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...

@cwebber I wish unfortunate happenings upon JK Rowling
@cwebber I wish ill on J.K. Rowling and all who institutionally protect her, and I'm fucking happy I can say that here with no fear.
@cwebber I also wish ill will to JK Rowling. May all her works and all her fame and wealth disappear and may her damned name be forgotten.
@cwebber I also wish all ill will to JK Rowling
@cwebber to bear ill will bit to wish ill
@cwebber
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)
@cwebber I feel a just... Oh... Um... Jack Dorsey... Need one say more?
@cwebber Let's see if this shows up.
May she live to see her books forgotten and her legacy reduced to only her bigotry.
@cwebber Gotta love censorship.
@cwebber I’m with Jessie
@cwebber Considering for a moment the irrepairable harm JKR is causing on the #transgender community with her vile "books", unfounded personal opinions on subjects she knows nothing about, funding known hate groups, and so on and so forth, I personally wish the same harm will befall her fortwith and may it hurt her forever and more.
@cwebber Super funny how BlueSky was/is a perceived heaven for trans folk.
They will bend as everyone else will.
@cwebber For those that want to yap about this over on #bluesky without creating an account, follow @bsky.brid.gy here on Mastodon.
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!
@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 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.
Joining in to wish JK Rowling ill will here in solidarity https://bsky.app/profile/dustyweb.bsky.social/post/3lwjhfzebtk2i
@cwebber I wish that JKR (and anyone who thinks it's their job to make other people's life harder,) a completely friendless existence until they realise how much of a dick they are being.
@cwebber I’m on it.
@cwebber I'm tempted to dust off my otherwise dormant Bluesky account just for this
@cwebber may JKR never have working batteries, usb keys that fail to fit until a few attempts and uncooperative door keys when trying to open her front door
@cwebber
May she live to see her books forgotten and her legacy reduced to only her bigotry.
(I'm not on BS, but this popped into my head, so there you go.)
I encourage everyone to wish ill will upon JK Rowling, here and, if you have a Bluesky account, please do so there as well. If you get suspended, please share that information here.
@cwebber
I wish everything JK Rowling send out will get back threefold on her.
The Wicca rule of 3
@cwebber
Yes, ill will to JKR! I hope she steps on a hundred legos every day for the rest of her life.

@cwebber
I only want her to stop thinking she's right, take the time to learn from her critics, and grow.
Failing that, losing her contracts would also be acceptable.
@cwebber May whatever ill they wish or inflict upon trans people find its way back to them. And if my wishing that violates community guidelines, I wish Rowling a merry suspension.
@cwebber May JK Rowling never feel the warmth of the flame on a cold winter's day, and may she forever feel unwelcome to matter where she goes.
@cwebber I wish #JKRowling an incurable yeast infection, and may her life be ever more interesting. 😁
@cwebber I wish for Rowling to lose her money, slink back to irrelevance, and for everyone who ever gushed about her series to forget all about her.
@cwebber I wish JK Rowling that some dust falls in her eye and cannot be easily removed, just as she was about to go to sleep.
@cwebber JK Rowling wrote of characters she did not understand and her ignorance has defiled them.
@cwebber
May she step on a Lego every time she's barefoot, may every drawer in her kitchen get stuck (praise be to Anoia), may birds poop on her head when she's out walking, may every umbrella turn inside out when it rains, and may every fly nearby land in her food.
@cwebber
I wish JK Rowling high cholesterol levels
@cwebber I hope she stubs her toe every time she has an anti-trans thought.
@cwebber I don’t generally wish ill on people, but I’ll make an exception for JK Rowling.
@cwebber I hope her nostrils become permanently mildly congested.
@cwebber
I wish I'll towards not only J.K. Rowling, but every transphobe. As David Lynch said, fix your hearts transphobes, or die.

JK Rowling, I curse you, from a distance. I will not personally harm you, because that's not the kind of person I am. But I wish you bad luck: that your bad karma eats at you, that your shows and books sell poorly, that your bad reputation catch up to you in the general public's eye.
@cwebber May she forever step on Lego.
@cwebber I'm just gonna second this instead of writing my own wish of ill will, 'cause yours was very articulate. 
@cwebber i have a friend that didn’t know about Rowling’s mask dropping and they were pissed. they’re not on social media and oligarchic media protects her. after all, USA’s biggest media company is Disney; and they control a big chunk of entertainment, sports and news.
there’s a need for an organized info insurgency against her.
@cwebber may JK forever find the stairs moving so she can never reach the bathroom she's trying to use.
@cwebber May JKR live in interesting times. May those in authority become aware of her. May all her wishes that do NOT harm others become true. And may her sleeves always slip down and get wet when she washes hands.
@cwebber Dear JK Rowling I have no power to harm you but I wish for you to be turned into a dung beetle until you recognize that it's the upper class conservative men doing most of the sexual abuse.
@cwebber
One of my favorite curses, which I wholeheartedly wish upon JK Rowling ..
May the fleas of one thousand camels infest your armpits.
@cwebber i'll say it then: somebody should kill JK Rowling lol
@cwebber wow you mean this Jessie Gender? @jessiegender
Everyone follow her over here on the fedi
I just did. 
I can wish ill of JK Rowling all day...
and I will 
@cwebber
you their sleeves dip in the water when they wash their hands today
you their sleeves dip in the water when they wash their hands today
@cwebber
That rule looks might be recent or added on specifically for JKR "wishes".
@cwebber
Also I hope her tea is always the wrong temperature and that she steps on a Lego.

@cwebber what a weird rule.
@katzenberger @cwebber Yes, that's me. I've known Kaliya for a long time and didn't know about her views on trans rights at that time.

@lobingera @cwebber it feels very broad. Does "harm" include failure? If I wish that the Netanyahu government fails to eradicate Palestinians in Gaza, is that wishing them harm? Or does it only include physical harm?

@cwebber i wish ten ill wills upon JK Rowling. ten absolutely sick wills. wills that will puke in her shoes and then make her clean it up.
