she shouldn't have posted the death threat no matter how "cartoonish" and he shouldn't even be commenting about this publicly. let alone posting the other pages usernames. you just wanted to embarrass them not clear anything up.

Bluesky faced a similar situation last year, but it played out in an opposite manner. One user said that they hoped a prominent Black user would get pushed off of “somewhere real high.” In that case, Bluesky’s team decided it wasn’t a legitimate death threat, which strained the burgeoning platform’s relationship with its Black users.

good to know bluesky is turning out to be another twitter hellscape instead of a refuge.

The CEOs who run these sites are all the same type of guy in different fonts.

Given how messy Jack has been agreeing with Elon on all kinds of shit, it doesn't surprise me.

Idk I think the “death threat” the ceo received was wildly cartoonish and the trans users on that platform get much, much worse threats made to them. The transphobia is emboldened by staff.
If CEO thought that “threat” was bad, he should really look around the website he’s the fuckin CEO of.

people just think if they mask threats in hyperbolic language or say "I hope you get [redacted]" it will cover their asses from seeming like a threat. but that doesn't erase the intent of why you said what you said. let's not act brand new now.

Who is tf acting brand new again? Actual violence that’s being emboldened by staff vs cartoon hammers. Matt has all the power in this situation. He already kicked off the user. I’ve been told worse to my fucking face. Please. I’m sorry that a marginalized person made a hyperbolic statement against someone who hates them.
