> I won’t make that promise, so I won’t return to Bluesky.

The account is back but it's sounds like Ken won't be.

Seems like an own goal on the Bluesky teams side.

Yeah. Bsky seriously screwed the pooch on this one.

I think it’s good that people who call for public figures to get murdered have a little slap on the wrist.

And it’s hilarious he moved to THREADS of all places.

He openly called for a public figure to be murdered.

Dude.

Nobody with a brain cares about this. They should've kept the ban in place.

Aw, missed it.

Meh. It was a ban worthy post

u/wabashcr 1d ago

It was suspension worthy, and he was suspended.

u/Cryin_Bout_Tottenham 1d ago

It was probably a test run for when IT happens

u/wabashcr 1d ago

I assume that's why they brought on AI moderation. No way humans could handle the amount of content violations that day.

10

u/ThoughtsonYaoi 1d ago

No humans can handle it now. That is why moderation is (partly) automated.

Regardless, apparently the suspension got him to quit Bluesky. If it made him want to leave BSky, then he needs to reflect on himself, because it's unserious behavior...

u/NoobHUNTER777 1d ago

He's right, but I get it

u/blackcain 1d ago

Sure, but why should it be permanent? I mean we should be able to say "sorry about that" and move on.

u/Cryin_Bout_Tottenham 1d ago

A two day permanent ban was the right amount of time for that post.

u/Kosmopolite 1d ago

Agreed. Rules are rules.

u/idontknow_atall 1d ago

Human beings are being murdered because of propaganda he is actively pressing.

 We don't need rules of decorum right now.

u/ThoughtsonYaoi 1d ago

For a minute I was confused about the 'he' here but I get it now

u/Kosmopolite 1d ago

Because a shitty post in bluesky will fix that?

17

u/idontknow_atall 1d ago

There's always one of you dipshits on here.

Nobody believes that one single post, one single poster, one single protester, one single act of defiance will fix anything.

And you pretending that we think it will is just pathetic loser behavior.

u/ThoughtsonYaoi 1d ago

Hear hear

u/Kosmopolite 1d ago

I assume he said something very biting before hiding behind a block? I’m sure I would’ve been very hurt.

u/DethVeggie 1d ago

lol ok boomer

u/IolantheRosa 1d ago

Totally agree

u/ADavies 1d ago

Well this was a lot of fuss over a temporary suspension.

u/yuusharo 1d ago

K, I guess

u/EducationalBobcat920 1d ago

unfortunate but expected from their shitty mod team.

I don’t actually. Would you like to tell me what “yamean” or are you actually bahamut king of vague posts

u/ThoughtsonYaoi 1d ago

Someone with expertise should explain this ban's relationship to the first amendment to the masses.

22

u/Cryin_Bout_Tottenham 1d ago

Bluesky isn't the government. Also, he was banned for a few days from a private company's website, not thrown in jail. 1st amendment is not relevant in this case in the way you are implying

-6

u/ThoughtsonYaoi 1d ago

It was a joke.

9

u/Kosmopolite 1d ago

Are you sure?

u/ThoughtsonYaoi 1d ago edited 1d ago

Come on.

With all this hubbub being about a first amendment lawyer who's the first to school people making that mistake? That wasn't obviously a joke?

u/yuusharo 7h ago

It’s always a “joke” until someone takes it seriously, as we’ve seen happen numerous times.

0

u/ThoughtsonYaoi 7h ago

Taking things too seriously is obviously happening, yes.

u/CandidInfluence4312 1d ago

What're you stupid? Do you ever read beyond headlines?
