yeah but mastodon has thousands of owners and bluesky has one so its different see

lol yeah ok buddy

they literally do? what do you think state lines even do?

oh wow… two

Glad we agree that BlueSky is a centralized service.

Its cute how they pretend at protocol is being used by anyone not named bluesky

You need to explain why a mastodon instance in a state without those laws care what a different state does

ActivityPub instances can do whatever the hell they want, the point is that no CEO decided who has access to all of it.

I agree 100%, BlueSky is not decentralized.

incorrect actually

But you are evading. The technicalities you speak of are irrelevant to the topic of censorship. The fact that parts of BlueSky are technically open source, or that other BlueSky apps exist is irrelevant to the people who are functionally denied access to speak due to the decision of a single company. There is no other “instance” we can go sign up on like with ActivityPub apps.

(Here is the part where you say I could technically get all my friends to self-host their own PDS as though it is easy and fun).

Do you live in Mississippi? Because there’s no reason to capitulate otherwise unless you plan on going there on vacation (no reason to do that either).

No, “other sites” should disobey unjust laws

You’re right good job lol you managed to evade again.

A CEO is censoring a geographical region. That is just not something that can happen on a decentralized platform.

That’s just a frontend. It still requires a bsky.app account.

I am there and it’s not available.

More evasion. “Client” is Bluesky’s techno jargon for “app”. You still need a BlueSky account to use a client. And you can’t get one of those in Mississippi.

Maybe it would help your argument that the thing BlueSky themselves says is happening is not really happening if you could produce a BlueSky post that is available in posted from Mississippi?

I think the concern is the tracking of offline social networks

That appears to be you avoiding explaining how a CEO of a for-profit company could censor an entire “decentralized” “open source” app for millions of people.

But that was already in the process of changing
