Wow. Bluesky has just welcomed and verified ICE.For anyone still thinking Bsky is a real alternative to Twitter: No, it's not. Mastodon is. Bsky is just X at its infancy.#ICE #Bsky #Bluesky #fascism

@Grutjes I believe in a fedi for everyone so people should be able to follow the Trump administration here. like horrible people are allowed to have websites on the net and we can visit them in any browser.the way it would work here is the administration would run their own server and people could federate or not.the way bluesky does it, they are paying for infrastructure to allow them to reach people. and maybe running algos that recommend them. ugh.

BlueSky was always doomed because they are centralized and therefore forced to essentially pick a side in every conflict.Twitter is also centralized, but they're (now) centralized around a strong leader that a lot of people like. He still gets himself in occasional hot water with public opinion ("fuck yourself in the face" drama explosion). His leadership is not sustainable though, once he's gone there's no committee that can hope to get the same popular deference that he has.BlueSky's situation is worse because there's no leader who people might look up to as there is in Twitter, Gab, or TruthSocial. They have a committee that has to make decisions and then when they make a decision, ~half of their base is going to hate them for it. And this will just repeat until all of their users have left.Every twitter-like centralized platform is fragile in this sense, and the fediverse is anti-fragile because it thrives on diversity of opinion.

Thanks for the many boosts & comments!It's important people know that Bsky app collaborates with ICE & other fascists by allowing them accounts, even after they verified them.(Verification is not a problem. Not deleting their account afterwards is!)🧵

Now some people take the opportunity to tell everyone they are not surprised.I understand, neither am I. You probably warned for this to happen, just like me.But I'm not sure how telling everyone you're not surprised is helping anyone.Maybe the important thing is not whether it's surprising, but how bad it is.🧵

If someone says it's totally OK if ICE is on Bsky, please don't hold back.People who say that ICE should be able to have an account on social media (or anywhere) as long as they obey the TOS, are the same people who think it was totally OK for nazi's to commit the Holocaust, as nazi law didn't say it was illegal to murder Jews.It's centrists like that who brought us to this point, and I deeply hate them for it.🧵

But if someone expresses shock that Bsky allows ICE in... I think that's actually a GOOD thing.At least it shows they care. Hopefully they'll conclude they're better off organizing themselves at decentral, non commercial social media like the Fediverse. Organize to resist fascism & surveillance capitalism at the same time.However, telling them you're NOT surprised, maybe even telling them how smart you are compared to them, isn't going to win more people over, is it?We need each other.

@Grutjes agreed on the first post of this two-part thread and also the second. It is not okay for ICE to be on Bsky, but it is for those who saw it coming not very surprising, but then again if someone's shocked by it happening then that's a good sign that at least they're realising now and "lol I knew that'd happen" is not a great way to respondWe can't all have always known all there is to know about everything

@badrihippo @Grutjes Yeah, specially as it's sort of a "of all the things, it was this one I was right about"
