A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

What happened?
Jesse Singal joined bluesky and was in contact with a well known fascist site about what to do about trans people there.
Then Bluesky moderation rolled out the red carpet and gave him the VIP treatment for it, seemingly only for being a journalist despite his terrible views.
Here is an article about it: https://www.advocate.com/business/bluesky-jesse-singal
What was the "VIP treatment"?
From the article, it seems like they let him join and get blocked just like anyone else.
