Bluesky is under fire for allowing usernames with racial slurs
Bluesky’s moderation woes continue as users threaten to leave the site in protest of its failure to flag slurs in account usernames. Many users — particularly Black users — are frustrated that Bluesky hasn’t apologized for allowing racial slurs to slip through its moderation tools even though they violate the platform’s community guidelines. “Our community guidelines published yesterday reflect our values for a healthy community, and we’re working on becoming better stewards every day,” Bluesky CEO Jay Graber said in a post on Saturday.

"bluesky elder" is a meme from when some of the oldheads who signed up for bluesky in like january saw the influx of new users and tried to make a power play for manners and rules and what you can and can't do. Bee was in this and she called herself a "bluesky elder" which everyone promptly laughed
btw, yes I coined “Bluesky Elder” few know what it means I was referencing different groups from beta who had come to see Bluesky as a sort of safe haven, I was drawing attention to how it was becoming less safe at the time but everyone would rather think i was trying to be superior #BlueskyLore
MOST IMPORTANTLY coined the phrase "bluesky elder", which i am still blocked by her for riffing on lol anyway, predatory skeeviness of the site back then makes a lot more sense when viewed in the lens of an online version of this vanityfair.com/news/2018/01/brotopia-silicon…

www.vanityfair.comIt’s a running joke based on a now thankfully forgotten poster who coined the term to describe those of us who’ve been here since the earlier invite era. To be clear, “bluesky elder” is deliberately self-deprecating and derogatory. The joke is it’s not a good thing (she thought it was tho)
