Thats the funniest part imo, they’re trapped with the opposite userbase than they wanted, and crash out about it at least once a month. 🥲

i read years ago that Bluesky originally started up thru the LGBTQ community so they had a place to convo with each other. And that is why is actually such a nice, reasonable place to have convo and share posts in a nice way. Not an aggressive harsh foundation at all, like X has become.

It ALWAYS is huh. Like Bluesky can't leave trans people alone for a fucking minute.

god i fucking hate him

I really appreciate that context because initially in light of just wanting people to be kind I thought this was great but you added much needed clarity and context. Thank you

yeah i'm curious about the thread he replied within, know where that is?

thank u for making it clear how hard bluesky staff works to make this a hostile place for transgender folks. I followed u @cyber professional after reading this, good post!

yep. i still remember that crazy time they censored posters for saying we wish JKR gets what she wishes on trans folks

good christ almighty Actually that totally tracks

You are unbearably gullible.

I've seen how policies around here play out in practice and how they operate by forcing filters like this on everyone when they used to talk about user choice. No thanks. Trust meter way into the negative.

They'll call it 'dogpiling'.

Liberals will 100% be whitelisted.

Children’s book authors? I figured most of them had separate accounts for drawing more “experimental” stuff so they wouldn’t even consider taking such rights away. This may be something I’m kinda familiar with ;)

Wild that this fuckin nerd thinks using cuss words when talking to someone is harassment, but calling people biological males is not.

That's morally correct

Good.

Oh good. If there's someone assigning toxicity scores, I definitely want it to be the guy who thinks it's antisocial to be anti-ai

Who even is this clown?

there's no one number one score. but opening up media-forms in general, to make it possible to let all of us put some chits down on how we see things, how we see behavior: we haven't had that social review, signalling available. and i think in public it would help. a lot.

What a weirdo...

forget where i read it but a while back someone described this site as a portfolio project for aspiring crypto losers to put on their resume for jobs they actually wanted and they resent the userbase for making them stick around

So much for no algorithms on bsky, eh?

Everyone on this website is such a gleeful idiot that we'll all be social creditmaxxing, like, everyone's gonna cut a deal with their buddy to bully them senseless to become Toxic 9000

I'm people, & I fucking don't.

Oh you’re a Bluesky employee? That’s a huge black mark on your toxicity score.

abuser mentality 102

How…toxic.

Do we want this? Why not find a way to clamp down on bots?

This cat sounds like the final boss off Reddit moderators

i half imagine he'd have an absolute meltdown when he sees his score go worse than anybody else on the website

No we don't.

Hasn't anyone ever seen Black Mirror?

but in what way 👀

Been there, three day ban for stating facts.

Seems awfully censorshippy to me. I'd prefer to make my own decisions on who is or isn't "toxic"...

Sooner or later every social media site decides that the best thing they can do for business is make it impossible to see your friends' posts

How would this possibly work with a non algorithmic feed?

So, a numeric version of clearsky?

listen to this guy with only 2 meowmeowbeans trying to tell us how to be

Smart of him to zero in on an objective measure.

Block already implements this feature

What a stupid fucking concept. “We must not have plurality of thought bee boop.” Moderation worked perfectly well until it was treated like fascism, rather than the actual fascism.

it’s like how any idiot with a domain can make an account like @jacksblog.biz, but all the people they’ve been trying to fellate are way too stupid to understand the concept, so instead the @jacksblogbiz.bsky.social account can get a checkmark instead

It's kinda like Elon having his engineers tweak the algorithm. 😏

"it's illegal to @ the mods" seems like a really sustainable policy

Wow, that went places really fast toward the end when his mask just fell off.

fuck this guy right in his ass

Meow meow beanz? In 2026?

I'm sure he's expecting it to be run by AI

Well now they can offload all the decision-making and the blame to an AI model.

good to see that they’re finally going after the waffle-posting ex-ceo and the AI psychosis CTO

Oh I'm fucking cooked then

Isn't that just our heritage foundation score ?

