Seriously i have zero idea what is going on with bluesky. I never used it. Why are people saying it’s centralised? I also heard that a lot of people are joining it.

    Let me see the first ten posts in my feed. (I haven’t opened today so let’s see…)

    God saying why is radical left an insult?

    Space view with a good picture of Pluto.

    God talking about centrists and leftists

    More space pictures

    Someone talking about a free game on stream

    Someone talking about how rpg fans love to insist pokemon isn’t rpg

    Horror video game protagonist coming across ammo, yeah that isn’t ominous.

    Some new video games called Anton

    We asked A.I. to generate a peak Seahawks game, these were the results.

    And

      Are you familiar with what liberal racism looks like?

      Anonymously browsing the feed I rapidly came upon these posts:

      Bluesky is known in left circles for censoring Palestinian accounts and allowing liberal Zionism.

        You’re I guess looking at a feed of everything there is with no anchor to the correct side of politics? Try that with ActivityPub and just ingest the entire ecosystem with no home instance or blocklist and you’ll get lots of this.

        But I think you are right that the Bluesky PDS will not refuse to host you for saying things along the lines of “The US should continue to sell all kinds of weapons to Israel”, whereas a lot of Mastodon instances might be expected to kick you off for expressing this stubbornly common opinion.

        But I’m not sure it’s quite fair to expect a public service to share exactly the correct Overton window that one has oneself. That sort of enforcement on Bluesky is meant to be at the level of the custom moderation service/labeler, not at the data storage layer, since users more or less are meant to control that themselves.

        And if you pick a good labeler it will enforce that only the correct people are allowed in your view.
