Essentially Bsky users finally discovered that their "safe space" social media site is in fact run by people that actually really don't like them.
the meat and potatoes is their "ceo" mocked the user base when people called her out for banning people that spoke ill of Charlie Kirk while not banning the most blocked user on the site, Jessie Signal, a transphobic journalist.
She then "encouraged" users to not post as a form of protest. Also somehow Lowtax's ex wife got involved. It's weird a weird mess and it's not a good look for either side. A. the bluesky userbase looks foolish for believing this social media site was different and a "safe space" when it wasn't. and B. Bluesky themselves look foolish for mocking said user base.
