I joined "BlueSky" (against my better judgement) last week so I could contact people/services that aren't on Masto.

I made the mistake of responding to a post attacking Thomas Jefferson for failing to live up to a moral standard we clearly haven't even achieved in 2025, and the knives came out.

Every self-important child misrepresented my claim, accused me of defending slavery & child rape 🙄, and bombed me with 400 posts in one hour.

BlueSky = Romper Room. 🤦‍♂️

@MugsysRapSheet just so everyone on the bluesky sucks bandwagon is aware of context, this is a direct quote of an entire post of this guy’s over there about chattel slavery in the US (seriously):

“Simply being "owned" isn't "horrific" (all wives were "owned"), or do you not believe providing "safe haven" was a form of protection?

By that standard, the Van Daan family that hid the family of Anne Frank were subjecting them to "horrific mistreatment." 🤦”
