    I am confused by this. In the context screenshot, you are banned for a post. This is a picture of a waffle. How are these things related? Does the CEO even know that you were banned?

      It’s not about me. ‘Waffles’ was her stupid reaction to users asking her about moderating transphobia and nazi hate speech on her site.

        Literally just

        “We agree that social media shouldn’t be this way, so you’re going to ban these cyberbullies turning bluesky into something you say you don’t want, right?”

        “Whoa whoa whoa! I NEVER SAID THAT! That’s totally different!”

        How dense can someone be? And why does she want to protect trolls so badly?

          from what i’ve gathered between this post and some posts on the hexbear mastodon instance, the C suite at bluesky are going directly out of their way to continue platforming some abusive transphobe despite sustained and deafening backlash. and they’re doing so with this silly fash rhetoric of the fundamental unreasonability of asking for bigots to be removed.

            I got excited when people started leaving twitter and there was an uptik on mastodon but then the vast majority of people wound up on bluesky and hey maybe they could have seen this coming

          People assuming that everyone is following Twitter drama. I’m guessing there’s 4 levels of explanation needed to understand why I should be angry. I didn’t even think bluesky was popular.
