RE: https://kolektiva.social/@alissaazar/115781985482592177

It's almost as if Bluesky was a Silicon Valley VC-funded startup, with Blockchain Capital among its biggest investors, and thus has to make "difficult decisions" to get that hockey-stick growth and chase the ROI.

And... fascism is on the up-and-up in the land of opportunity.

Reminder that ATproto "ecosystem" is still not meaningfully decentralized – Blacksky users who get blocked on Bluesky learn they can't access their own posts even on Blacksky:

@rysiek they don't come to masto because there's right moderation. And they prefer fasciste modération and sensur for complaining.

@Remittancegirl for a lot of people that is not as simple as it might seem to you or me. Some people already mentioned some of the reasons in this thread I believe.

@rysiek Jesus Christ already. How many times do people need to be told something is bad before they act accordingly?

@dnkboston @rysiek

As soon as I read "I'm back after a 3-day suspension" I screamed "but why???" why go back?

It's just "Thank you sir may I have another."

@rysiek RIGHT! How do I keep forgetting that--plus all of the glowing PR in the prestige media--in the face of the capricious suspensions, banning, lack of moderation, and harassment by leadership? To say nothing of the sanctioned bigotry? Silly me--alleged "reach" is everything.

Excuse me while I go read a Substack.

@dnkboston oh yeah, the media* often just cannot wrap their head around the idea that things can be done in any other way than VC-funded hockey-stick ROI scheme.

I do get salty about that sometimes:
