Bluesky Corporation have just started hosting and verified the US agency ICE:

bsky.app/profile/icegov.bsky.s…

In other words, Bluesky are collaborating with racist violent thugs and murderers.

(Bluesky Corporation were already hosting the White House (bsky.app/profile/whitehouse-47…), the Department of War (bsky.app/profile/deptofwar.bsk…), JD Vance (bsky.app/profile/jd-vance-1.bs…), Homeland Security (bsky.app/profile/homelandgov.b…) etc. This is a long-term collaboration with Trump admin.)

Wow. Bluesky has just welcomed and verified ICE.

For anyone still thinking Bsky is a real alternative to Twitter: No, it's not.

Mastodon is. Bsky is just X at its infancy.

I can't remember who the first domino was, but it was certainly someone pro fash/trump, and trust and safety (the head of whom i'd already lost hope/respect for due to their behaviour on the platform), just shrugged and said "Hey, it'll make us bigger, i see that as a win!" (paraphrased), but that's when i burned my bluesky presence. it's never too late to walk away from a platform, especially pro-fash ones.

Bluesky don't seem to care about little people, they just want to make themselves big people.

I gave Bluesky so many chances, I was hopeful communities like Blacksky would flourish and push decentralization, but damn, it continually feels like a leftist honeypot there, just the successor of Twitter. Stuff like this, I worry Fedi is next for enshittifcation if servers like mastodon.social keep growing unchecked.

Not that surprising, sadly. Bsky was always going to go this way. As a centralized for-profit platform, they really had little choice. Bsky was never more than "Xitter with fewer Nazis" anyway.

they had some bigot on team, and kept silence about it.

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

bsky.app/profile/icegov.bsky.s…

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

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

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?

If you go to @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy and click ... and then "Block domain" that should block all bridged accounts from your feeds.

If you have trouble going to the account I mentioned, try going to mastodon.social/@bsky.brid.gy@… when you're logged into your server's website.

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.

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?

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

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"

Dems run to the Bluesky block button as Vance trolls them on their own virtual turf for solid week

Vice President JD Vance joined liberal-dominated Bluesky one week ago and has repeatedly trolled Democrats on their preferred social media platform.

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: bsky.app/profile/homelandgov.b…

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

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)

No usen bluesky y no se hagan cuentas, dicha plataforma está a favor del facista criminal de trump y de los nazis del ICE. Si tienen cuentas creadas en esa plataforma eliminen sus cuentas, y no hagan puente con mastodon y bluesky.

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.

@gunchleoc @MrGR

Truth Social stole code from Mastodon and pretended they had written it. Mastodon gGmbH had to send them a legal threat to get them to admit it was stolen code:

blog.joinmastodon.org/2021/10/…

Truth Social has no connections to any other server, I wouldn't personally call them part of the Fediverse as they don't Federate. And as you say, they'd get blocked if they tried.

Trump's new social media platform found using Mastodon code

From media reports and individual findings that various people have presented to us, it seems that the new social media platform owned by the former president of the United States, Donald J.

@MrGR Trump ist doch längst im Fediverse - truth.social läuft auf Mastodon. Sie föderieren aber nicht, da sie eh schon prophylaktisch nen fetten Fediblock in die Fresse bekommen hatten. Es gäbe aber schon genug Naziserver, mit denen sie föderieren könnten, wenn sie wollten.

"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.

@undefined_variable

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.

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 fed.brid.gy/login to disable bridging that way. Also while 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 fed.brid.gy/docs, and since it's an open source project, you can view their code at github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed.
