Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'
(www.nbcnews.com)
journalists flocking to a site built on the backs of trans people and they'll still refuse to hire/interview trans people when talking about trans issues.
This is interesting. Why build on the backs? Did trans people contribute to it a lot, or are we talking about the early user base?
trans people (and sex workers too) were early adopters who left twitter for it and helped shaped the block list, safety features, and moderation system that it boasts today
Wow, that's good to know. Did you know the blocking feature in Activity Pub also ended up there because of queer and feminist people?
Also reminds me of Party Block, a discontinued Twitter blocking app developed by a feminist tech-startup. And Shinigami Eyes of course. The blocking system of BlueSky seems to have best of both worlds. This is exciting!
