This account is an alt of @FerdiZ [that's (at)ferdiz(at)mastodon(dot)cloud]. I'm Indonesian. I signed up here at mastodon.social one day because registration was opened for a while.

Is it just me or is Bluesky down?

Edit: Yup confirmed Bluesky is down right now.

And because it prompted me to ask around I just recently found out that Bluesky had been blocked in Indonesia since December 2025, and I hadn't noticed at all since I've been using Cloudflare Warp for God-knows how many years now...

Para "pejuang kemerdekaan" Papua ngapain sih berulang membunuh pilot sipil kemanusiaan di Papua? Apa karena gak bisa lagi dapat duit dari menyandera?

Proto-thought:

Bigotry should not be outlawed. Specifically feelings of bigotry. Because all humans will always be bigoted to some level or another.

Let people feel bigoted, it cannot be prevented. What can be managed though, are harmful actions motivated by bigotry.

As usual with proto-thought, this needs deeper analysis and more thought.
