Last week, the platform faced its most significant controversy yet: user backlash against journalist and media personality Jesse Singal joining the platform. Singal, who has reported on people who reversed their gender transitions among other topics pertaining to trans people, hosts a podcast that critiques perceived left-wing biases in media.
An incredibly generous account of who Jesse Signal is, and what he does. Reading this article, you’d think Signal was the victim. It’s also clear that Bluesky is officially a media darling that can do no wrong; just a smol bean trying to moderate the best they can.
My heart goes out to the trans folks who have to deal with this shit everyday, and who’ve only ever asked to be treated like humans, and be left alone.
