   So, the #Bluesky Jesse Singal controversy is getting real...

   "By keeping him, Bluesky risks harming the community, depleting its goodwill, and losing users, while also sending a signal to others that bad actors and harassers are welcome there."

   "In February, the company hired a former Twitter/X Trust & Safety exec, Aaron Rodericks... [who] is now receiving a massive amount of inbound from Bluesky users, asking him to take action on Singal’s account."

     Pretty interesting. It seems that #Bluesky is staring at the prospect of legal and regulatory trouble if they ban Jesse Singal. So, this is another way in which corporate social media is vulnerable.

     It could be that Jay Graber, and even her Blockchain Capital investors, actually want to take action, but they are afraid of the potential business consequences.

     When moderation decisions such as these are centralized in a corporate suite, the potential for outside leverage is enormous.

     @mastodonmigration Actually, it's an information war. Although not intellectually smart, the far-right understood that it needs to control the discourse in the social networks. This, they managed and they even were able to over one: Twitter. And now they ensure that the "refugees" fleeing to another platform can't feel safe there either.

     Fediverse works different: of course, Singal's still free to set up his own toxic server - just to find his echo-chamber blocked by other instances.
