@nazokiyoubinbou @Viss Exactly

@Nonya_Bidniss the boat left and they werent on the boat :D

[ridge@tilde.zone]

@Viss Blocked that account day one and somehow they keep disappointing me.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@ridge and here i was holding out hope that they would see the light - too many nazis in the cryptobro investor crowd they got, i suppose. its nuts to me that their solve for handling that at the moderation level is "to label them" and nothing more

[ridge@tilde.zone]

@Viss I know right? I was hoping for mostly the same thing.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@ridge there are some folks that left masto to go there, and it kinda makes me sad - its bananas they'd stay at bsky at this point, so im curious if or when they'll return

[phillip@social.lol]

@Viss it’s almost like Bluesky is just Twitter but slightly different types of bad 🙃

[ridge@tilde.zone]

@Viss Yeah seeing very technically oriented people (leftists no less) give up ActivityPub for BlueSky/ATP is just bonkers to me.

I know a lot of less-technical people go there because it's much easier and a lot of their favourite artists only post there, so that part I understand.
At least that's what I've observed with friends who use this style of social media. Even if the bridge exists, not everyone has it enabled and it's too much effort for them.

@Viss @Popehat@mastodon.social @Popehat@counter.social @mmasnick blocking is much more effective there. ICE gonna find they’ll be shouting into a full piss bucket.

[nonya_bidniss@infosec.exchange]

@Viss There's also @ap.brid.gy on bsky (it's @fed.brid.gy on Mastodon) also for those who are also on Bsky there are block lists that include all federal govt accounts -- one of those is the MAGA2 block list but there are others, again that's for bsky users if any dual users like me stumble upon this

[viss@mastodon.social]

@ridge you can see in real time who "prefers the audience". folks left here to go to bluesky entirely for the numbers. they want their audience and they can get a bigger one there, so they left

[zenheathen@beige.party]

@phillip If only we had known that early on (many of us absolutely knew that early on) @Viss

[kerravonsen@mastodon.au]

@Viss Unfortunately, I have friends on bluesky whom I want to actually interact with, so no.

[lightfighter@infosec.exchange]

@Viss @Popehat@mastodon.social @Popehat@counter.social @mmasnick Something, something, Nazi bar, something...

[viss@mastodon.social]

@Lightfighter @Popehat @Popehat@counter.social @mmasnick i am very curious to see who decides to stay vs go now that bsky has checkmarked ice and is giving the nazis a platform

[pamelabarroway@mstdn.social]

@Viss I had to go back and check, but I blocked that long ago, thank goodness.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@PamelaBarroway i'm fairly certain that you have to follow the account so it can follow you back, and then messages can flow, but its best to nuke it just to be safe at this point

[pamelabarroway@mstdn.social]

@Viss You are 💯 right, you do have to follow the account! But I wasn't taking any chances then, and I sure as heck am not now!

[dannotdaniel@hellions.cloud]

@Viss @ridge it's sad indeed

fedi or bust baby

[kentenmakto@mastodon.ie]

@Viss @PamelaBarroway It's the only way to be sure.

[lonelystone@mastodon.world]

@Viss
You are conflating Bluesky giving ICE a checkmate, with ICE being able to see your posts.

If the argument is you don't want to use a platform which approves of ICE then sure, don't bridge anymore.

The feds are on every platform. Your posts are public. You're not hiding from ICE by not bridging to Bluesky.
