we need to flood their feedback form demanding they don’t censor. This includes things that make you feel personally uncomfortable and things do not like. It’s always “the degenerates” first, then everything else, all queer people, all queer art, is deemed degenerate. Do NOT fall for this.

it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people

reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

Oh, good…

Nice to see how the “new” Bluesky Moderation is being handled.

A screenshot of a Community post from Jessie Gender.

“Gotta laugh to keep from being pissed - my Bluesky account got suspended - presumably because I did a post saying "I also wish ill to JK Rowling" in response to and solidarity with another trans person getting her account suspended for saying the same. So that's the state of things on Bluesky nowadays. It's ok though, JK Rowling can still actively use her money to harm trans people and also get a multibillion dollar tv series, don't worry!”

Below her text is a partial screencap from BlueSky moderation which reads:

Hi there,
A Bluesky account you control (@jessiegender.bsky.social) has engaged in activity that violates our community guidelines for violent or threatening speech. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:
• Threats of violence or physical harm: This includes threats or encouragement of violence against individuals, groups, institutions, or the general public.
• Incitement of self-harm or suicide: Content that encourages self-harm or suicide.
• Wishes of harm: Expressions of a desire for harm directed at a specific person or group.
In addition, users may not use Bluesky to break the law or cause harm to others. All users must be treated with respect.

For people who see nothing wrong with "Noncon sex acts in art" being banned; do you think a normie cares whether your unwilling blueberry TF or wimpering squirming hose-feeding sequence isn't penetrative nonconsensual sex. are you gonna wait until they post a line about "promoting eating disorders."

This is important. Get your feedback in, rules get finalised in 30 days and go into effect in 60 days. There's a lot here that could ban furry art, feral art, ABDL content. Needs a lot of work.

As for the 'don't do illegal stuff' - which laws? from which country? It's ham-fisted at the mo. Act now

I hope people are ready to be as relentless about this as they are about paypros.

As ever, Bluesky built this site off our backs and like everyone that came before them, they're gearing up to try and shake us off with this vague pile of bullshit.

Just think about how their mod tools behave *now*.

it is so important, now more than ever, to just be a freak. let it all out. stop letting fascist rhetoric stop you from living your best life and enjoying yourself

if you're a queer individual there is no safety in censoring yourself. your very existence is "obscene" to them. so just go buckwild.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

i believe in games as a storytelling medium and that's why i need the stories to aim higher than "pretty good if you haven't read a book"

The problem with the “proship dni” label is that there is an approximately 2% chance it means “pedophiles stay away from me” and a 98% chance it means “I am fundamentally incapable of controlling my own emotions and if I ever see a kink I don’t like I will start behaving like an enraged gorilla.”

As I've said frequently, it's all right to acknowledge some work was important to you, and also, that the person who created it is a real shitheel. If the latter means you can't hang with the work anymore, that's fine. I have a list of people whose work I'll maybe come back to once they're dead.

something being illegal IRL doesn't mean fictional depictions of it (or when relevant, reporting of real events) is illegal. the mutilation bit is ESPECIALLY odd to me. people in reality and fiction lose limbs "nonconsensually." mastercard are you telling me star wars is "illegal" content????
