4/ As more South Asian users join Bluesky, the platform—having expressed a commitment to user safety—must proactively confront the rise of inflammatory casteist, racial, and religious hate speech.

3/ Although Bluesky’s decentralized, non-algorithmic design allows users greater control over the content they see, significant gaps remain. Our findings indicate that Islamophobic, casteist, and racist hate speech continues to circulate on the platform.

2/ 📈Our new report focuses on the proliferation of hate speech on Bluesky against South Asians. Our research shows that South Asian users are actively exploring innovative ways to leverage Bluesky’s tools to create safer spaces on the platform.

1/ The recent influx of global users to the social media platform Bluesky has created significant opportunities for meaningful discourse, as users increasingly migrate from platforms like X, Threads, Instagram, and FB in search of alternative spaces for community building. 🫂

🎉2/ The court rejected this allegation, stating that the arguments were “entirely unpersuasive”. Caste equity & civil rights leaders are applauding the court’s decision, which reaffirms that CA is legally obligated to protect all of its citizens from caste-based discrimination.

⚖️1/ A historic ruling by a US Federal Court determined that defending the civil rights of caste-oppressed people does not constitute religious infringement. This news follows the court’s dismissal of a lawsuit, which claimed that caste protections violate religious freedom.

Today, we remember the life and legacy of the revolutionary anti-caste figure Ramabai Ambedkar. 💙.
