary person who hates to be reduced to my AGAB, please shut the fuck up.

This is just misgendering with extra steps.

At this point in my life, I have a very hard time giving a shit what happens at Daytona, Talladega, or Atlanta until like the last 10 laps. They stupid tracks with stupid racing that ultimately means very little about a driver's skill set beyond some specialists.

This site would actually be better if it had more voices from across the political spectrum, and efforts to push out right wing accounts are only entrenching Twitter/X's dominant position in the political discourse.
