       I thought it didn't matter because it's decentralized, right? 😉#Bluesky #Decentralized #Decentralization #ATProto #SocialWeb #SocialMedia

       @rolle Please allow for a little bit of nuance.... Yes yes yes bsky is centralized, yes we should all hate them. Blah blah. But the Mississippi law if different than the eg UK one, it puts particular burden on the corp. Bsky is a corp. Its not decentralized but it's not (yet anyways) enshittified. Yes it might, or even likely. But don't let they distract you from the harm at hand, yes, as it illustrates the exposure of a centralized corporation. There is actual subtlety here. Its not a goddamn football game. Bsky is, for the moment at least, an ally. We need to act as if they might remain one. Or not, this is a side show.... .... Federated instances in Mississippi are also exposed to liability. It is true there is some temporary or momentary safety in obscurity for smaller instances but THAT IS NOT A SOLUTION. And if MS state law enforcement singles one out they will be harmed, greatly.Pissing on bsky, here, in this case, is going along with the fascists divide and conquer strategy. DON'T. Make allies with people in the same dilemma. Now is now, if bsky turns into a Meta ok fine, condemn them then. Doing so in advance just seems deeply childish. In the middle of a fucking war with fascists. We all need to me more strategic here.

       @tomjennings @rolle Though I don’t believe that Bluesky deserves the benefit of the doubt (caving to authoritarian nations, not decentralizing, etc), you’re absolutely right that these governments and these laws need the whole community, even the bad actors, to take a stand against this false-flag “think of the children” but actually far more sinister authoritarian narrative.
