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.

Listen, some are saying it is not Bluesky's fault. They are just victims of a terrible age verification law which left them no choice.

OK. Yes, they are a small company and if they are prosecuted for violating this crazy law it could be ruinous.

BUT THAT IS ENTIRELY THE POINT.

It doesn't matter whether or not they are forced into this. This is not a good guy bad guy thing. It is a reality. It is not defensible because it is a vulnerable US corporate platform and it is not decentralized.

@mastodonmigration It's also bullshit, as they did introduce age verification in the UK.
