Hey Jay Graber, Paul Frazee, Emily Liu, Rose Wang you have an incredibly bad anti-blackness problem on your platform. It says you are hiring. Where is the posting for your head of Trust and Safety? Why is this such a big problem every week or two it seems? If you don't want to run a social media platform, split the company in twain and go focus on the protocol and fund the platform with another team that cares. Or do you not care about marginalized groups?

Hey Neo, are you aware that your most recent investment Bluesky PBLLC has a pretty big anti-blackness problem? They didn't even think to block the N word from being in usernames... that's just 101 level. They did block someone from taking the username 'danieltosh' at least... yeah... It's a VERY recurring problem of anti-blackness and the entire userbase is not happy. The company has refused to make an apology or statement, barely doing an update to the codebase.
If you took a board seat in your seed investment, can you be reached for comment regarding not hiring a Trust & Safety Lead? Is this what you want to be associated with? I can mention some reporters in the comments that might like to write a story on it.
Ali Partovi, Suzanne Xie, Jan C., Emily Cohen, Stephen Cornwell please address immediately with your investment.
Are you okay with this type of lax attitude regarding Trust and Safety towards underrepresented groups being associated with your brands Neo mentors? Aduke Thelwell, Amir Kantor, Anand Subramani, Aston Motes, Ben Newhouse, Camille Ricketts, Carol Reiley, Claire Shorall, David Mace, Fuzzy K., Jason Dorfman, Jehron W. Petty, Jesse Zhang, Kyle Parrish, Lin-Hua Wu, Maria Zhang, Melissa Tan, Neha G., Omoju Miller, Pavla Bobosikova, Pierre Martin, Shyamal Hitesh Anadkat, Sima Gandhi, Rainer Sainvil, Alan Flores-López, Anne Solmssen, Ansh Nanda, Ari Steinberg, Asta L., Dhruvik P., Mihir Garimella, Neil Patil, Nidhi J.
It's simple to say we're sorry and will do better. Why is the company refusing to do this. T&S is an urgent need if Bluesky is going to actually be a social platform and not only develop the protocol. Please spur them to do the right thing.
@davidgerard The devs have started blocking the users on bsky, several of them locked their twitter accounts, and one of them took their website offline.
