This just baffles me (seen on Tumblr).

Don't people remember that as bad as Musk screwed it up, Twitter was *still a garbage dump* before he bought it? Do people remember when they tried to sell it a few years before and it fell through because there were *too many Nazi accounts*?

Gamergate was carried out in large part on Twitter. Large scale harassment campaigns. They periodically did something about the worst of the white supremacists, but it never lasted, and many operated with impunity.

What exactly has Bluesky done to proactively prevent the same from happening on the new service? Anything?

Yeah, it's shiny and new and familiar-ish. But that tarnish is gonna wear off fast, I'd wager, and the new social media smell will give way to more rank odours.

@Nezchan Everyone forgot the slogan of the Twitter user in 2016 "Jack is Fash Trash"

I've seen a lot of justifications that Jack isn't the CEO, he's just a board member. No influence at all.

Which I'm sure it BS and he's got a lot to do with it regardless of title.

It's the only place where I could sell my books, due to the massive, hard right swing of most platforms and that being where my audience has gone.

*smh* It's a total mess. I do much better without algorithmic suppression.
