Big things happening on the butterfly site

This is why decentralisation is important. I assume the poster has no way to change Bluesky sites?
Like this is why they should join a Fediverse instance. Like blahaj.zone will probably suit them

Well it’s one thing to specify you’re wishing harm to her finances. But saying you wish someone ill without specifying absolutely implies wishing them harm.
Nah it kinda just sounds like they don't like her
-
I wish that her socks always feel damp.
I wish that her sleeves always get wet when she's washing her hands.
I wish that she always loses when gambling on a fart.
Not trying to defend her at all, but I seriously doubt those are actual examples of the things being said and even if, all of this would cause a regular person psychological distress (or "harm", even if not physical).
I don't know how Bulesky's TOS are worded exactly, but it feels a bit like that whole "Guns don't kill people, I kill people. With guns." motif.

No matter what people say about Bluesky, I will always say we should be using mastodon, until Bluesky makes good on true federation, it's still a platform that can be controlled.

Have you read Harry Potter? It's not like she can write as It is.
I have read the entire Harry Potter series (before she outed herself as being scum). And calling her writing bad is disingenuous. She isn't a bad writer, or more accurately she wasn't. (It's notable that her writing started to degrade very sharply not long after she outed herself as a TERF).
She is a fucking horrid human being as are Orson Scott Card and Scott Adams along with a few others who's true colors shined through due to the pervasive nature of social media. But to blandly call their works "shitty" just as a lazy dig at them degrades you, not them. It makes your opinion worthless.
J.K. Rowling is an absolute dipshit asswipe who should be tarred, feathered, and run out on a rail anywhere she goes. And more people should say so as loudly as possible. But the Harry Potter books were beloved by millions for a reason. If only she had gone blind, deaf, and dumb after she finished writing them.

Broke T&Cs got banned, Rowling is irrelevant in this context. You think the T&Cs breach should be ignored because it’s Rowling?
2 day old account. First and only engagement is to defend a transphobe...

We told them not to use Bluesky and what will eventually happen but they didn't want to listen

They literally made tons of account on mastodon just to ignore them for this fucking bootleg of it, called bsky

Personally, I think wishing harm on people that cause harm is completely OK. As for my wishes, those are inconveniences at most.

I wish JK Rowling's brain turns into a mush
Oh wait that already happens

I have a bluesky account on an alternate server, so they can't ban me for wishing ill on JK Rowling, even if they wanted to.

It did make good on true federation.

Eh, her works may not be so poorly written as to be shitty, but they're just a pretty average story with a good editor. Her action scenes were average, tension building slightly above, and her characters were below. I'm sure if you went through the books with a fine tooth comb you could find a witty sentence or interesting paragraph, but nothing that would really stand out.

Isn't their federation really fucking weird though? Like you can't run a federated server unless you're capable of handling 100% of all the posts on the entire platform? That's a pretty huge barrier, and one could argue it's less "federation" and more "mirroring".

No.
Their federation does differ from the fediverse's, essentially, people have PDSes (personal data servers) which are just dumb datastores. These store data like your posts, likes, follows and blocks publicly.AppViews are the other part, these take the data from PDSes and index it, and sort out interactions/notifications.
AppViewLite, for example, can be self hosted on any computer, and can be set to only take posts from select users, and discard posts after a while.

Maybe, I can't really comment on what she did or "deserves" for it. I just know she made some transphobic remarks in the past, which is messed up. But there's still a difference between someone with a twisted world view and Trump/Putin who actually incarcerate and sponsor torture of people.
However, the discussion was on whether something is "harmful" or not and you may actually argue that her BS doesn't physically "harm" anyone either, if you try to make that point.

Rowling spends her considerable fortune to actively influence policy to hurt trans people.

Um what? The hate for JKR is quite active on bsky. OP smoking crack; we hate that bitch.

Or even neutral lol
