We should all say "I also wish ill will to JK Rowling" and see if it gets any traction.
So much about bluesky as alternative social platform to X, Meta, etc...they are just some years (or month?) behind...but will probably end the same way...when the platform depends in advertising...
I mean, we all told you. Dont go to the next billionaire centralized shithole. Y'all didn't listen. Sucks I guess.
(Of course not directed at Christine)
May she live to see her books forgotten and her legacy reduced to only her bigotry.
They will bend as everyone else will.
Once they follow you (as long as your account is 7+ days old), then anything you post here on the Fediverse will be bridged across the Bluesky without need for an account.
As an aside, I originally tried creating a #bluesky account and got suspended almost immediately because I used a @simplelogin.com domain, because I'm expected to just give out my email, my real email, to every Tom, Dick, and Harry that asks for it instead of practicing #compartmentalization apparently?
As long as JKR doesn't violate BS "community guidelines" when using BS to further her TERF agenda, she'll be fine...
Fuck BS!
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"
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.
