it is CRUCIAL context that this is in a thread about TRANSGENDER PEOPLE, and how they are, in his estimation, "doing it wrong" it's not an abstract moderation discussion, it's actually about trans people, specifically!

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.

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

do you happen to have a link to this thread? i assume some deletions have occurred

you mentioned that it's crucial for people to understand the context of the thread his reply was in, so i'd really appreciate being able to see/read that thread for myself

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!

i think there is reasonable doubt and no one seems to have the actual context

> he started off his thread with what trans people are doing that justifies bans he's talking about some specific trans users that are violating TOS (this is a real thing!), he's not talking about trans people in general or as an entire group i don't see an issue with that

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.
