Several of you seem to be misunderstanding. When he says “like Twitter” it’s not in the negative ways you are thinking. It’s in the negative ways he’s thinking. Meaning censorship and being able to ban accounts. He doesn’t want that. Mastodon would have the same criticisms if he commented on it.
bluesky has a robust moderation system which blocks transphobes, bigots, and racism which is why jack hates it.
It doesn’t block them though does it? My understanding is that it simply filters them so that you don’t see them anymore. They’re still there doing their thing though.
You’re correct. It doesn’t stop Nazis from having a home or building a following. It just allows users to not see it.
It does block them more so than on fedi. When I block someone they can’t see my content nor account, they can’t log out and go see my content. It’s not just filtered, also they have banned accounts and removed content
Uh… source? This runs counter to everything I’ve seen and read about it.
So it’s like Reddit
They built it to be another Twitter.
That’s what I was thinking. Wasn’t that the point?
Everyone on Masto/Fedi has been memeing about this since the start: Whatever platform Dorsey’s on becomes Twitter, lol.
At least Dorsey is thinking about social platforms, problems. Did you even read the post or simply spouting what your tribe says in your echo chamber?
Twitter is merely a Nazi bar when what Jack wanted was a Turbo-Nazi bar.
jwz: Blockchain Rasputin over here is mad that moderation exists
It has been obvious to anyone paying attention that the reason Dorsey founded and funded Bluesky was with the end goal of enabling Twitter to go [Spider-Man Pointing dot GIF] any time an actual Nazi showed up, because moderation was not their problem, they just outsourced it to a series of nested shell companies (that they fund) who act as reputation laundries and liability crumple zones.
Now he pouts and says the quiet part out loud.
Man…no leadership, no accountability, just a rich billionaire drifter acting like he has principles. Idgaf, I like fediverse, and I like my block button…it’s the only alt I’ve found that isn’t a rightwing cess pool full of degens.
I feel like he doesn’t understand that he’s the common denominator here…?
I thought it was meant to be the new twitter, by design… wut?
He means they are trying not to be the Nazi bar, and added an homeopathic amount of moderation to the platform.
it’s meant to be twitter by ui and feel, for sure.
i’d also say it’s meant to be more like twitter from a decade ago when twitter actually had a functioning moderation system and kept toxicity away. the moderation system, which is open sourced and allows anyone to add on to, is one of the best.
i’m subscribed to https://bsky.app/profile/aegis.blue, which blocks or hides antisemites, bigots, racists, transphobes, you name it.
Not at all.
I’m on Bluesky and my view of it, at least, is absolutely nothing like Twitter. I’m glad he quit it before he could really turn it into another Nazi-infested hellhole.
Why not sell it to the next fascist for billions of dollars and make yourself rich again?
He really doesn’t understand people, does he?
He’s like the libertarian techbro equivalent of a Stalinist tankie.
Lmao who would have guessed! Oh wait
https://www.piratewires.com/p/interview-with-jack-dorsey-mike-solana the original article
Too bad most commenting haven’t read the interview (what else is new, eh?). I like this, Jack Dorsey responding to a question on how the US government had its hooks into Twitter’s leadership before the buyout:
I think it was problematic, and I also don’t think the people who got called out in the Twitter Files get enough credit for pushing back on government requests. The U.S. is certainly one of them. Twitter has a track record of fighting the U.S. on free speech causes, especially around transparency reports. Opening the lens even broader to other governments, we had even more fights. Tons of fights with India, Turkey, Russia, Nigeria. These are all governments that threatened arrest of our employees, raided our employees’ homes, offices, asking for phone numbers and personal information for accounts that were critical of the governments. I think that was one part that’s overlooked and not appreciated.
Two things can be true at the same time: that Twitter & Nostr have become Nazi bars and that the large US corporate social media platforms (Meta, X, Alphabet, Reddit, etc.) have become constituent parts of the US military-intelligence-industrial complex.
Jack is mostly on Nostr, good thing Nostr is more independent to Jack influence.
Nostr is ultimately the way forward and he knows it. Nobody controlling your identity other than yourself.
Them promoting crypto is fishy. I don’t like Nostr.
How is nostr promoting crypto?
Promoting crypto you say?
They only use Bitcoin (optional) which is getting highly regulated.
It seem many here are against it.
