Bluesky T&S have shat the bed and basically told all trans people on the site to go fuck themselves.

I've turned off my fediverse-bluesky bridge. Still have the capability to crosspost there, but I'm not planning to now. Am getting better engagement here anyway.

@goatsarah
Yep. I also turned off my Fediverse-Bluesky bridge as soon as it became clear Jesse Singal would be tolerated. And deleted my other account I was following a few trans folk on

We know where this is leading, though it will be spun

@Natasha_Jay @goatsarah I bookmarked bridgy to follow up, but that’s redundant now

@grissallia
I had hopes and was playing around with it

The fact I post fairly freely here about life, selfies etc, means I don't consider it safe to bridge outwards to Bluesky

Also I'm hearing about kiwifarms bots from friends ...

Definitely halting the experiment

Public

@Natasha_Jay ewwwww kiwifarms bots 😬 yeah, nah. @grissallia

@Natasha_Jay there was a vibe to Bluesky that was different to Masto. I feel like Masto leads to longer, more thoughtful posting, but BS had that rapid-fire quippy energy that Twitter used to do so well.

I've been a huge fan since I joined two years ago. The vibe here is very different and safe. I'd like to have interacted with a few people on BSky I know who won't come here but ... 🤷🏻‍♀️
