@kissane I find it interesting having seen hundreds of people on bluesky argue for their "right" to use ableist slurs this week are also possibly the same people that had a hard time with feeling picked on because someone asked them to use a CW.

that part i actually like, and consider it part of figuring out the social structures of a new social media. for me I've been more into bluesky definitely because of discoverability and its simplicity

@kissane sorry I know you're just providing data but that so called debate actually got me to come back to masto

@Fullnihilism Maybe! I block a LOT of people on Bluesky for shit like that, so I feel like that should reduce some of the worst nonsense, but I'm sure some slip through.

A couple were scientists talking about their work and being told to CW, several wanted to talk about their experiences with racism or their transitions and got yelled at. Probably a mix.

@kissane yeah those instances are not ok at all, I want to be clear. but I have seen many people that have complained about that (being chided for not using a CW or following various rules they werent aware of) that are also the people arguing to be able to use ableist slurs which were overwhelmingly a majority of mutual followers, it was kind of shocking.

@Fullnihilism Yeah, I'm sure *some* of those jerks weaseled into the replies.
