It gets worse, IMO.
Since when has requesting mods to suspend an account been harassment?
At least on fediverse if there is a flurry of reports about an offensive account they take action not complain about it.

@benroyce The enshittification of BS went faster than I even expected. Maybe they were always fundamentally shitty?
the principals are from crypto dev land and the financial backing is crypto money

also terribly, bluesky uses the crypto bro conjob of making big promises (decentralization) and not delivering on that, but harvesting devotion from cultists on the promise rather than the reality
@benroyce @privateblack @su_liam Pre-2025 cryptobro: down with fiat currency! 2025 cryptobro: yay fiat currency!
Totally consistent.
@benroyce @galacticstone
Lol, I've poked my head up over there too for protest/resistance content, but don't have any plans to do much with that account but observe.
@benroyce Thanks for the context for other posts I've been seeing.
@benroyce anyone who expects Bluesky to do the right thing clearly hasn't been paying attention.
@benroyce
I saw some posts on this and didn't know what was going on. There will be more of these trolls coming as Bluesky gets more visibility. Why not just block them?
you can't just block them for the same rationale you articulate:
more will come if they get a foothold
@benroyce
There are many trolls there already. I have a long block list. Now I have almost no issues.
@benroyce
Yes I do see the problem. I have a long BLOCK list on Mastodon too. Some really insufferable people on here. 😆
well then the issue becomes
"bluesky is a positive space for those who wish to escape the bigoted degradations of twitter et al"
vs
"bluesky also welcomes bigots, you just have to maintain a comprehensive blocklist"
you can see why this pisses people off
@benroyce There's a level at which it's fair to say, "Okay, that was a long time ago, and that isn't who I am anymore." Thinking about young people who are feeling themselves on social media before they understand, well, the world. Those people deserve a little grace.
This guy? No.
@manualdousuario @NatureMC @benroyce
You could start this whataboutism at any level of criminal behavior. 'Today pedophiles, tomorrow, who knows?'
The account is clearly a bigot and troll harassing large numbers of people. Why doesn't that kind of child get put in the time out corner in your world?
