I don’t think I ever suggested pleasing everyone just those of us who need safety and protection. Which sadly there’s a stunning lack of on fedi except for a few places, the developers of most software running on it certainly do not help though.
Jesse Singal joined bluesky and was in contact with a well known fascist site about what to do about trans people there.
Then Bluesky moderation rolled out the red carpet and gave him the VIP treatment for it, seemingly only for being a journalist despite his terrible views.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@beehaw.org
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
I deleted my Instagram and I am about to delete my FB account. The oligarchs can go fuck themselves.
Come over to Bluesky
I’m not sure that’s a good idea due to them giving the VIP treatment to a known transphobe just because he’s a journalist.
Should we all leave the Fediverse since there are thousands of evil assholes that develop and use it?
I mean, no. The real solution is to move to better software which aren’t developed by assholes or to seize the development away from the assholes.
As for the ones that use it the solution there is for admins and users to be liberal with the block and ban buttons.
Nobody’s stopping anyone from forking open source software.
If you don’t have the expertise or time/money, nobody’s stopping you from starting a GoFundMe or whatever, and hiring some devs you like.
I don’t believe there will ever be a solution that will please everyone.

What happened?

Here is an article about it: https://www.advocate.com/business/bluesky-jesse-singal
What was the “VIP treatment”?
From the article, it seems like they let him join and get blocked just like anyone else.
Yeah i dont see a problem unless they remove the blocking feature or force me to view content on my feed I cannot curate and opt out of.
Yea. Def not the end solution. I keep encouraging people to get on Pixelfed and Mastadon.
Can I just take the $5000 and then fuck off to a better platform?
I’m leaving Meta fully this year. I think that platform is in for a rude awakening.
LMAO.
