guys if there’s discourse occurring off-site where people think we have a “racism toggle” you have to tell me. i have no idea what this could mean other than “they got us mixed up with bluesky”

It was actually hearing about the racism toggle on bluesky that made me throw my hands up and come here full time
There’s a settings option for whether you want to see posts from hate groups, see them with a content warning, or hide them.

bluesky has no plans to moderate by removing people from the platform unless they are forced by legal obligation; they plan to do as much of it as possible by creating custom moderation view filters, which winds up as a community curated list of toggle settings for various kinds of hate speech that's allowed to thrive there.
i'm not exaggerating that is literally the pitch for the business

even in a couple discord servers I'm in people are getting blue "racism toggle" sky and cohost mixed up, clearing it up is hard ;w ;
I do have to know now what is Bluesky's racist toggle.
In the content settings Bluesky lets you select if you wanna block, warn or do nothing WRT content from a political hate group.
It’s Jack Twitter’s backup website so it’s ultimate fate is, at best, “what would Twitter be like if the employees hadn’t pressured Jack to ban more Nazis” but that part’s just my take.
twitter really has thoroughly destroyed peoples' ability to distinguish anything from anything huh
Just sitting here trying to imagine the sort of person who could confuse cohost and bluesky. Maybe the same type that buys an xbox to play switch games...
