I miss some of the people for sure, but the app, ugh, hot trash
@FediTips

@arthfach @almonds @FediTips This. And even if the big instances enshittify there’s nothing to stop people hopping on smaller servers run by others which block the big instances, getting right back to business within the day. It’s rarely much different from where you’ve come from, it’s just hopping between modular apartments.

@FediTips

Does this mean that I need to delete all of my anti-white slurs from that platform?

Most likely Jay, but perhaps someone whose first name began with an A.

@PhillipPlays @FediTips

Not so. Try criticising Charlie Kirk.

@FediTips Bluesky Corporation vient de commencer à héberger et à vérifier l'agence américaine ICE :

https://bsky.app/profile/icegov.bsky.social

En d'autres termes, Bluesky collabore avec des voyous et des assassins racistes et violents.

(Bluesky Corporation hébergeait déjà la Maison Blanche (https://bsky.app/profile/whitehouse-47.bsky.social), le ministère de la guerre (https://bsky.app/profile/deptofwar.bsky.social), JD Vance (https://bsky.app/profile/jd-vance-1.bsky.social), la Sécurité intérieure (https://bsky.app/profile/homelandgov.bsky.social) etc. Il s'agit d'une collaboration à long terme avec l'administration Trump).

@FediTips

Quite appropriately, this is the interstitial they show me when visiting the ICE profile. Would you like me to share fine grained location data as well?

[vonskinnback@mastodon.social]

@FediTips how do I block the entirety of blue sky from my account?

[bigbelgianbopper@mastodon-belgium.be]

@sashin @FediTips in a video on the homeland account there is no feedback from Jay that she does not agree with she being used to say that #Trump is welcome.

@FediTips
b'sky is an alternative to twitter if you're a closet nazi...

[haui@mastodon.giftedmc.com]

@FediTips
I know its mean but i really love the feeling when I told everyone before something happens.

Usually its for years that i tell people and they're usually increasingly mean and arrogant. Sometimes they're even outright sadistic.

Thats why today, i dont have any empathy left for people who have shat on others for years for them asking them to do the right thing. Just reap what you've sown.

And here's another one: please stop shitting on socialists in the fedi. We are right, always.

Maybe admins should consider blocking the BS bridge for user safety?

[troi@techhub.social]

@FediTips Mixed feelings here. This is more nuanced that Twitter. I left that because of Musk's hypocrisy more than his allowing junk on the platform, but I'm a free speech absolutist. I'll be watching my bsky account to see if I notice a change. Does moderation and tone bend in favor of any one side?

[mrgr@mastodon.social]

@FediTips Anders formuliert, offizielle US Behörden wie ICE würden im Fediverse gesperrt? Oder wie ist dies zu verstehen? Wie sieht es zum Beispiel mt dem FBI aus? Und dürfte Trump, der Präsident der USA, hier nicht online sein? Arbeitet eine Platform mit einer Organisation oder Person zusammen, deren Konto sie in ihrem Netzwerk hostet?

[prism@infosec.exchange]

@FediTips "long term collaberation" is a bit dramatic IMO, they just signed up. I doubt there was much communication on the subject.

[ikuturso@mastodon.social]

@avatastic the current talking point you hear constantly is that Bluesky may be centralized but ATProto isn't As if that invalidates the point...

@FediTips

[feditips@social.growyourown.services]

@prism

They didn't just sign up, Bluesky is hosting them and verified them.

Bluesky does ban accounts, they could have banned ICE, and/or refused to host ICE, and/or refused to verify them. Instead they rolled out the red carpet.

They also emailed Fox News to tell them JD Vance was welcome on the platform:

"We welcome the Vice President to the conversation on Bluesky," the company told Fox News Digital in an email response"

[feditips@social.growyourown.services]

p.s. The US Department of Homeland Security has pinned a video where the CEO of Bluesky says Trump is welcome on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/homelandgov.bsky.social/post/3m3g7vwkokk2i

This is a genuine clip of the CEO, it's from an interview on Wired and the original source is https://www.wired.com/video/watch/the-big-interview-jay-graber

It is now very clear what Bluesky stands for, they are welcoming fascists and fascism, even when those fascists are kidnapping and murdering people.

(Thanks @bigbelgianbopper for pointing this out)
