And this is why you don’t turn to Bluesky. If they’ll censor this, they’ll censor anything.
People wanted a new Twitter and just completely ignored Mastadon. 🙄
Well… They did get a new Twitter lol
Yeah, but joining an instance is so hard guys. How am I supposed to know which one to join? What if I join the wrong one? The human brain was never meant to know more than one domain name.
The whole Internet should just be one single website so I don’t have to think. But I will complain about how only one rich guy owns that website, but I’ll do it on that website since it’s the “public square”.
I want a decentralized democratic system but the only way to get there is to centralize power and give it to one entity!
/s
I think it’s better to explain instances as phone booths or conference rooms.
But they are just different entraces to the same “public square”: the fediverse
That’s where I’m not 100% sure. Either each instance maintains a copy of the public square, or there is no public square each piece of content is hosted on one instance and viewable from other instances
The bluesky conference room is muting participants in the conference call
Well yeah, they wanted a new twitter, not something different and potentially better.
I remember Mastodon gaining a lot during Elonification of twitter. Doesn’t seem like it’s all bad. I don’t want to be even more doom pilled.
Mastadon branding sucks ass.
You take that back or I’ll make a mean toot /s
Mastodon dodged a bullet though. It could’ve been them.
any mastodon instances off the top of your head that have as little or less censorship as Twitter? Because I can think of some that beat Twitter in certain areas but none that beat it in all
No because I don’t use it. I never liked the Twitter format. 🤷♂️
Does this include FEMA staff as well? My partner works for that agency and they’ve been bleeding staff for years now, can’t imagine getting dragged into this chaos not speeding that up.
No from what I saw it’s just focused on ice, cbp, and uscis. Plus it’s not really anything sensitive just names and other basic information.
Why others government employees are public, but ICE has some special treatment? Is it because they are really trump’s gestapo?
It’s one of the aspects a secret police needs to work
Yes, that is exactly why.
yes exactly, remembers renees killer they quickly put him in “witness protection” and hid them in another state to avoid doxxing. avoid potential prison, doxxing by family members, and from employers.
To shield them from prison for breaking the law
Weakshit, “Twitter of the Left” more like “Xitter of the Center-Right”
It’s a corpo, you know where they stand even if they haven’t fully played their hand.
I don’t know why people are surprised. Bluesky always billed itself as twitter before musk, and twitter before musk was full of liberals.
This isn’t “liberal” shit, this is right leaning centrist shit, I know you’ll argue “you just described liberal” but that’s just your biases speaking, these are the same centrists that were okay with Hitler coming to power in the 1930’s, same exact attitudes, same exact apathy.
Also to add to the “don’t be so smug” message, we see the same exact kind of apathy from those who claim themselves to be Far-Left, Progressive, Socialist, and Communist, just a bunch of shit heads who can’t get past their own self interests in order to unify against a fascist threat, or multiple fascist threats. They would rather sniff their own egotistical farts then raise one finger to help society change incrementally because it doesn’t yield results fast enough for their entitled asses.
That’s a lot of argumentative words for someone agreeing with me.
Anyone have a torrent link
It’s in ddosecrets
Everyone is supposed to know what that is?

Spank you.
Well, then it’s a good thing I have this.
It’s just like a virus, now I have it too.
Wow, I see hundreds of people with this virus right now! There’s probably more, too!
Oh no is that how virus’ work
Seeding, thanks.
All the more reason to spread it everywhere.

Ops it’s down. Probably best to just share the magnet link.

Bluesky was cool for like 3 days. Then they let JD Vance start posting there and immediately wiped out all their cred. Now its just pre-Elon Twitter, and that place already sucked ass before he bought it.
Bluesky never had a policy against letting fascists join. There’s been a fascist community there since day 1. If you only noticed when JD Vance joined, you weren’t paying attention.
Why would you want them to censor people? Demanding they censor people is what gives them permission to do bullshit like this where they censor posts and information.
The fact that so many leftists have been convinced that censorship is good is actually scary. If you are pro-censorship then you aren’t a leftist.
Unless Bluesky openly stated that they are a private community where only leftists are allowed then you shouldn’t be asking for censorship.
Freedom of speech is not an obligation for individual people, companies, universities, etc to provide a soap box and megaphone to fascists and bigots.
Fascists aren’t people and deplatforming works.
I am unsurprised. That’s why I joined the fediverse. Socialist internet is best internet.
Wiretap, define “Streisand effect”
“Our Community Guidelines protect people’s safety and privacy by prohibiting the unauthorized sharing of personal information and other content that could pose safety risks. Because the files include the email addresses and phone numbers of individuals, shared without their authorization, we are blocking links to the dataset.”
I understand where they’re coming from because they shouldn’t pick-and-choose who gets doxxed, the info in the leak hasn’t been vetted it could contain random innocents, if violence happens and someone was enabled by info on their platform they could be held liable etc. etc. Like I get it, I do, and fuck off for censoring on the side of the fash, but at the dame time I get the feeling they might not be absolutely 100% sincere in removing this from their platform since the block message leaves the URL on it’s own line as easily copied text…
Oh my God, they put the URL on the page. Sharing a screenshot of it is totally fair game, and still spreads the URL, while giving you the plausible deniability of only posting it to criticize Bluesky.
Still, fuck Bluesky for this. I told people that joining “Twitter cloned by cryptobros” was a bad idea, and they didn’t listen.
It would be stupid for them to keep it up. I don’t understand the point of this kind of thread. You don’t mix things up, and you don’t mix your illegal (though totally legitimate) activism with your day to day communication tools. It’s just a reckless thing to do and they’d be stupid to not draw the line.
Maybe this is their way of malicious compliance.
Website doesn’t even work for me just typing it in now. I wonder if DNS providers are blocking it or whether their infrastructure got taken down
Yesterday I was able to access it, then I wasn’t, then I was. Feels like it was overloaded.
Given the content in question, it could be anything from a DDOS to an old-fashioned hug of death to fascists peeing on the server rack. It was up earlier, at least. Might just spin up a VPN…
Seriously? Now it’s just corporate democrat shit. So much for counter culture.
It was founded by crypto grifters with backing from Jack Dorsey. It was a shithole the day it went online. It was never countercultural in the slightest.
Owned by a comfortable capitalist…
