Wow. Bluesky has just welcomed and verified ICE.

For anyone still thinking Bsky is a real alternative to Twitter: No, it's not.

Mastodon is. Bsky is just X at its infancy.

@Grutjes Verifying an account is not the same as endorsing...

@kwarg

Why don“t you fuck off kwarg

@Grutjes @kwarg
Hang on a sec. Everyone here is against ICE - for obvious and serious reasons. And Bsky have chosen to not block ICE. But Grutjes, the person you responded to just now is a couple of steps removed from serious wrongdoing here. They didn't denounce bsky for failing to denounce ICE. I think it's fair that you disagree with them about that, but I don't think it deserves such blunt hostility.

@karadoc

Sorry, it's this centrist attitude that got us here, and I have no patience for it.

@Grutjes Yeah I can see that. I understand where you are coming from. But this isn't Twitter. We generally talk in good faith. When you attack neutral positions with as much vigor as you attack hostile positions - it ... well, it's bad for a variety of reasons that I think you probably don't need me to explain.
@karadoc @Grutjes "Neutrality" in fascism means supporting fascism...

@Gryficowa No one here is being neutral to towards fascism. All that happened was that someone said "verifying an account is not the same as endorsing", and was attacked for it. It's neutrality towards a 3rd party's neutrality. Right?

And now, all I'm doing here is trying to advocate for kindness, and you - you personally are saying that I'm a problem on the fediverse because of it. Reflect on that.
