A: Hey there! What's up?
B: Not much, just scrolling through Bluesky. Seems like it's all about waffles lately.
A: Haha, you ain't kidding! I've seen these weird waffle posts too. But listen, there might be more to it than meets the eye.
B: Oh, really? Tell me more.
A: So, this Jerry Chen guy made a joke about some Bluesky users hating pancakes, and the CEO liked it. Then, someone asked if they've banned this Jesse Singal yet, and the CEO just said "WAFFLES!"
B: Wait, who's Jesse Singal? And why is he a problem for them?
A: Well, last year, he was criticized for his writings on trans issues. People even made a petition to ban him! He was also the most blocked user until this Vice President guy surpassed him.
B: Oh, I see. So, this waffle thing is about that controversy, right?
A: Exactly! And there's more to it. Users keep criticizing the CEO, but she keeps responding with waffle posts or vague comments. Some even think she doesn't care about the community anymore and wants to get rid of Bluesky.
B: That sounds complicated... But it also shows that some users are upset because they feel the company isn't standing up for them.
A: Exactly! They built a reputation as a haven for marginalized users, but now some think they're being unfair to certain users like Jesse Singal. The CEO keeps emphasizing that Bluesky is about decentralization and not politics, though.
B: I guess we'll see where this goes... Seems like it's just another day on the internet!
