Bluesky CEO’s ‘Waffles’ Comment Sparks Fresh Moderation Debate

[nihalsari]

A meme about waffles has reignited moderation controversy on social network Bluesky. CEO Jay Graber replied “WAFFLES!” to a user asking whether journalist Jesse Singal had been banned, prompting criticism from users.
Singal has been the platform’s most-blocked account and subject of a 28,000-signature petition. Graber defended the company’s approach, saying harassment has “never worked” and even joked, “Are you paying us? Where?”

Online moderation is always a gray area. One comment can start an entire policy rethink.
