Bluesky suspending antifascist researchers for sharing publicly available information about literal nazis.
Should be no surprise considering bsky constantly protects nazis, the far right, and all flavors of bigotry at the expense of Palestinians and trans women.
Fortunately, their information already spread so far and wide that at least half of the Blood Tribe nazis lost their jobs following the mass doxx. Chris Pohlhaus, leader of BT, estimated financial losses at over $2 million lol. Happy holidays!
It quickly became clear that users understood something Bluesky didn’t: Bluesky couldn’t code away social problems on the app. At some point, Bluesky’s leadership would have to do something about users who were openly racist, transphobic, misogynist, or otherwise abusive.
Nevertheless, the CEO’s solution was something she called “compostable moderation,” a skeet labelling system that users with the financial resources and technical know-how could develop and deploy on their own little corner of Bluesky. In practice, this was a way to outsource responsibility. Rather than Bluesky taking accountability for hate speech or death threats, users were expected to moderate themselves
…
In short, Bluesky’s moderation is not neutral; it is selective. The platform is quick to silence, censor, or ban users it finds inconvenient or embarrassing, yet consistently unwilling to act against hate speech, misinformation, or other antisocial behaviour.
It amazes me how babylike some adult humans understanding of the world really is, did they NOT expect that to happen? That is precisely what I figured would happen and I am no genius, it is just common sense?
Congratulations, you have completed the game…. Just kidding! It never ends. It only gets worse, and you will make mistakes, and people will get mad and personally blame you and insist that you are deliberately trying to “censor” their brilliant ideas, and advertisers will get mad, and politicians will pressure you into doing their bidding, and the media will criticize every mistake. You own a social network. Isn’t it fun?
Moderation IS the hard part of running an online community, all the programming and technical details are the easy part with clear answers and rational obstacles.
