Baffling that so many people upvoted a comment that is, at best, a non-sequitur – at worst, snarling at the author for using a platform while being wrong about the platform used – simply because the comment is mad at the correct thing.
Meanwhile, the comment correcting the misinformation and accurately labeling the source of the post is sitting at middling 12 to 6.
It’s an official US institution. What were they supposed to do? Don’t verify it? Ban the account? Should they also ban other US official accounts? How about accounts belonging to other authoritarian countries, like Iran, Israel, China or Russia?
I understand this position, but it’s not the only one. And it’s really hard to draw a line between “good guys” and “bad guys”. That’s why many centralised platforms like Bluesky don’t try to be a safe spaces and allow everybody. You can block them personally if you want.
In Mastodon local servers play a higher role. But you cannot banish all fascists out of the platform. They create their own instance and nobody could do anything with it.
P. S. i don’t use both Bluesky and Masto—for me both are doomscrolling hell
Bluesky, homie.

They just haven’t hit their evil arc yet.
Blue sky just verified ICEs account
I didn’t say that Bluesky is good. I am just correcting the assumption that it was an Xitter post.
I’m almost exclusively on Mastodon.

Yeah…kinda?

A modest improvement
