      Yeah, but joining an instance is so hard guys. How am I supposed to know which one to join? What if I join the wrong one? The human brain was never meant to know more than one domain name.

      The whole Internet should just be one single website so I don’t have to think. But I will complain about how only one rich guy owns that website, but I’ll do it on that website since it’s the “public square”.

        I think it’s better to explain instances as phone booths or conference rooms.

          That’s an awful comparison.

          It’s like email.

          You can have a gmail.com address, and send and receive emails between yahoo.com and hotmail.com addresses without issues. Nobody really cares which provider you chose, and if you really want to, you can register your own domain and host email yourself.

          If this doesn’t land, then the person you’re talking to probably has never used a computer.

            and just like with email if you choose the wrong domain you can’t send messages to people on mainstream domains without it being sent to spam.

            That’s where I’m not 100% sure. Either each instance maintains a copy of the public square, or there is no public square each piece of content is hosted on one instance and viewable from other instances

        This isn’t “liberal” shit, this is right leaning centrist shit, I know you’ll argue “you just described liberal” but that’s just your biases speaking, these are the same centrists that were okay with Hitler coming to power in the 1930’s, same exact attitudes, same exact apathy.

        Also to add to the “don’t be so smug” message, we see the same exact kind of apathy from those who claim themselves to be Far-Left, Progressive, Socialist, and Communist, just a bunch of shit heads who can’t get past their own self interests in order to unify against a fascist threat, or multiple fascist threats. They would rather sniff their own egotistical farts then raise one finger to help society change incrementally because it doesn’t yield results fast enough for their entitled asses.

      Why would you want them to censor people? Demanding they censor people is what gives them permission to do bullshit like this where they censor posts and information.

      The fact that so many leftists have been convinced that censorship is good is actually scary. If you are pro-censorship then you aren’t a leftist.

      Unless Bluesky openly stated that they are a private community where only leftists are allowed then you shouldn’t be asking for censorship.

    Does this include FEMA staff as well? My partner works for that agency and they’ve been bleeding staff for years now, can’t imagine getting dragged into this chaos not speeding that up.

      No from what I saw it’s just focused on ice, cbp, and uscis. Plus it’s not really anything sensitive just names and other basic information.
