Ed: We’re only minutes away from somebody making a starter pack to call people shitlibs or covid superspreaders or pedophiles or something, this seems obviously fucking gameable

devs woke up and said "yeah, no comrades under 1k wasn't a mistake actually"

Today, we’re releasing starter packs — personalized invites that allow you to bring friends directly into your slice of Bluesky! 🚀 Update to version 1.87 of the app or refresh desktop to create a starter pack. (It may take a moment for version 1.87 to appear in the iOS App/Google Play stores.)

We’re only minutes away from somebody making a starter pack to call people shitlibs or covid superspreaders or pedophiles or something, this seems obviously fucking gameable

here’s your harass these users starter pack for your sock puppet. we still don’t have granular notification settings so you’ll def see their replies

sometimes I wonder how robust the red teaming is by that extremely tiny, earnest and hard-working team here at this non-revenue-generating website

I would hope it’s at least as strong as what people who make websites in their spare time do, but sometimes I wonder

Like yes it sucks that we need our malevolent fuck hats (don’t attach the adverb in the wrong place, thx) but that’s a thing

better a malevolent fuck hat than a malevolent fuck saw, I always say

radial malevolent arm fuck saws are illegal now, and a good thing too

still think Malevolent Fuck Hammer was Op Ivy's best album

that's why there's fuckstopper

I worry that they lack the troublemaking instinct. Like every time there's a new feature I'm like "ooh there's a TERRIBLE thing I could do with that" and I'm not even that mischevious in the scheme of things

yeah it does feel that way, doesn’t it? maybe I should’ve led with that so my job application wouldn’t have been left on read

"Or"?

I assume it will be three separate starter packs, you gotta have focus

There are already mute lists like this

as a shitlib AND a conservative AND an AI shill, I am aware

Lmaooo

You’re not also a transphobe like me?

the night is young

yeah, I'm not sure this "new way to group users" is really any different from the abuse problems already presented by mute lists or labelers.
