Pretty sure he did that on purpose so he can tell the public how awful and disgusting he thinks Bluesky is in the future.

[-] forrgott@lemmy.sdf.org 107 points 2 months ago

Oh absolutely. He's a slimy little fuckstain.

Do you think JD understands the irony that posting an exerpt from Justice Thomas that is against appealing to the authority of "experts", is, in itself, in fact appealing to the authority of an "expert", Justice Thomas, to support his stance? His stance of course being that medical treatment of minors with gender dysphoria in a way that does anything but reinforce the gender on their birth certificate is bad medicine/science. And both Vance and Justice Thomas also, being... I see here "not experts in anything remotely to do with medical science, gender dysphoria, adolescent development, or any field at all that would inform any semblance of a valid opinion on the matter of how to properly treat these kids medically" might, in fact, make their stance a little bit non-authoritative. Maybe both of them should stay in their lanes of bad faith partisan political theatre, bribery, and forcing the sprint we are all on towards fascism. That seems to be where their real skill sets are.

I'mma stop you right there and say no

[-] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 months ago

it's not even factually accurate since the majority of medical organizations agree there's no harm in transitioning.

"a screenshot from clearsky showing jd vance's account as the most blocked in 24 hours on bluesky"

it's going well.

also lol'ing at the fact that he's jd-vance-1 because jd-vance was taken by a parody account which has a big banner reading "I did not fuck a couch".

I wonder if he was mass reported and temporarily automod banned

[-] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 24 points 2 months ago

i assume that or they banned him before they confirmed it was him

[-] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 56 points 2 months ago

He could join one of the Nazi mastodon instances, although I bet he is already on his boss’.

[-] untakenusername@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 months ago

I heard somewhere truthsocial is a fork of mastodon but has no federation built in

[-] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 48 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Both Truth and Gab are running on mastodon, yes. Truth doesn't federate, Gab was retaliatory blocked across the fediverse

[-] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 28 points 2 months ago

even stupider, i believe it's a horrible out of date fork of mastodon that's insecure as fuck

[-] untakenusername@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 months ago

insecure as fuck

then its only a matter of time before they get done to them what those trans hackers did to Andrew Tates social media a few months ago. I think they were trans, idk all I remember about the attack is that they flooded all the chatrooms on it with trans flag emojis and leaked all the user data

He should join one of the tankie Lemmy instances for a real choice treatment. That would be fun for to watch for 5 minutes

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 months ago

What we would give for that

[-] Auth@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

I'd pay so much money to see JD get 1v1000 dogpiled by tankies on any topic. It might be one of the few times i'd be on their side.

Is Justice Thomas a doctor or a scientist? No?

Then who gives a shit what his opinion is. He should be listening to the experts...not contradicting them. If his ruling is based solely on his personal feelings on this topic, then he needs to recuse himself from this case.

[-] KingGordon@lemmy.world 36 points 2 months ago

The account is back. I reported it for misinformation and lying.

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 36 points 2 months ago

This looks like some good sealioning. He probably didn’t write it himself. I think he was playing to his fans and trying to discredit Bluesky and its community guidelines. I wonder if Musk paid him, or if he did this on his own.

[-] utopiah@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

What a pos. nobody is "pushing" these medicines on kids. it's ultimately the kid's decision about whether they want these medications or not and I'm not aware of any cases to the contrary. also these medications have been used for literal decades so how can they be experimental? how do you expect people to trust you when you lie so blatantly? glad he got banned.

Happy Pride Month ❤️

[-] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago

also these medications have been used for literal decades so how can they be experimental?

Honest answer: the drugs are being used off-label. It's not even experimental, it's basically a wildcat way of using them. An experiment would involve control groups and a double-blind trial, among other things.

I'm saying this because this is what rightoids are saying as criticism and you need to be able to counter that with facts. Right now, there just isn't enough information and that's what they're capitalizing on.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

there just isn't enough information and that's what they're capitalizing on.

40 years of using hormone blockers for precocious puberty. "Not enough info." Fuck the whole way off.

double-blind trial

No. The data is fine. It doesn't need to be perfect.

He’s not wrong about medical companies influencing patient care. He’s just wrong about who and why.

Talking about the highlighted part of Thomas's statement. They're enshrining anti-intellectualism into court rulings

[-] rational_lib@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

The biggest delusion in modern society is thinking that a Twitter-like social media network is "the place to go for common sense political discussion and analysis".

I keep hearing the media repeat this bullshit. Twitter is not and never was the "public square". It's a place for morons to be morons and heart each other for being morons.

The account was banned, and then reinstated after being verified.

His first posts didn't get him banned.

Says can’t trust experts because they are clouded by ideology and bribed by industry quotes an judicial expert who’s entire job is to inject right wing ideology into the judicial branch while being motivated by bribes.

And this is the point where he playbooks "i was just asking questions i was just being reasonable why are you so mean unreasonable leftist echo chamber etcetc"

Which only works when people let it. A swift "you started ranting crazy bullshit" is what is needed here.

He should make a tumblr account. Tumblr admins are happy for people to post death threats against trans people and wishes for genocide, but ban trans people for calling out transphobic pseudoscience and Holocaust denial.
