I blocked the entire bsky.brid.gy instance as well as blocking the bridge bot.

@_elena and what about subscribing to block lists? There are block lists for fascism ... as dangerous for US people?

@_elena@mastodon.social this just screams psyop to me (ICE going on bluesky)

@_elena this is pretty stupid lol

@nazokiyoubinbou Just a note for the Fediverse = paradise adepts: I'm regularly blocking and if possible reporting Maga propaganda even on Mastodon. You can get evil people *everywhere*.
The question is how much you can protect yourself or if such attempts are defederated or suspended.
Here, the Fediverse is better because human moderators. But most people don't know that difference. And would Mastodon be prepared if the ICE opens an account?

@u_urban @_elena

@stux BTW, blocking on Mastodon is also visible. And worse: blocked people can often still read all your public postings. We also have room for improvement when it comes to safety!

@vladcampos This. And a lot of independent media/journalists, scientists, climate scientists especially, NGOs. Doing Social Media professionally, I am obliged to have an account there for reading their news.
Many left Mastodon after a test phase reporting they had bad experiences with people telling them on the very first day how they have to behave or write their posts.
I like the Fediverse like you, it's my centre. But for reaching masses (important for activists), it's too niche.

@_elena I am staying here. No Stasi, no Nazis, no AfD, no ICE, no DHS, no CDU, no CCP….problem solved.

@NatureMC @nazokiyoubinbou @_elena

It would be blocked by most instances, mine for shure, I had the freedom to choose!

@NatureMC @_elena That “telling how to behave" is so true. It happened to me the very first time I tried Mastodon. All I did was post a picture of myself to illustrate something I wanted to mention about a run, and I was told it should be set as “content warning". It was a very basic picture, but because it was a selfie, I "should set it as content warning." Why? It was a very unwelcoming experience.
