twitter with a liberal coat of paint is still shit
Who could have guessed, still waiting for actually decentralized social media platforms to take over the world. Mastodon is making good progress in that regard at the least.

None waffle, left fruit
I am confused by this. In the context screenshot, you are banned for a post. This is a picture of a waffle. How are these things related? Does the CEO even know that you were banned?
It was this
What the fuck is going on?
from what i've gathered between this post and some posts on the hexbear mastodon instance, the C suite at bluesky are going directly out of their way to continue platforming some abusive transphobe despite sustained and deafening backlash. and they're doing so with this silly fash rhetoric of the fundamental unreasonability of asking for bigots to be removed.
I got excited when people started leaving twitter and there was an uptik on mastodon but then the vast majority of people wound up on bluesky and hey maybe they could have seen this coming
People assuming that everyone is following Twitter drama. I'm guessing there's 4 levels of explanation needed to understand why I should be angry. I didn't even think bluesky was popular.
it isn't.. but hexbear seems to have some perverse fascination with it
It's not about me. 'Waffles' was her stupid reaction to users asking her about moderating transphobia and nazi hate speech on her site.
Literally just
“We agree that social media shouldn’t be this way, so you’re going to ban these cyberbullies turning bluesky into something you say you don’t want, right?”
“Whoa whoa whoa! I NEVER SAID THAT! That’s totally different!”
How dense can someone be? And why does she want to protect trolls so badly?
the right side of the waffle is communism, i think
I have no idea who this is but that is a dry ass waffle
CEO of Bluesky, who is being incredibly insensitive to the non-fascist users right now
The CEO of the fascist web site designed to be just like the other fascist web site is fascist?
Oh cool, that’s the ceo of the alleged twitter alternative literally ragebaiting her users because they want her to do her job and ban a troll.
What’s her reason anyway for this? Some phony ‘muh freeze peach’ or just pure ‘but I dun feel like it!”
Probably some lib mantra like "If people hate you, it means you're standing up for something" or some bullshit.
CEO of Social Media Company
nobody should ever be surprised by shit like this from people like that.
Assume she put some syrup on it after this pick, that waffle actually looks pretty good.
@Saymaz@lemmygrad.ml (dunno if thatll tag you properly), this probably belongs in like !gossip@hexbear.net or something
👍
carbs, topped with more carbs, lightly sprinkled with pure carbs. Perfect for a long day of doing absolutely nothing
How do you know it’s not lightly sprinkled with cocaine? That could make for a very productive day.
