@FediTips@social.growyourown.services I can't remember who the first domino was, but it was certainly someone pro fash/trump, and trust and safety (the head of whom i'd already lost hope/respect for due to their behaviour on the platform), just shrugged and said "Hey, it'll make us bigger, i see that as a win!" (paraphrased), but that's when i burned my bluesky presence. it's never too late to walk away from a platform, especially pro-fash ones.

@avatastic@avatastic.uk Bluesky don't seem to care about little people, they just want to make themselves big people.

@avatastic@avatastic.uk @FediTips@social.growyourown.services my bet RE: the first domino was how BlueSky Moderation gave Jesse Singal the five-star treatment, all despite outcry from trans users telling them that he’s a bad-faith actor and a serial harasser a lot of other awful enshittification nonsense—e.g. constantly banning Palestinian accounts on-sight (even when proven to be verified), allowing the Trump regime to make tons of official accounts—seemed to all flow down from there

@avatastic@avatastic.uk @FediTips@social.growyourown.services People get stars in their eyes when they see massive user counts and it blinds them to the fact that it's actually a giant liability.
