'Palestinians must be heard': Bluesky urged to review 'punitive' policies towards Gaza content
I hate this framing, that you have to be a "Gaza Account" or "Pro-palestinian" to say anything in support of Palestinians.
I'm not a rabid nutty "Genocide Joe" type, but any human being can acknowledge that what is going on is unacceptable.
I will say though, I suspect that a completely impartial LLM (although I understand that's not possible) moderating comments would tend to censor comments in support of palestine because... these comments tend to be more "robustly phrased" because the authors are getting frustrated at being ignored. Literally calling out war crimes and governments just label them anti-semites.
Bluesky is censoring anti genocide content ? Color me surprised
It wasnt fun while it lasted.
This article is relying on anecdotal evidence citing only a few random Reddit and Bluesky posts and some of the claims in the article are not backed by any evidence. Also note that the Reddit links I clicked on are all heavily downvoted.
Denise is a person that's been long involved in trust and safety analyzed a lot of the Gaza accounts and found that https://bsky.app/profile/rahaeli.bsky.social/post/3lpxyoe4efk26 only 18% of Gazans were actually posting in Gaza time. Of course she didn't publish hard data so this claim isn't 100% scientific either but the poster is pretty reputable I feel.
Note later as a counterargument to this I did find one person who claimed they have a 4 AM morning prayer. I don't know how many Gazans take part in that. https://bsky.app/profile/anothersmd.bsky.social/post/3lpyetkltys2y I did verify that some websites say they have a prayer at around 4 AM.
Also if you've ever used Bluesky before it used to be that you'd get random replies and mentions asking for money, recently they've gotten this much better under control.
So I think what is really happening is people post unsolicited requests for money on posts that are unrelated and they get correctly marked as spam.
Blue Sky has always been stupid.
Enjoy the empty platform.
Tbf there are laws, especially in europe that could fuck them for hosting this stuff. But then again they also were fine with a CP enjoyer promoting porn to kids.. and more of that kinds of stuff.
Doesn’t Bluesky also love a bit of Transphobia?
I'd like it if you would provide proof instead of spouting baseless conjecture for internet points 🙂
