But I would also like to take a second, before you enjoy too much schadenfreude, to point out that by and large PoC communities also are not safe on Mastodon.
A huge amount of the feedback being levied on Bluesky’s lasseiz faire moderation policies also apply to us here.
I have very little faith Bluesky will improve, but we still could.

The three pieces of context I want to bring together are:
1. This impacts a tiny percentage of young people in the US.
2. Despite that, the damange being done to these kids is very high, and could be life threatening for some.
3. The full threat is much larger. There's a potential for precedents that could fundamentally change the relationship Americans have with medical care and place governments run by Christian zealots in the middle of deciding what medical treatments are allowed.
Working from home is an act of reclamation. I shed not one single tear for the end of the abuse that going to an office enables (paying for each day's travel, constant interruptions, terrible work environments designed by executives who don't feel the pain of these environments, etc.)
Rezone that office space as residential and do something about housing affordability.
