What's wrong with bluesky? (sh.itjust.works)

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.

Try criticizing liberal forms of racism and see how well it goes for you.

Try watching sometime merely being Palestinian and see how it goes for them.

Try looking into who funds and runs the platform.

Seriously all the posters I see and follow are far left and extremely pro-palestinian and are quite quick to criticize liberals, on multiple topics. Maybe you just followed a bunch of the wrong people and decided that was everybody.

Pro-Palestinian or by people who are in Palestine? Because Bluesky has beeen censoring the latter.

I viewed the public trending section and listed some of the racism there in another comment.

I've seen plenty of posts by people asserting to be Palestinians.

And what do they say about the people getting banned for fundraising?

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Most of the Palestinian posts I see are fundraising posts. Seriously it seems like you're just out there looking for what you want to complain about. There's plenty of racism and bigotry on the fediverse if you go looking for it.

Bluesky was banning people en masse for doing that a couple weeks ago. I know some of the Palestinians that were banned.

A large portion of my TL on Bluesky is people fundraising for specific Palestinian families. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You see what you follow

That's good because last month they were banning people for doing that
