Sometimes, people on Facebook don't know the Fediverse exists.
The European Commission likes to tell them. 💜 😉@hpod16@eupolicy.social
Never thought I'd see eye to eye with the EU commission's social account, but this? They're doing good work here. Or should I say plural 'you' rather -

This might be a small distinction to some, but personally, I think it's a good thing that they verified the account, so that people know whether to report them for what the organization is doing versus for impersonation.
To me, a much bigger problem is that they are actually hosting that account. Why is that even necessary if Bluesky/Atmosphere is meant to be decentralized?
Either way, agree on the hard pass though.

Well, at least ICE's presence on BS gave us this piece of news: https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/20/ice-becomes-one-of-the-most-blocked-accounts-on-bluesky-after-its-verification/ -

Not sure if ICE is going to do anything with that list, but I'd rather not be on it.

@stefan @postpunkmusic @MissWarcraft blocks are public??? That's not good practice AT ALL!

@hpod16 Yep, that's how we know who the most blocked accounts are.

Even when you (go way the hell out of your way to) tell them, the response tends to be either "in one ear and out the other" or "but that doesn't show up in the tools I like to use". -

@stefan @hpod16 @postpunkmusic @MissWarcraft That is for me reason enough to not touch that network. I guess nearly no one using Bluesky is aware of this. And the consequences of it appear only, when it’s to late. There are things to be public and blocklists are not.

@realcaseyrollins @lucien,
Well, in my view, DMs would land in an inbox, and create a continuous back and forth between two people.
If I stopped answered to your DMs, you would notice next time you opened your inbox.
Private mentions happen in threads under posts. When I stop answering there, you probably wouldn't notice.
I phrase it like this, because as a girl on the internet... I CAN get creeps in my DMs. So maybe I like that things are a bit more... decentralised here. Makes sense?@hpod16 we have plan to improve DMs interface this year 👀

@MissWarcraft @stefan @hpod16 they didn't crack down on the hate, they still allow transphobic harassment, they still allow fascists and nazis, and the people running the company are transphobes. jay even made up new transphobic memes for her nazi friends
bluesky isn't a friend to the marginalized
@imbl @stefan @hpod16 They cracked down on Celebrating the execution of Charlie Kirk. They cracked down on the Rabid Antisemitism. They are trying to stop the spread of Hate by some groups. I personally am not Trans or gay or any LGBTQ I was on Bluesky the first few months when you needed an invite. Then the LGBTQW Came, I didn't care. But the Antisemitism I care,

@MissWarcraft self-reported numbers, they choose what they define as "active users". Also, those users are not equally distributed across the world. For example, in Austria the Twitter usage even in its heyday was tiny. This statistic I attached is from 2023, you can see pretty well how irrelevant Twitter/X always was.
@nitrml Facts are facts. Numbers don't lie

"Baitman, clickbait justice warrior" - I translated the Italian name. Well, this guy was complaining of the algorithm always putting that page in danger as he was inviting to fight clickbait and disinformation.
I suggested him to have another service in addition to Facebook and Twitter. The Fediverse. Well, his readers treated me as a spammer.
So I said, I'm not Jesus. I'm not the preacher who goes to sinners to give them an alternative. Let them go to hell and swim in the mud, if they want to. -

@mms ahah nice! Do you know where the "umarell" word comes from? It's from the local Bologna dialect, and it means "little man".
It's always funny to read local slang in international posts 🙂

@joel I have an entire collection here ans swap them on occasion ...
Keychron K8 Pro with Cherry MX purple (super heavy tactile)
Second Keychron K8 Pro (currently no switches)
GMMK Pro 2 with Holy Panda switches
Keychron Q3 with Voyager V2 switches
NuPhy Air75 v2 with Moss switchesI generally tend towards tactile to super tactile and don't optimize for acoustics as much. Typing feel is way more important to me.
