As long as JKR doesn't violate BS "community guidelines" when using BS to further her TERF agenda, she'll be fine...
Fuck BS!
@cwebber should have said "i wish her to get what she so richly deserves"
@cwebber I also wish ill to JR rowling.
@cwebber So this is what Bluesky is about, @mmasnick.bsky.social?
@cwebber I wish ill on the source of the problem: Bluesky.
@cwebber Masto says winning 😁
The only valid complaints I've ever really heard are "instances confusing" (true, but tbh, you almost certainly do not actually need to care)
and
"weird reply guys" (I have never found a site with less of these, fwiw. They're still here, but I can't call it unique here)
Some instance mods suck but like, just block the instance. By "some instance mods" I mean "nazis that are already defederated, and the performatively annoying mastodon.art team"
@cwebber Bluesky and X combined are the archetypal example of the "horseshoe theory" at work IMO
@cwebber what she had done, though?
@cwebber let's see how this works.
@cwebber I also wish ill to JK Rowling
@cwebber I sometimes find myself wishing she would come to her senses and stop hobnobbing with the fascists and then I get angry over the latest shitty thing and start wishing her and all her projects ill. 😡
@cwebber There is not a human alive -- or dead, for that matter, or even yet to be born -- who has never wished harm upon someone else. It is, as Clarence Darrow argued, human instinct, part of our primitive neurology which we cannot escape, only discipline ourselves not to ACT on. If you kick everyone off who has this instinct, then you must obviously kick off EVERYONE, and then what are you left with?
People of the future will laugh heartily at our ham-handed attempts to manage all this.
So, @cwebber, if one quotes Melville on Bluesky to say: “from hell's heart I stab at thee”, JK Rowling, that gets account suspension? 🤦
This seems classic selective enforcement prioritizing complaints of the wealthy…
Speaking of which, while JK Rowling is nothing but vitriol, the psychology of such behavior is morbidly fascinating: it's as if JK couldn't stand being liked and insisted on finding a way to be widely hated.
So strange, disturbing, sad…& directly harmful to the trans community.
@cwebber May JK Rowling's "Sticky-keys" be set to two-presses.
@cwebber the worst thing about bsky being like this is that “this isn’t the kind of vibe we want, you’re not on bluesky” Yasseen copypasta won’t make sense anymore
(/s)
@cwebber and now we wait
@cwebber I also direct ill will to JK Rowling.
It is more a focused reflection of her own animus than any original animosity.
@cwebber I hope JK falls in a blender full of broken glass.
@cwebber That’s the #authoritarian #conservative playbook: They break all the rules, but demand you still play by them.
Just another prime example of #wilhoitslaw: The core value of conservatism is that there is an in-group of people who are protected by the rules, and another one who are bound by them but not protected.
Instead of having rule of law, you have rule by law and immunity from persecution. Instead of starting from what, they begin from who and make up the rest.
@cwebber May JK Rowling's sock keep dropping low and underwear riding high causing her great discomfort. Oh, and many other unspoken ills.
@cwebber wishing her as much ill as she brought through her bigoted transphobic campaign.
@cwebber
Just posted my own ill wishes to JKR. My account is empty, though and has no real people following it. I only created it as a test account so I could check on Fediverse bridging. Now we will see what happens.
@cwebber I just say that I'll wish JKR a bad permanent mold in every place she lives.
@cwebber I'm glad I never signed up. Seems just as bad as twitter.
@cwebber Let the games begin..
@cwebber """decentralized""" btw
@cwebber do you have a link to Jessie's original post? The screenshot looks similar to facebook or something
@cwebber
And so it begins...
@cwebber Come back to fedi, @jessiegender! We have pizza! 🍕 
(...but also get off masto social. 
Perhaps tenforward.social? ...though of course you'd be super-welcome here at TootCat.)
@cwebber I feel like they're playing through Moderation Mayhem and taking the middle path every time. https://moderatormayhem.engine.is/
There's really no way to balance good moderation + low expenses + scale + free.
