As you can see in this screenshot, not only are AJ Link's post and profile still available elsewhere, he is still posting (though seemingly less happily) freedom of speech unimpeded

the current ownership/moderation for this site has been low-key anti-Black, anti-trans, and anti-SWer for years (even though these are the groups most responsible for their early success)

I started using Reddit because bad actors took over Facebook. I started using Twitter because bad actors took over Reddit. I started using Bluesky because because bad actors took over Twitter. I'll start using the next thing because now this thing is busted too.

If you are sympathetic to the years-long failures of bluesky moderation towards Black people, SWers, and trans folk, feel free to join me Friday anywhere but here.

I feel like Friday 10/10 would be a wonderful day to log off of Bluesky for 24 hours and spend the day touching grass.

Just because you can start a social media website doesn't make you fit to be its leader... ☕

She banned Link for sharing a Ch*rlie K*rk meme under the pretense of wishing harm.

I'm tired of people who just want a payday pretending to be leaders.

4 panel comic

Panel 1:
A Purple person is standing holding a clipboard. A Blue Person sits at a laptop.
Blue Person: Woohoo. I’m the CEO of a social media platform.

Panel 2:
Purple person: We should hire a PR person to interact with the public
Blue Person begins to type on laptop and says: Nope. Gonna do all that myself

Panel 3:
Purple person looks concerned and says: Really…but…

Panel 4:
Purple person: You’re such a whiny little fucking baby

I'm a busy gotdamn adult so I don't got the time to make it happen, but imagine if every user who was Black, trans, or a swer just up and stopped posting. How delicious that petty silence would be 😇😇😇

wouldn't it be funny if we all stopped using bluesky at the same time for 24 hours just to fuck with them

Jay is talking about making “billionaire proof “ socials

But the actual issues raised are

- anti Palestinian racism
- unclear applications of Adult material
- unclear moderation
- anti Black racism
- unresponsive mods
- poor communication
- a history of granting unequal access

Link was a scholar and activist offline and online. He had one of the most popular accounts and used his influence to try to make this a more welcoming community to people of various backgrounds. He was critical of bsky moderation's recent decisions, and they made up a reason to suspend his account.

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

I appreciate all the people showing love and support to me. I’m so grateful honestly. It means a lot. The ban isn’t that big of a deal for me. I think it was wrong and the explanation was bullshit. But that’s ok and I accept. Social media comes and goes. I’m grateful for all the connections I was able to make and all the people I get to be connected with off Bluesky. More importantly, the world needs more people to give a fuck. More people to give a fuck about Palestinians, more people to give a fuck about disabled folks, more people to give a fuck about our queer and trans siblings, more people to give a fuck about Black liberation. The world, and Bluesky, is full of bootlickers who will do anything to avoid doing anything to upset the status quo. These people are cowards groveling to those in power in hopes of protection. I just hope people continue to show love and care and kindness. Mutual aid is so important. Give when you can, boost when you can. We only survive this together.

i think it is fair to request a statement from @jay.bsky.team on TRANS PEOPLE and where we fit in on @bsky.app.

i think as a transgender journalist, it's acceptable and makes sense for me to ask this

and so, the question, am i not a person as a trans girl and do i not deserve to feel safe here?
