I'm sure there's at least one marxist that's verified on bsky, does that mean jack dorsey is a communist?
It would mean that communism is acceptable to him. What's tripping you up here?
So does that mean Dorsey is a nazbol since he agrees with both communists and fascists? There are neoliberals on bluesky as well, how does that affect our triangulation of his beliefs? I'm not saying you have to agree with how the company moderates its platform, but clearly as far as bluesky is concerned allowing someone to use the platform is not an endorsement of their views. It can't be, because they allow people with diametrically opposing ideologies to use their platform.
Allowing them on the platform doesn't mean a full endorsement of the belief. It means that he (or whoever makes the decision) finds the belief acceptable enough to platform.
There is likely some line which is too far, and not allowed on the platform. Perhaps "eating live babies"? "Kicking puppies"? Something that is so unacceptable, it would not be allowed. This argument is that ICE and Nazi stuff belongs on the far side. That as a platform owner, you can say "that's not allowed here".
Allowing one person to say "I think the NY Yankees are the best" and another to say "I think the NY mets are the best" on your platform (eg: website, newspaper, bulletin board) doesn't mean that you personally believe both. But if you let someone post "I think white people are best" and just leave that up, that's saying that's an acceptable message to say. Just harmless like talking about baseball.
This argument is some positions, like what ICE is doing, is outside the range of acceptable. The platform (a website in this case) should say they have to take that elsewhere.
I have zero disagreements with this comment. My read of the top level comment was pretty literal, which is a tendency I have that gets me into trouble sometimes.
Just a quick side-note: Dorsey is no longer in charge of Bluesky
Jay Graber is
clearly my commitment to showing my entire ass online is easy for me to stick to
