Seriously i have zero idea what is going on with bluesky. I never used it. Why are people saying it’s centralised? I also heard that a lot of people are joining it.

Bluesky is a platform by and for the most racist liberals.

You’ve clearly not been on the platform for any appreciable length of time, if at all.

Try criticizing liberal forms of racism and see how well it goes for you.

Try watching sometime merely being Palestinian and see how it goes for them.

Try looking into who funds and runs the platform.

Seriously all the posters I see and follow are far left and extremely pro-palestinian and are quite quick to criticize liberals, on multiple topics. Maybe you just followed a bunch of the wrong people and decided that was everybody.

A large portion of my TL on Bluesky is people fundraising for specific Palestinian families. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You see what you follow

Let me see the first ten posts in my feed. (I haven’t opened today so let’s see…)

God saying why is radical left an insult?

Space view with a good picture of Pluto.

God talking about centrists and leftists

More space pictures

Someone talking about a free game on stream

Someone talking about how rpg fans love to insist pokemon isn’t rpg

Horror video game protagonist coming across ammo, yeah that isn’t ominous.

Some new video games called Anton

We asked A.I. to generate a peak Seahawks game, these were the results.

And

A picture of the helix nebula.

Yup lots of racism and traits.

Are you familiar with what liberal racism looks like?

Anonymously browsing the feed I rapidly came upon these posts:

Bluesky is known in left circles for censoring Palestinian accounts and allowing liberal Zionism.

You’re I guess looking at a feed of everything there is with no anchor to the correct side of politics? Try that with ActivityPub and just ingest the entire ecosystem with no home instance or blocklist and you’ll get lots of this.

But I think you are right that the Bluesky PDS will not refuse to host you for saying things along the lines of “The US should continue to sell all kinds of weapons to Israel”, whereas a lot of Mastodon instances might be expected to kick you off for expressing this stubbornly common opinion.

But I’m not sure it’s quite fair to expect a public service to share exactly the correct Overton window that one has oneself. That sort of enforcement on Bluesky is meant to be at the level of the custom moderation service/labeler, not at the data storage layer, since users more or less are meant to control that themselves.

And if you pick a good labeler it will enforce that only the correct people are allowed in your view.

Somewhat off topic what you’re discussing but I’ve been checking the bsky feed anonymously every day or two and a lot of those recent space pictures are AI. Didn’t see those a week ago, seems to be something new.

Tankie has no definition to liberals so they can’t answer this, it is whatever they feel at the time.
