Bluesky Corporation have just started hosting and verifying the US agency ICE:
-
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 Yup, just going to continue sticking to Mastodon. I will probably stop bridging my posts to bsky since they insist on welcoming the people who support the systematic destruction of my community. Maybe we can at least reclaim some of the features that ATP implemented

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)
@FediTips @bigbelgianbopper while we are at it, block threads too.

We need to draw a line in the sand with bluesky bridges on the fediverse. We don't want them here at all. Time to pick a side.

@FediTips @bigbelgianbopper How do I make sure none of my stuff from fedi is bridged over to BS?
As far as I can tell, it now won't bridge Fedi stuff to BS without permission, but it will bridge web and blog posts without permission.
If your stuff from Fedi is showing up on BS please let me know.
I don't trust brid.gy as they have this weird mixture of opt in and opt out.

https://bsky.app/profile/icegov.bsky.social
In other words, Bluesky are collaborating with racist violent thugs and murderers.
(Bluesky Corporation were already hosting the White House (https://bsky.app/profile/whitehouse-47.bsky.social), the Department of War (https://bsky.app/profile/deptofwar.bsky.social), JD Vance (https://bsky.app/profile/jd-vance-1.bsky.social), Homeland Security (https://bsky.app/profile/homelandgov.bsky.social) etc. This is a long-term collaboration with Trump admin.)
Yikes!

@FediTips viewing verifying an official government account as endorsement or "collaboration" is ridiculous. it's good for people to know what their government is saying, that doesn't mean what the government is saying is good
Get the fuck out of here with this shit. They are literally promoting violence against marginalized people. It’s not EVER “good” to allow anyone a safe place to spew hatred that promotes violence.
A difference of opinions is okay. This is not that. They are murdering people and saying it’s okay.
If you give them a platform you are complicit. You are collaborating. You are party to their propaganda. Period. There is no gray area here.

@FediTips so they are competing with X and truth social now?

"it's good for people to know what their government is saying".
They're masked thugs kidnapping and murdering people in the street, persecuting the relatives and publishing bigoted lies to try to justify it all. They're not even investigating the kidnappers and murderers.
The Trump regime is not giving out neutral info, they're publishing extremist propaganda and lies. Platforming these hateful lies is just helping the kidnappers, thugs and murderers.

@FediTips so they are competing with X and truth social now?
One gets the feeling that Bluesky just wants to be a big player and they don't care how they do that. They're just another big tech corporation in other words.
All that "no more caesars" and "billionaire proof" rhetoric they used a while ago was apparently just bullshit. Their centralised structure means they could very easily be bought out by billionaires and every staff member would get rich if it happened, as they are paid in Bluesky shares.

@FediTips @undefined_variable I've been using it for a good while now, and I haven't found reason to distrust it... yet, at least. In my experience, Bridgy will *only* bridge your posts and replies if you've specifically opted into using the service by following @ bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy. If you HAVE opted in, you can stop it by blocking that same account - or if you use Bluesky, Mastodon, or Pixelfed, you can log into the bridging interface for that account at https://fed.brid.gy/login to disable bridging that way. Also if you are opted in, it will *only* bridge posts that are marked as "Public" - if the privacy level is set to anything else, it ignores the post since it can't match that privacy level on Bluesky.
They have extensive documentation posted at https://fed.brid.gy/docs, and since it's an open source project, you can view their code at https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed.
