I came to @bsky.app for a number of reasons but the most important was that people I care about are/feel safer here keeping that true is THE most important thing please, bsky team, keep this place safe for everyone 🙏

Bsky adoption will probably reverse if they start banning people for what they do off bsky. I can already feel how the discourse on bsky has been chilled recently and you can see it in the usage numbers too. I'd say any such policy is incompatible with VC funding that want ROI.

the chill you are feeling is caused by people not feeling safe.

That is not supported by numbers.

When I create a new user on x I see lots and lots of right wing friendly content. When I create a new user on bsky I see lots and lots of left wing friendly content. On old twitter I used to see both. I miss the days where right and left wingers were angry at the same moderation team.

oh, I don't think bluesky is or should be aligned politically but safety is quite another thing

Are there other social media sites that enforce "no sharing of content from users that blocked you" even on other platforms? There's no technically reliable way of doing this, so it does not seem like a reasonable demand. And it's definitely coming from the more left wing side.
