Boycotting food because it's Halal has got to to be one of the absolute dumbest and pointless things fakeass Christian MAGA morons have ever tried to do, and they've done some pretty stupid things. Most of this is just performative outrage for views, anyway. They have no sense.

Watching the far right get their panties in a bunch over Tillamook is both laughable and pathetic at the same time.

Aaron, simply *referencing* camps when talking to someone who is under the sort of existential threat that trans people are should be unacceptable. it doesn't need to be a "direct threat".
Are they threatening trans users directly? No. Trans folks in the US have been targeted repeatedly. That's awful and you have my sympathy.
Within the context of a single post we wouldn't consider it a direct threat or targeting a protected category. Ie send trans folks to concentration camps.

I'm just going to say I disagree. Telling trans people they will be sent to concentration camps does constitute a threat, especially when coming from cis people who hold immense amounts of privilege over us structurally in society. You even admit it's awful that we've been targeted here in America-

the post you referenced *was* saying trans ppl deserve to be sent to the camps. are you saying that isn’t a threatening message targeted at a protected category? or that it is one and you just don’t care. if it’s the former, you cant read and shouldn’t be moderating websites. if its the latter, wtf.

This response should be instant removal from his position. It is not just tone deaf, it tone deaf to the degree that it paints the company itself in a bad light. If the standard for toxicity is wide enough to include that statement than there is no standard at all.

Hi @aaron.bsky.team! One of the Jewish users of your site here!
Just wanting some clarification that threatening or hoping to send a specific group of people to a concentration camp is NOT considered a threat, & is fine? Is that correct?
Could you also clarify trans not being a protected category?

It is extremely, EXTREMELY, insensitive to descendants of the Holocaust to in any way downplay the seriousness of talking about people being "sent to camps", a statement that should not be normalized in any way at all. Ever. Because of all the people that died, Aaron.

Endorsing a HOSTILE environment that lets bullies enact psychological harm to vulnerable users—significant proportion of your site’s user demographs btw—is grossly violating the scope of what we assume “Bluesky Head of Trust and Safety” means.
