yesterday’s work.

Antoine (the Designer Baddie, Minister of Pec Diplomacy, Chief Executive of Chest Behavior) in the gym locker room playing peekaboo with the tiddies. Black tank hiked, shorts gripped, pecs sitting like they just got promoted, core auditioning for a residency. The yam? Present. Accountable.

Antoine (fine, Black, VP of Upper Body Affairs & Interim Thigh Liaison) in a mirror selfie with a dangerous amount of confidence per square inch. Tank lifted just enough for upper-pec chaos, the tiddies are testifying, and the lighting is clearly biased. He’s got the face of a man who invoices by the flex.

Antoine (fine ass Black man, the Designer Baddie, CEO of Core & Confusion LLC) posted in the locker room like a quarterly report nobody’s ready for. Shirt lifted, tiddies briefed, core locked in. Whole body in a silent board meeting and everyone’s clearly aligned on the growth strategy.

Antoine (that bitch, that nigga, Senior Director of Bad Bitch United, Mr. Give No Fucks) in a gym mirror selfie that’s 70% pec reveal, 30% villain origin story. Shirt halfway to heaven, thighs threatening litigation, face card still valid. Whole body language proving strategic chaos is a deliverable.

you’re gonna have to get comfortable with feeling uncomfortable to grow.

first time reading music, trying to draw a specific thing, working out at the gym, learning a new language, learning a new skill? you’re going to look and sound dumb as fuck.

but so did everyone else you admire.

Antoine (the Designer Baddie, CEO of Chest Equity Group, Mr. Outside) in the gym locker room with his beater resting across his top shelf tiddies. Chest and core glistening under the locker room lights. That boy look good.

Antoine (Designer Baddie, Director of Quad Relations, Mirror Magistrate) in the gym locker room mirror. Beater still exposing his pecs while one hand tugs his shorts slightly up the thigh — slight flex to showcase that turkey leg.

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

#ffffff people are so fucking disappointing.

Antoine ▿ @rexmare.co · 12d

ok, but can individual PDSs handle their own moderation or are your mods going to permaban anyone you don’t like?

Bluesky @bsky.app · 17d

Bluesky runs on open protocols with open source code. Today we’re taking an additional step and making a patent non-aggression pledge to ensure that everyone can build confidently on our work.

Learn more and read the pledge in our blog post: bsky.social/about/blog/1...

Bluesky's Patent Non-Aggression Pledge - Bluesky

Bluesky develops open protocols. We're taking a short and simple patent non-aggression pledge to ensure that everybody feels confident building on them.

this is wild as fuck and erodes any trust in Bluesky, its leadership, and its moderators.

clearly being on a different PDS isn’t enough if the owners of the protocol don’t like you.

Unfortunate update: Link reached out to BlueSky and got email back now on reason.

His appeal is denied. He will remain permanently banned on BlueSky’s side.

Here are the screenshots he just sent me as of 8:22 AM EST(my time)

A screenshot of an email from the Bluesky Moderation Team with the subject line “Bluesky Account Behavior” sent at 22:15. The email states that a Bluesky account controlled by the recipient, with the handle @spacelawshitpost.me, posted a reply with an image where the alt text reads: Charlie Kirk sitting in a white T-shirt that says “Freedom.” A negative consequence follows. The email indicates this post violates Community Guidelines regarding violent or threatening speech, specifically listing threats of violence or physical harm against individuals, groups, institutions, or the general public, and incitement of self-harm or suicide.

A screenshot of an email continuation from the Bluesky Moderation Team displaying a bulleted list of Community Guidelines violations. The first bullet point describes threats of violence or physical harm as including threats or encouragement of violence against individuals, groups, institutions, or the general public. The second bullet point defines incitement of self-harm or suicide as content that encourages self-harm or suicide. The third bullet point explains wishes of harm as expressions of a desire for harm directed at a specific person or group. Below the bullets, a paragraph states that users may not use Bluesky to break the law or cause harm to others and that all users must be treated with respect. The next paragraph informs the recipient that as a result of these violations, your account has been taken down. A closing paragraph thanks the user for doing their part to keep Bluesky a welcoming and empowering place for all users and instructs them to email moderation@blueskyweb.xyz if they have questions or wish to appeal the decision. The email ends with the signature Bluesky Moderation Team.

A screenshot of an email from the Bluesky Moderation Team sent at 08:11 with the subject line Re: Bluesky Account Behavior addressed To: Hide My Email. The email reads:

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out to appeal the takedown of your account on Bluesky. We have carefully reviewed your case, including the information you provided and the activity that led to the suspension of your account.

After investigating, we have determined that your account activity was in violation of our community guidelines, specifically promoting hateful content or being disruptive to other users. We take these guidelines seriously to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all our users.

As a result, we regret to inform you that your appeal has been denied, and your account will remain suspended. This decision is final and cannot be reversed. We understand that this may be disappointing news, but we must prioritize the well-being of our community and maintain a consistent enforcement of our policies. We encourage you to review our community guidelines to better understand the expectations we have for user behavior on our platform. Please do not create new accounts, since those will be taken down for ban evasion.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
