Guess it's time to post more on Mastodon. Bluesky's decided doxxing is cool. I have PTSD about that after a few run-ins with lying cunts and dipshit moderation on Twitter.
There's been a few examples of doxxing, but now there's co-ordinated "pressure groups" naming and giving full addresses of people it accuses of platform manipulation and misinformation on Twitter. The source is another group on Telegram.
However, it doesn't actually matter who they are. Either a site has rules that forbid the publication of private individuals' details or it doesn't.
The Bluesky mods need to decide if they do.
Otherwise, you're right into the Twitter situation where the rules are only applied if there's the slightest chance the platform will get its arse sued.
And that leaves 99.999% of users at the mercy of anyone who wishes them harm. Yes, you do have to defend those you disagree with if you want any claim to being on the side of justice, not capital.
In the Dorsey interview, our hero goes on about whether Australia has the right to ban content it doesn't like.
Australia is a nice vanilla choice as the censorship "bad guy", but you don't need to swap "Russia" or "China" in for "Australia" to see why it's problematic.
Let's imagine the world before the internet.
Town A is a peaceful, largely pleasant and prosperous place.
It's neighbour, Town B, wants to meddle in Town A's affairs. So it hires dozens of planes to drop leaflets on Town A. Endlessly.
Not one single Town A citizen has to be swayed by the message for the campaign to bear fruit.
Town A is now knee-deep in leaflets. The litter is blowing around everywhere, causing accidents when they land on car windscreens, causing plants to die for lack of sunlight, generally making Town A's inhabitants unhappy. (Besides anything else, their taxes are being used for the ill-equipped clean-up efforts.)
The townsfolk become angry, and many leave. Those that remain are constantly stressed.
This is Jack Dorsey's "freedom".
Fuck him. I told you he was the real cause of Twitter's problems.
