the screenshot of the ceo of #bluesky #blueskysocial saying "we didn't do blocks because they're hard" is a straight-up admission to not being serious about solving the nazi problem.

they didn't care about [harassment] until it was Matt Yfyi for the splainer downthread, we "know" that they're planning on doing algorithmic content moderation because it's a jack dorsey venture, and jack dorsey is a known machine-learning maximalist, we worked at twitter for years, we can read between the lines as to what the fuck is happening when the site is implementing a categorization system, there is 0 chance that these people in specific are going to continue to manually categorize, and there is also 0 chance that they are going to consider literal nazis actual hate speech
