If you search "Jemima" on here you can see hordes of people screaming that she's a Nazi, and even some trying to carry out amateur genealogy on her family tree, all for saying that their preferred social media platform isn't a perfect utopia. Wild! (2/11)

Maybe but the nice thing about Bluesky is you can just block those people and not worry about having to interact with them. Kind of like not going to certain bars if you don’t like the atmosphere

I saw someone last night accuse Jemima of being a "crypto booster". This seemed odd given how lots of the crypto community despise her for critical columns, such as the one screenshotted below. I then realised that people had erroneously labelled her a crypto promoter in various block lists (8/11)

How’s this different from Twitter ? People slander others all the time.

But that’s the irony, because Bsky boosters say they are trying to create a more civil discourse than Twitter bsky.app/profile/bond...

For a platform whose dedicated users like to promote this as a civilised alternative to The Other Place (or sometimes more cringely The Bad Place) the rage all seems a bit, well, uncivil. Anyway, I look forward to the Montagnard Convention putting my name on various blocklists now I guess! (11/11)

She’s currently blocked by 3,197 users out of more than 10million. That’s 0.03% Are we going to have a for over that??

They are and it is a more civilized discourse. That’s factual. The vast majority of intelligent people aren’t going to fall for that stuff anyways. It’s no big deal
