They were silent for a week while we begged them to do something about Jesse Singal literally saying he was going to brigade the site with his followers from Twitter, and when they did finally say something official, it was a long thread about how transphobia is acceptable as long as the transphobes are slightly crafty with it or at least "polite." Bluesky went to great length to detail the line that will get an account banned, and said they're ok with someone toeing right up to that line as long as they don't cross it.
