I barely use the site, but just searching bluesky on bluesky shows what's up.
The ayy lmao CEO "Jay" turned out to be the type of personality who would be a CEO. They're apparently going after moderators for censoring transphobes and she's mad at people who don't like Nazis joining? I think? The CEO got ratio'd over it and is currently having an Elon Musk type of crashout about this.
I mean it's twitter tier gossip so take this with a mountain of salt. I don't know if the (blue)sky is falling.
You’re misrepresenting the situation a little I think. She’s saying that if you want a super duper safe space where no one challenges your agenda in any way, you can use the protocol to build your safe space but that they will not alllow people into banning anyone just because they disagree with their views if they are not breaking the rules.
Nazi is super overused these days so it is a meaningless label: I have been called a nazi despite the fact that I’m not white, I do not believe in national socialism and do not approve of the methods and ways of the MAGA movement all because I say that not all MAGA says is incorrect. I’ve also been called a transphobe because I think transgender identity in some cases might have a neurological cause due to a significant amount of evidence for it and that it is important to research it but trans activist think its an excuse for ErASuRe.
This idea that there is knowledge we should not obtain because it could be dangerous (all knowledge is dangerous! It’s literally one of the oldest tropes in mythology), or that we need to protect people from ideas is so absurd and irrational that it really makes it hard to have discourse with people who generally speaking are on your same page. It feels as though there is a small very vocal online group of people who want to turn the world into a Fisher Price paternalistic dystopia.
BTW, the nazi label for "national socialism" is a complete misnomer. Hitler formed cartels instead. It's one of the most frustrating things about political debate that so many folks equate socialism with Nazis
I know it’s not the same thing hence why I didn’t call it socialism and added the “national” to it.
