Bluesky Corporation have just started hosting and verified the US agency ICE:
https://bsky.app/profile/icegov.bsky.social
In other words, Bluesky are collaborating with racist violent thugs and murderers.
(Bluesky Corporation were already hosting the White House (https://bsky.app/profile/whitehouse-47.bsky.social), the Department of War (https://bsky.app/profile/deptofwar.bsky.social), JD Vance (https://bsky.app/profile/jd-vance-1.bsky.social), Homeland Security (https://bsky.app/profile/homelandgov.bsky.social) etc. This is a long-term collaboration with Trump admin.)

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services HEADS UP! Ice just got verified and is hosted directly by Bluesky.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services viewing verifying an official government account as endorsement or "collaboration" is ridiculous. it's good for people to know what their government is saying, that doesn't mean what the government is saying is good
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services if you want to see what bots look like on BlueSky, just check out the followers of that account
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @IceCubesApp@mastodon.online is there a domain block option in the app?
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services
p.s. The US Department of Homeland Security has pinned a video where the CEO of Bluesky says Trump is welcome on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/homelandgov.bsky.social/post/3m3g7vwkokk2i
This is a genuine clip of the CEO, it's from an interview on Wired and the original source is https://www.wired.com/video/watch/the-big-interview-jay-graber
It is now very clear what Bluesky stands for, they are welcoming fascists and fascism, even when those fascists are kidnapping and murdering people.
(Thanks @bigbelgianbopper@mastodon-belgium.be for pointing this out)
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services "long term collaberation" is a bit dramatic IMO, they just signed up. I doubt there was much communication on the subject.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Mixed feelings here. This is more nuanced that Twitter. I left that because of Musk's hypocrisy more than his allowing junk on the platform, but I'm a free speech absolutist. I'll be watching my bsky account to see if I notice a change. Does moderation and tone bend in favor of any one side?
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services
I know its mean but i really love the feeling when I told everyone before something happens.
Usually its for years that i tell people and they're usually increasingly mean and arrogant. Sometimes they're even outright sadistic.
Thats why today, i dont have any empathy left for people who have shat on others for years for them asking them to do the right thing. Just reap what you've sown.
And here's another one: please stop shitting on socialists in the fedi. We are right, always.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services
b'sky is an alternative to twitter if you're a closet nazi...
@advaith@mastodon.social
"it's good for people to know what their government is saying".
They're masked thugs kidnapping and murdering people in the street, persecuting the relatives and publishing bigoted lies to try to justify it all. They're not even investigating the kidnappers and murderers.
The Trump regime is not giving out neutral info, they're publishing extremist propaganda and lies. Platforming these hateful lies is just helping the kidnappers, thugs and murderers.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services so they are competing with X and truth social now?
No usen bluesky y no se hagan cuentas, dicha plataforma estΓ‘ a favor del facista criminal de trump y de los nazis del ICE. Si tienen cuentas creadas en esa plataforma eliminen sus cuentas, y no hagan puente con mastodon y bluesky.

This morning, I deleted my Bluesky account. I don't want to waste my time on a channel that supports fascism.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services I keep asking people (paging @angrystaffer.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy) why they stay on there. This was evident from the start.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @bigbelgianbopper@mastodon-belgium.be Bluesky was never an option.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services
TFW it sucks to have predicted correctly β¦
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services the clip was pinned back in October and was when they got a big influx of government accounts. Theyβre popular to block.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @bigbelgianbopper@mastodon-belgium.be did I call it or did I call it lol
@lor@goingdark.social
One gets the feeling that Bluesky just wants to be a big player and they don't care how they do that. They're just another big tech corporation in other words.
All that "no more caesars" and "billionaire proof" rhetoric they used a while ago was apparently just bullshit. Their centralised structure means they could very easily be bought out by billionaires and every staff member would get rich if it happened, as they are paid in Bluesky shares.
