I also don’t spend time on there, but from what I’ve gathered from Hexbear, an admin was asked about banning a notorious transphobe and she replied “waffles teehee xD”, which didn’t go over well with users.
Basically she was referring to this famous tweet that goes like “I like waffles” “oh so you hate pancakes?” “No that’s a completely different sentence!”
So she shouted “waffles” at someone for trying to hold her to her word about making social media less toxic by simply banning cyberbullies. Somehow, she fails to see the connection between banning a troll and making social media less toxic.
Then after that, she posted a picture of this waffle she had for breakfast to literally ragebait people concerned with how she’s pretty much admitted to protecting a cyberbully.
Adding to this, there was already controversy about the transphobe last year. He made an account, got banned, then got unbanned. People made a starter pack that blocked him and anyone who follows him automatically. Thats what made some Bluesky users try to make accounts here, as a prominent trans user pointed it out as a safe space.
This is just Bluesky doubling down on things they refused to do previously.

She just commented WAFFLES! and nothing else as a response
lol, I’m choosing to believe it was meant to be typed like *WAFFLES!* to indicate an verb rather than a noun
Yeah actually like literally pictures of waffles
Context: Some folks like pancakes, some folks like waffles, there’s no reason to hate each other about it
Both are bourgeois decadence
french toast is the true proletarian breakfast bread because it’s properly made with leftovers.
Oh, is that actually why? That’s even worse than I thought
