Don't typically do this, but this is a really good friend of mine. He's the kind of dude that is there to help anyone else without question when they need it, but he's going to need some help now. Thank you if anyone even throws a few bucks his way.

I think ultimately Leto will be what makes me choose to not see the new Tron movie, and I really like Tron stuff.

Funny how this is the only post I've found from a Bluesky employee with the word "trans" made in the past 12 months. We can definitely trust this teams unbiased opinion that the biggest transphobe here hasn't broken any rules.

T'es woke toi. Toi t'es un woke left. Tu supporte les trans pis les pronoms toi. Veux tu savoir mes pronoms? Mes pronoms:

Bleu pis rose. Toi c'est quoi tes pronoms hein? Vas-y: Dis moj tes pronoms. Joe / Bi / Den? Ru / Paul? J'vas prier pour toi

English translation of previous post:
You're woke. You're a woke leftist. You support trans people and pronouns. Do you want to know my pronouns? My pronouns:
Qué / bec
Fran / çais
Bar / be / cue
Go / Habs / Go
Blue and pink. What are your pronouns, huh? Go ahead: Tell me your pronouns. Joe / Bi / Den? Ru / Paul? I'm going to pray for you.

I don't know why anyone would question sending several teams to go attempt to save SG-1, Carter alone is probably the most important asset Stargate Command has.

Every large-scale platform is run by techno-fascists, that's just reality. This is the only social media I'm on because the community of good people is strong and important but it's also vulnerable to the whims of those in charge, who aren't our friends. Best to keep that in mind.

Unfortunate update: Link reached out to BlueSky and got email back now on reason.

His appeal is denied. He will remain permanently banned on BlueSky’s side.

Here are the screenshots he just sent me as of 8:22 AM EST(my time)

A screenshot of an email from the Bluesky Moderation Team with the subject line “Bluesky Account Behavior” sent at 22:15. The email states that a Bluesky account controlled by the recipient, with the handle @spacelawshitpost.me, posted a reply with an image where the alt text reads: Charlie Kirk sitting in a white T-shirt that says “Freedom.” A negative consequence follows. The email indicates this post violates Community Guidelines regarding violent or threatening speech, specifically listing threats of violence or physical harm against individuals, groups, institutions, or the general public, and incitement of self-harm or suicide.

A screenshot of an email continuation from the Bluesky Moderation Team displaying a bulleted list of Community Guidelines violations. The first bullet point describes threats of violence or physical harm as including threats or encouragement of violence against individuals, groups, institutions, or the general public. The second bullet point defines incitement of self-harm or suicide as content that encourages self-harm or suicide. The third bullet point explains wishes of harm as expressions of a desire for harm directed at a specific person or group. Below the bullets, a paragraph states that users may not use Bluesky to break the law or cause harm to others and that all users must be treated with respect. The next paragraph informs the recipient that as a result of these violations, your account has been taken down. A closing paragraph thanks the user for doing their part to keep Bluesky a welcoming and empowering place for all users and instructs them to email moderation@blueskyweb.xyz if they have questions or wish to appeal the decision. The email ends with the signature Bluesky Moderation Team.

A screenshot of an email from the Bluesky Moderation Team sent at 08:11 with the subject line Re: Bluesky Account Behavior addressed To: Hide My Email. The email reads:

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out to appeal the takedown of your account on Bluesky. We have carefully reviewed your case, including the information you provided and the activity that led to the suspension of your account.

After investigating, we have determined that your account activity was in violation of our community guidelines, specifically promoting hateful content or being disruptive to other users. We take these guidelines seriously to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all our users.

As a result, we regret to inform you that your appeal has been denied, and your account will remain suspended. This decision is final and cannot be reversed. We understand that this may be disappointing news, but we must prioritize the well-being of our community and maintain a consistent enforcement of our policies. We encourage you to review our community guidelines to better understand the expectations we have for user behavior on our platform. Please do not create new accounts, since those will be taken down for ban evasion.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

So much to mourn here. ICE shot and killed a single father just after he has dropped his two kids off at daycare. Their justification for stopping him was traffic violations form 12 years ago. Their justification for shooting him was that he was driving away.

A completely needless tragedy.

David Bier @davidjbier.bsky.social · 7d

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

caylen @caylen.bsky.social · 5d

it probably feels like harassment when it’s the early adopting, high engagement users who spent years being your strongest advocates are calling you out for some shitty practices and staffing decisions

the path of interpreting that feedback as “harassment” is exactly how communities fail
