Wow, if you follow Jesse Singal on Bluesky you are put on so many autoblocks lists called things like 'follower of Jesse singal', 'follows fascists' etc.
I don't think Bluesky follows the general social media rule that a follow is not an endorsement. 🤔
I saw a petition that had like 20k+ signatures for bluesky to deplatform him? Not sure we even have that many active users 😅
Bluesky: 20k users all posting 'yikes'
Nostr: 24 users letting you know the price of bitcoin has changed by $0.01
has it really got this retarded
yikes
erm…actually we don’t say that here :)
How does one amass such great power
I genuinely hadn't heard of this person until I saw he was in the news for getting death threats on Bluesky.
He is a 'transphobe' apparently, although I don't know what this is based on. I've not looked into it.
Mostly followed him on Bluesky because I thought the situation was curious. And today I saw I couldn't see another account I follow there. Because I follow this person , I'm blocked from following other people lol. A sillysky
Ewesky
It started with, but is not limited to an article he wrote in the Atlantic about children with gender dysphoria. It's important to remember that the trans community believe drugging and mutilating children is a human right and preventing or even counter-signalling this is literally genocide.
Jesse Singal on Bluesky is fascinating as some sort of social experiment. I wish there was a proper bridge of his account to here (over eclipse?).
But this is from his twitter anyway:
Sounds sort of familiar.
'nostr is full of Nazis, I haven't actually used it, but I know it's full of nazis'
Are you a Nazi?
'hey hey, I'm just asking!' lol
Well you never know these days so it’s best to ask.
How do we know you aren't secretly recruiting?
I don’t, that’s why I’m asking.
Motorways and tape machines are cool but I’ve never been into mass murder or german ideals of racial superiority. Plus all the marching and shit is long.
So on balance, I’m short Nazis.
You do have a floofy cat profile pic though…
im glad it exists.
we always know where the woke sociopaths are.
I think it has slightly outgrown the initial stereotypical Bluesky user, but it is still a very strong and dominant presence there. I am looking forward to the bridges nostr makes, there will be a few gooduns there and elsewhere:)
