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.

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
