really a pretty embarrassing few fucking weeks for Bluesky content moderation and what passes for a comms team

he's a comedian obviously making a joke? is his suspension permanent? Why isn't there a staggered warning system? Hello? Is this thing on?

Yeah. I can see a reasonable moderation system in which this crosses the line, but boy do they need to communicate better and be more transparent.

I get being strict on violence against women comments, but at least be aware you're making a prominent content moderation move and have a comms team ready to explain things to people? And why isn't there a three-strikes sort of thing? Was he warned? Why directly to a suspension?

the mod tools for bksy are pretty blunt, for lack of a better word. i'm pretty sure it's something they've been working on. but, also, the most consistent rule they enforce around here is 'no figurative death threats'! it keeps happening!

so if he just said something like Megyn Kelley was "hoisted by her own petard" all would be cool? Of course a petard is a small bomb which, like a wood chipper, could lead to significant injury
