Bluesky has just started officially hosting and verifying dozens of accounts from Trump's regime including the Whitehouse, Homeland Security / ICE, the Department of War etc (https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/115393404732174116).
All of these accounts are spreading bigotry, hatred and dangerous lies about vulnerable groups.
It is NOT enough to just "block and forget", here's why: https://social.chinwag.org/@FediThing/112581263140051643
This is a 1930s moment, and #Bluesky is choosing to host vile hatred. It is going down the same path as Twitter/X.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Who could have expected that Jack #Dorsey would repeat his own #twitter mistakes again with #bluesky.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services This affects all ATProtocol servers though, not just bsky.social. I'm sure there's a better solution than blocking a few hundred innocent servers just to get one bad one.
p.s. You can stop Bluesky having any connections or interactions with your server by asking your server admin to defederate bsky.brid.gy
If you are a server admin and want help with how to defederate, there's a guide at https://fedi.tips/how-to-defederate-fediblock-a-server-on-mastodon

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services I have seen a couple of these accounts, and blocked them.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Iโm outโฆ
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Glad I never got around to making an account there.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Part-founded by a known sociopath (Dorsey). Taken over when said sociopath decided he wanted to support something even more sociopathic (nostr) by cryptobros.
What a surprise that it has gone down the fascist path.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Not to defend bsky's cryptofash leadership, screw them, but I'd say give it 48hrs and those accounts will be talking to nobody but themselves.

To quote CNN's Bill Maher on his latest editiorial on algorithm-based sites (don't forget, Bluesky is one of them):
"Ironically...the Bluesky Crowd hates me for calling them out on...their voluminous [BS]. They also will sometimes just print my critique of the left, because they want people to think I'm a conservative. You are f------ liars too."

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services This is an incredibly stupid thing to do on an instance of any serious scale. The entire purpose of the bridge is to enable (opt-in!) interoperability, and there are real people on the other side. Blocking an instance (or in this case bridge server) blindly is an incredibly bad idea because it breaks real connections that matter.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Isnโt defederation just โblock and forgetโ but on behalf of everyone on a server? Isnโt at least part of the point of Mastodon and other Fedi services that individuals get choice in what they want to see and interact with? Iโm not saying that Bluesky has made good choices here, but what impact will this make other than stopping people interacting with ordinary Bluesky users via gateways? Or are you saying that everyone on Bluesky supports the current US regime (which is probably fair enough to say about Truth Social for example) and it is proactive protection of a server community from harassment? Iโm genuinely curious as to why youโre promoting the nuclear optionโฆ
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services What a dumb thing to do.
