@stefano thank you for putting a big smile on my face with this priceless toot. It needs to be framed and hung at the Louvre

@sloanlance not just ICE but also 4Chan-minded bad actors that may harass users blocking gov accounts

@stux indeed. it's like a perfect honeypot if you think about it

@on_code thank you Laurent!

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

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

@aaronmccollum thank you Aaron

@smattymatty indeed 🥲

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

I'm well aware that posting this info on the Fediverse seems like a pointless exercise, but it's to raise awareness and spread the word to people active in BOTH places.

I was never really active on #Bluesky and entirely stopped using it months ago but there's no point in posting this info there because I have zero reach. Or rather: 1100+ followers and 1-2 likes (at best!) and zero comments for any post. It's like I'm shadow-banned.

If you use it and enjoy it no judgement but please be safe!

An important PSA for people who are active on #Bluesky and who, upon hearing that the ICE account was officially verified, are saying: "I will just block it."

Blocking on Bluesky is NOT PRIVATE: it's very easy to see who is blocking any account by visiting sites that list that information.

I took a screenshot from https://clearsky.app, listing all the accounts that are blocking ICE (I pixelated avatars and usernames for privacy purposes).

The safest bet is to mute (that info is private)
