   #Bluesky appears to be in meltdown mode.

   Last night they were bombarded with slur usernames and haphazardly applied a patch to enforce a blocked word list on sign up.

   Nobody from their usually chatty team has posted in 24 hours. No explanation, no apologies, no "we're going to hire someone who knows Trust & Safety".

     I've personally ceased posting there and won't engage with the #Bluesky platform again, until they get serious about basic Trust & Safety concepts.

     They just raised $8M in funding, but somehow it took them months and a wave of terrible usernames showing up on their feeds to block using slurs in usernames.
