Bluesky are openly welcoming, verifying and hosting accounts of prominent far right politicians. Trump's VP Vance is now on Bluesky:

"We welcome the Vice President to the conversation on Bluesky" (Bluesky in their email to Fox News)

More 🚩: Bluesky is centralised, run by a for-profit corporation, its CEO has blockchain background, it is partly owned by VCs & Blockchain Capital.

Bluesky are going down exactly the same Nazi Bar path as Twitter.

@FediTips @mastodonmigration Not surprising that they open him with open arms "to the conversation".
As if you can converse in a meaningful way with fascists. 🙄

I wonder what happens should he or anyone from that sickening regime joins a fediverse instance.

@McWabbit

If Vance joined a Fediverse instance, and the instance admin didn't kick him off, other instances would defederate that instance.

But this isn't possible on Bluesky because it's centralised.

Hello feditips.

I am a moderator at this instance you see me posting from, app.wafrn.net.

We have optional (read: opt-in) bluesky integration and we have just banned JD Vance

Yes, we can do that. Because yes, Bluesky is just a bit more open than you make it out to be :)

And no, this is not done with Snarfed's bridgy, this is native in our instance software that we're building.
