the people crave bluesky social credit scores

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!

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

he deleted it but also just posted a new thread on similar topics

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

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

was a @jane.inurhead.lol reply i think?

was it this post?

yeah

i feel like your post here is misrepresenting the context then and intentionally inflammatory?

don't have the full thread, but this is the specific example he started his thread on toxicity about he started off his thread with what trans people are doing that justifies bans, in the thread leading up to "why toxicity filters" so no, I don't consider what I said to be a misrepresentation!

> 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 disagree with his conclusion, I disagree with his chain of thought, and I disagree with the context/manner in which he brought it up. Even in a thread about direct harassment of a trans person he can't resist first pointing out what other trans people are doing wrong (being against-TOS)

okay but that still is a wildy different situation then the accusation here and you're quite literally stoking people into contextless outrage while also saying context is crucial... that feels really sucky

I think you're just being obtuse about this. It matters that he dropped this toxicity plan offhandedly during a discussion about trans people! This was not a contextless discussion about the abstract principles of moderation, the entire thread was about trans scenarios.

I'm not being obtuse, I'm standing on principles, principles that I think should matter to you and to others. You strongly proclaimed that context was crucial, while also not readily providing any of that context except your short personal interpretation. That sucks & you can and should do better.

What I said about that thread is true and I stand by it. If you want more context than what I posted, you can take it up with the guy who announced a policy goal in the replies, deleted when it wasn't going his way, and reworded later to try to soften it

What you said was not true and you are intentionally trying to inflame outrage. We have got to stop acting like a small group of toxic trans users on this website are a proxy for the trans population or trans people in general.
