    “Normally I’d agree, but slave catchers are government agents and since people get their news from newspapers these days, it makes sense that my local newspaper allow them to run segments about why black people don’t deserve freedom”

    ok liberal

      Thus why I mentioned that they must follow the ToS. If they actually did start to post discriminatory content or hate speech on Bluesky, then they should by all means become banned like everyone else would since that would be breaking ToS. Those “gotta catch em all” posts on Twitter is not going to be tolerated by Bluesky…at least I hope. If not, then I suppose you’re right, Mastodon is the only place that won’t platform fascist propaganda…at least not on the main instance

        ICE’s mere existence is discriminatory and providing them with any platform whatsoever, including a platform where they’re forced to feign some degree of legitimacy, furthers that fundamental purpose. You are defending the right of Nazis to do Nazi shit.

          So I assume you’d be for banning the White House account on Bluesky as well? They’re controlled by the fascists right now after all. The New York Times has promoted transphobia in the past and they have a verified Bluesky account. Should they be banned too?

            Hell yeah let’s ban the White House and mainstream media too, now you’re getting it! NYT and most mainstream media outlets are also guilty of pro-genocide propaganda.

              Sounds like one hell of an ecochamber they’d be creating if Bluesky was that strict about it. Guess we really are just segregating polticial ideologies into different platforms now so everyone can continue to become radicalized into opposite directions until there’s no choice but to fight a Civil War to defeat the fascists.

              Oh well, I prefer Mastodon myself. Personally, I only really use Bluesky for following content creators I like. Unfortunately, the chances of someone having a Mastodon account is rare right now (at least in my experience, but I’m still relatively new to the fediverse). I’d rather not be greeted with CSAM whilst doing the same for X anymore. We can at least agree that X should no longer be considered at all.
