Yeah, why would someone like me want moderation in/banning racists from an online platform? "Free speech" without consequences would make my experience so much better. 😒

Free speech is a lie and only cishet white men think otherwise because they never have to live in fear like everyone else. Anyone yelling, "Free speech!" just lets the rest of us know they stand with the fascists.

Bluesky is being sold to a megalomaniacal billionaire?

Not yet. He isn’t speedrunning it yet.

he's gone and we're better off without him

He strongly supported Musk to be the buyer.

Didn’t Jack apologize at some point when Elon began showing his true colors early on?

He eventually said he no longer thinks Muskrat is the right owner. He still has $1 billion invested musk’s shit show

I think he succeeded in outing himself as an extremist on X. So we should treat him as such.

Jack’s statement wasn’t that HE was making the same mistakes.

Jack Dorsey is functionally insane from having too much money and is putting his weight behind one of the world’s biggest antisemites. Who cares what he thinks? Good riddance

I genuinely wonder if Jack Dorsey would have stayed on board with Bluesky if the userbase sufficiently worshipped billionaires and hated "wokeness." Like all those visions of libertarian tech utopias these types fantasise about all seem to promise that in some way or another.

"Come one come all to the magical wonderful other world that is Ayn Rand Land!"

Bioshock (2007)

The article suggests Jack's pet peeve is over-moderation. Mutes and Blocks do a good job of moderating a user's experience. Another moderation layer on top of personalized moderation? Another point is that he isn't fond of platforms banning someone over slurs in handles.

These are the people who play Bioshock and think that the only reason Rapture fell was because Ryan wasn't objectivist enough

They're certain that the only reason anyone would disagree with them is some kind of corrupting conspiracy by the Other.

Yes he would have. Because blue sky was meant to be a libertarian cryptocurrency discussion board. It was meant to be for libertarian who couldn’t stand Elon Musk. But we ended up getting a wacky situation where musk was loved more and the left wing Hijacked here. And now it’s a safe zone.

Bluesky doing all the things that made Twitter great before it was ruined, got it, heard and approved.

Could do with a DM function, though.

Don’t worry, you’ll be able to cheat on your wife soon enough! bsky.app/profile/bsky...

What's next for Bluesky? We're working on some of your most requested features: DMs, video, improved Custom Feeds, better anti-harassment features, and a new login tool called "OAuth" Check out the roadmap here: bsky.social/about/blog/0...

Product Roadmap - Blueskybsky.social What’s coming next? Over the next few months, we’ll be introducing some long-requested features.

… what? I a) am not involved with anyone at all and b) just want to be able to discuss things like art commissions in private.

I'd love to discuss art comms in private as well~

That’s pretty out of pocket. What’s your deal?

"I we hold like to talk to my friends in private." "It’s ok, you can cheat on your wife." I agree, what the hell? I'd downvote if that were a thing.

Greg probably got upset by this (and I'm sorry about that). Still, this reply was quite funny.

It was pointlessly rude. And made no sense given I don’t have any significant other.

I see. As a third party I don't think it was deliberately malicious, but people have different sensitivities and perceptions. You can rest assured that the comment haven't made me think anything bad about you. Have a nice day. 😊

Twitter was never really great. And was a fascist shitshow even before musk.

At what point does a man step back and think, "hmm, maybe it's me"?

once you hit that first 100 million, i think it becomes functionally impossible.

That post about the cognitive effects of being a billionaire like being kicked in the head by a horse once a day

He also rolled ~$1 billion worth of stock into Shitter, instead of cashing out... A decision that in hindsight doesn't seem too smart.

That’s the neat part. He doesn’t.

I don't think most white men are capable of such a thing. 🤣

When they acquire a smidgen of self-awareness.

Maybe they shouldn't talk to the billionaire that likes to cosplay as a mad Russian sex monk

The man just wants a website full of unavoidable Nazis and creeps. He craves it. He longs for it.

if he isn't an actual goose-stepping nazi, he's the biggest useful idiot alive.

Who cares what Jack Dorsey thinks when he clearly doesn’t understand anything

Well, they haven't sold it to Elon yet, so we could still avoid that

The second they sell out, I'm gone. Simple as that.

To be clear, I don't think that is the plan at all. I was more giving Dorsey his much deserved sarcastic golf clap

Since the protocol is decentralised they can sell the app but not the network itself (or not all of it, at least).
