@acerbt @cubic I've had that issue before and its so god damn annoying!

@cubic Yeah that is so fucking weird like what the actual fuck?

@menelion Yup, absolutely crazy shit

@menelion I agree, its getting ridiculous!

@menelion @patricus @FediTips Exactly, like this whole sentiment from a lot of the big names in the Fediverse saying oh these people who are the CEO of this platform or this protocol promoted this person or that, its just ridiculous at this point, saying that just because certain people are doing stupid stuff we should abandon the platforms and/or protocols is only making the situation worse, we should be about people, not platforms and protocols, this needs to stop or the fediverse will continue to look like a bunch of randos who try to push specific ideologies on to its users. This is one of the reasons why the fediverse hasn't been taken seriously in the mainstream.

@patricus @FediTips Its not a risk, as, well, my last reply gives you a better solution.

@patricus @FediTips A better thing would be just to block specific users, like ice@bsky.brid.gy and so on.

@patricus @FediTips Not everyone, like I said, is a Nazi that uses brid.gy.

@patricus @FediTips Not necessarily, as not everyone over there will know what the fediverse is, and if they've built up a following or have a nich on there they aren't gonna wanna move just because some idiots are making stupid moves.

@patricus @FediTips That's not true. And just because the people who run Bluesky decided to make a dumb move, that doesn't mean that innocent people should get fucked over like that.

@patricus @FediTips But its not, ICE and Nazis are two completely different things. Yeah ICE has done fucked up things, but comparing them to the Nazi party is just wrong.

@patricus @FediTips But they probably don't understand the whole situation, so you're basically telling the innocent to go fuck themselves for not understanding the whole situation. And the people who are promoting these controversial people are not Nazis, Nazis are the people who were part of the Nazi party during the war back when Adolf Hitler was in power in Germany. That's what Nazis are, so you're throwing the word Nazi around without fully understanding it.

@patricus @FediTips You don't even know the meaning of the word nazi, so go and research it before throwing that word around.

@patricus @FediTips No, they agree with some idiots who wanna run the US into the shitter. The protocol itself isn't run by nazis, its just that Bluesky, the specific instance, bsky.social, is letting a bunch of idiots like ICE run their shit on there. People can block those specific people, but blocking an entire service that federates Atproto with the Fediverse is a bad idea, because there are good people on Atproto and you're basically saying fuck you to them because they use a different protocol.

@patricus @FediTips The platform isn't made by Nazis, its just the specific people are promoting controversial figures.

@FediTips @patricus Only problem with that is if there are people who aren't offiliated with US government bullshit that use Atproto platforms like Leaflet, but they wanna use BridgyFed to make their content show up for those on the fediverse, you'd be missing out because they might use brid.gy. This is the sort of problem when blocking entire instances based on things like being part of Atproto, just because the head of Bluesky is openly welcoming some fucked up shit like ICE that doesn't mean we should start cutting the entire Atproto circle off.
