(Plot twist Puke Green Sky was actually Gangrene Sky all along. People were tricked!)

@hyperreal thanks. I actually blocked the bridge months ago, so feel free to share a screenshot if it works better

@_elena

BSky is:

- centralized
- US based
- owned by a mini-big-tech-bro

Just forget it and let’s focus on the good things in life.

@_elena @hyperreal How to block the bridge? Thanks!

@_elena Thanks for posting here. I’m active on both and appreciate the heads up on this!

There is no privacy on bluesky or any other application hosted in US.
US government can request data anytime.

@UlrikeHahn

@_elena That was the reason for deleting my account 5 minutes before.

@_elena

Damn. Hopefully this gets a wave of people to quit bluesky and join fedi - if ICE was on fedi, the majority of decent instance hosts would just block them outright, so their users wouldn't have to worry.

@smattymatty indeed 🥲

@aaronmccollum thank you Aaron

@_elena I'm not sure if blocking the bridge also blocks linked posts. As far as I can tell on my Bsky account the link to your OP that I shared on Bsky still resolves correctly. Maybe blocking the bridge is a different thing. Or I don't know lol.

@hyperreal good to hear! at any rate my account couldn't be bridged because it starts with an underscore (a quirk of the bridge)...

@_elena I've shared your post on Bluesky. I hope it'll help people there.

@aaronmccollum @_elena It's a real worry that right now, thousands of people with reason to fear ICE are voluntarily adding themselves to a handy list of potential targets, simply by blocking the account.

Again and again, the Bluesky people demonstrate they have no interest in the safety of users.

@ApostateEnglishman @aaronmccollum indeed... even if this is unintentional, it's starting to feel like a honeypot

@on_code thank you Laurent!

@_elena There are many more companies, institutions, news outlets, YouTubers etc. there then here. For example, several EU institutions and politicians are pretty active there. So, I have a few lists and use it as sort of a reader to check the latest news and other information once or twice a day. Mastodon is where I follow and interact with real people, which is what I really enjoy here.

@_elena I wouldn’t use any US service for talking about ICE right now. They’ve got full Palantir coverage on it. Absolutely no doubt on my mind.
