Biggest bag fumble in tech history. All they had to do was listen to trans people.

Meanwhile the hexbear board of directors
just sitting here vibing till all the trans people realize having their own space and not relying on corporate neo-nazis is the way to go
Perfect encapsulation of :LIB: :brainworms: They didn’t break my rules on my property!
I’ll never get over how, for many centrists, certain bigotry is disgusting but transphobia is accepted and fine.
It’s because it’s the hip thing to hate at the moment. So much for being free thinkers.
That’s the neat part! They’re comfortable with all forms of bigotry, but transphobia is the one they can do openly with zero repercussions.
It’s a money thing. Trans people aren’t pumping billions into the DNC, therefore we’re expendable.
No one should trust for-profit social media.
I 100% understand if nobody wants to rehash it, but as someone that doesn’t use Bluesky, are there any synopses of what went down?
PS death to transphobes.
For those not on Bluesky, I would also like to point out that we basically spent the first year of that website’s existence begging for a real Trust & Safety team, for a whole lot of reasons and incidents that occurred before there was one. And when Jay (CEO of Bluesky) finally hired one, she hired Aaron Rodericks to lead Trust & Safety. The Aaron Rodericks from Twitter’s “Trust” & “Safety.” Aaron Rodericks immediately began his job posting about how he cares way more about tone and manners than actual content of a message. So basically, as long as your transphobia and bigotry and racism and white supremacy is stated in a polite manner, it’s cool with him. But if you get offended by the transphobia etc and speak up for yourself, YOU are getting banned. Also, since the Jesse Singal thing started, he has made it very clear he gives exactly zero fucks what Jesse Singal does.
Jesse Singal joined Bluesky with the expressed intent to bring his Xitter followers and harass the trans population there. When the Bluesky users asked his account to be suspended or banned for their safety, the Bluesky Trust&Safety team basically said he had done nothing explicitly against guidelines on the site and that they would not do so. Even when shown direct evidence of him publishing medical records on the site without the patients’ permission. Bluesky T&S basically nuked the goodwill they had been cultivating among marginalized communities.
it really seems that a tactic that western liberals in positions of power love to do when running apologetics for murderers and attempted murderers is to ignore hard facts and reality when there is blatant evidence of malicious intent
then, with the same deluded thinking, twist and turn reality to invent evidence of wrongdoing when there are people from a marginalized group they want to harm
an example of this would be how mr. bonerelli can win the gold medal of mental gymnastics and evil simultaneously by saying the dozens of people murdered in cold blood by the IDF were paid to die by Kkhaaamas because it would make pissrael look bad… while also saying there is no evidence for systemic genocidal intent from pissrael
publishing medical records on the site without the patients’ permission.
Please tell me there’s a HIPAA lawsuit incoming. That shit has fines in the millions of dollars and like 10 year prison sentences for disclosing patient information with malicious intent.
He’s claiming to have been given the records by the doctor because he is a “journalist” and they support his claim that pedophelia isn’t harmful to the kids, but gender affirming care is. Anyone whose data he may be sharing will have to prove harm from this in order to sue. It’s really f’ed up.
Yeah doctors can’t give your medical history to the press, regardless of the circumstances. Like even the cops have to get a subpoena in order to access a patient’s medical records. And even then, they may struggle getting information they want. In psychiatric care, for example, unless you tell your therapist you plan on hurting yourself or literally killing someone else, they can’t even disclose their relationship to you. That’s enough to lose their license. You essentially have with your psychiatrist the same protections you have with your lawyer.
At the very least, the doctor who leaked the medical records should be stripped of their position and possibly charged with malpractice.
Reports have been made to the “authorities”, but he keeps getting away with it because the right wingers agree with him and defend him. You have a strange amount of faith in a system that agrees with him and hates us.
Oh no it doesn’t surprise me at all. I just thought they’d at least try and be subtle about it, not actually come out and say “Yeah I just asked the doctor and he handed over everything.” Just throw it on the pile of shit reactionaries get away with because liberals allow them to.
I’m struggling to get my head round this…they don’t like MtF trans people cause they (allegedly) all want to nonce kids, but paedophilia doesn’t harm kids? That’s all kinds of fucked.
Also, there are lots of paedos in right wing groups.
Yup, basically Singal is a right wing asshole with a history of defending pedos and anti-trans propaganda who masquerades a a journalist. And the libertarian techbros on the BS Trust&Safety team decided not to do anything to stop him from hurting their subscribers. It’s as simple as it is disgusting.
I like the you’ve put “BS Trust&Safety team” so it could be Bluesky or it could be Bullshit.
his claim that pedophelia isn’t harmful to the kids
pardon?
That’s literally.the reason it’s bad
Also,
Gross. What absolute fucks.
Also thank you
Oh hey look, it’s half my family.
I am so fucking annoyed at bluesky for shitting the bed this bad.
If they didn’t we wouldn’t have a big boost of cool people joining.
Plus, they get to experience all the cool emojis we have
Ya they suuuuuck, but we’re glad you’re here
I am out of the bubble. What happened?
There might be a better article, but this is the top of the search.
That sucks
But predictable