Just realised Aaron is a Canadian. I’m so sorry.

jokes on them, I can just keep making more accounts

Fuck that fucking fucker with a fucking fuck.

Credit score but to talk online. Fuuuuun

Plot Twist: All Bluesky devs got instant negative social credit and were run off their own site It was all happy furry porn and Petra Parker memes from there on

I know nobody cares about honesty on Bluesky, but it's deeply dishonest to make up evil thoughts and place them in someone else's head through mind-reading, and post that publicly. Even if you disclaim you're "just guessing". But people LOVE to lie to stoke crowd hatred against their enemies.

Wasn't there a Community episode about something like this

“You have 10 demerits” “what does that mean?” “You know what merit means?” “Yes” “You have 10 less of it”

Sorry I can’t see what you’re replying to, the image seems to be restricted

"restricting their visibility to broader accounts" okay oop you can have your account restricted first/s

I think that's a third party account label enabled by the person viewing, which applies the label to any account created before a certain date. (I say "I think" because I'm sure he didn't program/make the labeler in question.)

Wtf ?

I am one platform (this one) away from quitting social media and will, without hesitation if this were to ever become a thing. Fucking idiots need to watch Black Mirror as the cautionary series that it is...not a box of ideas for fascists.

Huh? How do you determine "hOw ToXiC" someone is?! I guarantee none of his blue check buddies who are ratioe'd every 3-5 business days will be restricted. Foh!

I just want to train Jev on the kind of stuff I like and the kind of stuff that makes me unfollow, and put together a browser plugin that gives me a probability score, so if I follow this person for a banger post, I reduce the risk I'll have to unfollow them a week later for some ignorant bullshit.

At the risk of sounding dumb, how is this not just old school message board karma? Last I checked, people *hated* that

This is sad. It's just another reason why Bluesky is fading. Any deviance is silenced. By deviance, I mean "interesting remarks" or "differing views" or a "fresh angle." It doesn't matter if platforms die or not, it's more that the damage to free speech was self-inflicted.

“Toxic”, eh? Well, that sounds scientific. Let’s do it.

Being sentenced to bluesky execution because pigpoopballs ruined my internet social credit score

Don't be an ass-hat telling "uncomfortable facts" and people will respect you! It's that easy 👏

"Do your actual job and ban that Protocols of Zion reposting engagement farmer account, Aaron." -2137 social credit points removed from your account, now you cannot upload images.

No clear rules around scoring, but he'll know the posts when he sees them, I guess?

As long as "toxic" isn't "diagreement" this could be fine. But I have a feeling it will be user applied, which is deeply gamable.

Bsky execs can say, "See, we wrote down numbers as part of our biased strikes or bans against users. But there's no bias because numbers don't lie."

showing my date my impressive 'bluesky toxicity factor'

It is so cool that they incidentally disproved Goodheart's law. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhar...

This is like Play in GTA to try to get all five stars going

Ugh. The big draw when it started was their saying "Yeah, just mute or block anyone who bugs you--that's our control procedure. If everyone does that the person is diminished." It worked on Vance.

"I have the largest 'kick me' sign on blue sky dot app but people keep kicking me?????"

Woof

Proud to say that I snagged my account during the closed period!

Scans with the post

dawg fuck this site i'm so just gonna move back to twitter at this point lol

Step 1 is to separate: - I wish ill upon (person) because I disagree with their life choices, even though those choices rarely affect others. - I wish ill upon (person/group) because they are dehumanizing people they had to seek out. If those are treated the same, the platform is partisan.

White people be segregatin’

That’s called “being added to horrible lists”

youtu.be/DgsRjwmWcDE?...

Or...and I know this is a wild thought...they could just let adults decide for themselves if something is toxic and block if they want. I dont know why theyre always trying to step in and obstruct people from making their own choices.

I would prefer not to be on a website dedicated to Making Shadow Bans Great Again

One of the things that annoys me the most about US culture is this hiperfocusing on the format of politeness and ignoring like what people are actually saying

I'd say 'toxic' is restricting visibility on account of your bollocks.

they're eternally mad that their website is for pornography and not bitcoin

Did he delete this?
