It’s great you care of course. As you should! Just wanted you to know:

Users have been watching the team and really not playing about making this place palatable.

Making one concentrated thread people can bookmark to be aware of things that happened on BlueSky. Others are free to throw in things that can be left out. Just posting articles I know of but to not have things scattered anymore (regard antiblackness , moderation,etc)

More articles because important to give proof.

Bluesky’s growing pains strain its relationship with Black users | TechCrunch

Bluesky is facing increased pressure to crack down on hateful and violent rhetoric, even though robust moderation conflicts with its decentralized goals.

Aveta👾🇭🇹 @aliafonzy.blacksky.app · 16m

Which fair it may not matter much,

But best believe there’s articles to show how user base been on the team’s ass since invite-only stage. Things that are noted, are not unnoticed.

I don’t know what’s more troubling, the fact that the COO of BlueSky is a closet bigot or that she’s one of those people that follows all the bot accounts.

The COO of bluesky, Rose, is following the heritage foundation account on bluesky.

Soyweiser @soyweiser.bsky.social · 3h

She is the COO en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_o... of bsky. This is worrying because after the 'we are turning waffles into an anti-trans thing' by the CEO the CEO started to follow a transphobe. Shows a pattern.

Wonder when we find out one of them follows the discovery institute.

non-black users using the blacksky.app handle is a bannable offense

BUT non-black users are welcome to join the blacksky SERVERS (not the blacksky feed) under either "myatproto.social" or "cryptoanarchy.network" handles

At first the Discord hack didn’t seem that bad because it was initially the third party help desk.

But then you find out they had got there age verification data. Come to find out they got 1.5 TB of government id and age verification data. This is going to become a case against age verification.

I’ve been reading the protocol docs and there’s a lot of stuff in there that just feels kinda weird until you consider that the authors’ main reference for distributed systems is crypto

someone needs to do a thorough writeup of every clear tell of atproto as a blockchain project that pivoted, because their 2025 reflex is to deny it as hard as possible even though they're all coiners and so much of it reeks of blockchain

Here’s the thing about social media moderation: you need to have both a provision and a practice of keeping people off your platform even if they don’t break any of your rules but are simply just a fucking asshole. And of course off-platform behavior is a legitimate reason.

bluesky decentralization in action:

- bluesky the corp bans a user
- user’s data is alive on their blacksky PDS, an indie server
- blacksky will deploy their own API server which will bring back the user to everyone else
- user keeps their data, identity, followers. nothing is lost

Rudy wants revolution. @rude1.blacksky.team · 17h

TL; DR
In the next 5 business days you should be able to go to Link's page on blacksky.community and see his posts and he'll be able to post but people using the bsky mobile apps won't see it.
After that we'll get Blacksky-only posts up.
After that we can talk about purging bsky mod tools
