Back in 1993, I went to get another degree to just to get internet access, which was one of the few ways to get it back then. We had VAX and Unix, both fine platforms, hundreds of students would log in to one CPU from a terminal on campus or the house. We were connected to the world and communications were fast. I remember that's when the entire continent of Australia was connected by a pair of 2MB cables at the time. We had many distributed servers for news, email, IRC, gopher, etc, but it was lightning fast. Engineers at companies put tech documents on ftp servers. The internet was a big world library and the world was free. #JavaScript wasn't invented yet to slow us down or bury us in popups and advertisements. The entire internet was ad-free and advertising was a ban offense.
Then one morning I remember what would be known as #EternalSeptember, thanks to #AOL. And the #CanterSiegel spam happened. And the real cranks invaded. Many of us banned every .com address to regain sanity. This is when investors invaded the internet to hype it up into television quality. At least we still have #Wikipedia, #InternetArchive, and #Mastodon. Watching #Bluesky open up the floodgates to fascists was obvious to those of us who remember the past.

It's the latest #Mastodon Moral Panic that requires no thinking to take a life-or-death position on
Apparently the US #ICE (you may have heard of it) has joined #Bluesky
So the Performative Political Purist class demand that everyone with an Performative Political Conscience must **leave** Bluesky

@KimberlyN @GottaLaff The issue I have with #Bluesky is I have never been able to join because of captcha that my accessible tech won’t decipher, which wouldn’t be a big deal except this means that when someone posts something from Bluesky I can’t read it. Oh, and I miss you too, you’re definitely one of the people who has helped to keep me sane.

Content warning:fedi, bluesky, meta
are people especially mad at #bluesky because the US government has accounts there and is posting fashy nonsense, or is there another major reason?
