@briankrebs get a load of this - i replied to someone about #trans day of remembrance and this asshole shows up in my feed

@emory jfc..on EVERY level.. Is there a "report" function there? Is it a viable tool? Thanks for the warning..

@stoicybele @emory yes, there is a report. and yes, it's effective. What Emory doesn't mention is that account was banned almost immediately.

@mmasnick @stoicybele because i didn't know. i blocked them immediately but took a screenshot, if you do a search for a certain keyword in the tenant fqdn of that asshole there are probably several more just like him. i don't have time to spend curating scumbags on social media.

@stoicybele @mmasnick look i have been publishing on the web since ncsa mosaic, i expect trolls and assholes. i wasn't surprised a nazi transphobe immediately popped up the moment i said something kind about trans people, it was the fact that it's interspersed between posts from people celebrating freedom from nazi phobes and trolls on twitter while nazi phobes wave. i was following five people maybe so the new user experience at bluesky could be very similar to that and that would suck.

@emory @stoicybele i'm not going to argue back on any of this. it sucks., assholes are trying to invade, but the site has set up tools that deal with them. (1) trust & safety team is taking that shit seriously and reports are acted upon quickly. (2) there are numerous subscribable blocklists that have been adding these accounts as quickly as they show up, so people subbed to them are auto-protected against them.

@mmasnick @stoicybele sorry for contributing to the frustration, i was probably overreacting and i didn't mean to end up arguing with someone i respect, i just felt like you were missing my point that the irony of people highfiving themselves over leaving twitter bookended between phobes and nazis was just too much

@emory @stoicybele it's cool. I totally get it. No one wants to deal with those fuckers.
