#SocialMedia is largely a toxic wasteland! A tool shows me when I'm blocked or added to a #list. So I seem to be a #MAGA supporter and #Zionist hardliner? Really, all good over there? People... Anyway, on to #Bluesky's #FuryRoad … Have a wonderful day! youtu.be/4KlSuGNt8e4

3) if Bluesky truly embraced #decentralized social media why wouldn't it help improve #activitypub and instead build their own?
