So, how do we coordinate a mass account deletion?

Jesse yelled “please message me”. Within 90 minutes (probably much faster) safety did message him. We know this because if you now search a certain address there will be no hits at all. Also from the research done by @mastone.bsky.social.
So yes. Jesse has a direct line to safety’s team.

I read a post hypothesing BlueSky is keeping a certain asshole "journalist" on the platform for fear of legal retribution.
This scans.
But so does making sure we keep the pressure on to make sure said "journalist" is kept on a tight fucking leash. (Which it looks like he might already be breaking)

So much of parenting is just straight up bullying, echoed endlessly across the generations. A Mark of Cain, ripping across all of us, never dwindling, never diminishing.
And we will never be better until the cycle is broken completely. We have only begun this work in the last 70 or so years.

I was spanked as a child.
Let me tell you how effective it was...
...it wasn't.
It made me afraid of and alienated from my parents.
Spanking was a great motivator for me to hide things from my parents.
That's it.
Hitting children is bad parenting (not to mention abuse).

As police hunted for the missing gunman in a fatal “targeted attack” on the CEO of UnitedHealthcare in Manhattan on Wednesday morning, social media erupted with contempt for the health insurance industry he represented—and his company in particular:
Americans Have Little Sympathy for Murdered Health Insurance Exec
Americans expressed virtually no sympathy for the apparently targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO by mystery gunman in New York.
