Now with 25 million users, Bluesky is facing a test that will determine whether or not its platform will still be seen as a safe space and place of refuge
“I don’t need “protecting” from ideas I may not agree with.”
That’s because you aren’t the target. This isn’t a discussion about if Love Island is groundbreaking tv or brain melting mush, it’s about whether people are allowed to exist. Check your privilege and maybe try and exercise a little empathy.
Oh sorry, apparently they’re a “just asking questions” shit-stirrer. They only obsess over the idea that trans people can be wrong about themselves. Or can be talked out of it. Or were tricked into it by peer pressure.
So not a Nazi - just a conversion therapist. Someone referenced by Nazis. A dishonest bastard inventing respectable cover, for the sort of people who think trans people are coming for their children.
If you have a social media platform then you have two choices for who’s allowed to exist on it.
Either you let the Nazis stay and watch helplessly as they drive everyone they don’t like off your platform, or you ban the Nazis so that you can keep everyone else.
You don’t get to have it both ways. Choosing not to moderate will always create a safe space for Nazis.
Who is “the person in question”? Did you think I was talking about someone specific?
I’m using the term “Nazi” as a shorthand because listing all the fascist ideologies of those who would prefer to see people like me dead would be a waste of time. I feel like this is an extremely common usage that only ever gets challenged by people who are personally invested in distancing Naziism from their own personal brand of bigotry.
I am entirely uninterested in quibbling about where exactly is the line between a literal Nazi and someone who merely acts like one.

Who said anything about people being allowed to exist?
Jesse Singal, presumably.
Can you point to where specifically he said that some people are not allowed to exist? I couldn’t find anything like that in the linked posts.

Do you have any evidence that the person in question is a Nazi? Or are you using the word in the “anyone I disagree with” sense?

Since the original post is about a specific person, yes, this was my assumption.
Who wants anyone dead?
