I just made an account on there and was getting ready to settle in. We can’t have anything nice…. I guess I’ll just stick to the fediverse.

I am still learning what the fediverse even is truthfully. I thought Bluesky was part of the fediverse. Man.

The site/system made by the guy who enabled Trump and Neo-Nazis to be platformed is bowing down to authoritarians? I'm shocked, shocked to find out that the rich person obeys the other rich people!

I don't get why they listened to the Turkish government. There not (to my understanding) registered there or have any kind of assests there.

let's hope they stop at that and don't give out their info like yahoo did before for china and other oppressive governments
