So, again today we get another crystal clear example of how #Bluesky is not decentralized. The company just blocked all users from an entire US state and those users are completely cut off. No other way to interact with the Bluesky network.
BECAUSE BLUESKY IS A CENTRALIZED PLATFORM.
Folks on Bluesky. There is a decentralized alternative. Just create an account on any decentralized Mastodon server. You will love it here. Promise.

In a blog post published on Friday, the company explains that, as a small team, it doesn't have the resources to make the substantial technical changes this type of law would require, and it raised concerns about the law's broad scope and privacy implications.
The age check thing is about to happen in Australia, soooooo......
@kaffando @mastodonmigration @santiago Mississippi's law's apparently particularly onerous, requiring keeping and storing/securing detailed records on *all* their users, permission slips, and excessive penalties for any slipups.
Leaving the centralization issue aside, "lol screw that" is a reasonable response.
