It's actually nice to see BlueSky now dropping its mask and subjugating itself to authoritarian self-censorship over disappearing of US residents by ICE.
Corporations will almost always subjugate themselves under government pressure because they're here to make money, not to defend free speech.
The best bet you have exposing government tyranny is here on Mastodon. Join us.

Put your hand up if you think Bluesky sucks.
🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋
Put your hand up if you think Bluesky is good.
Huh, that’s weird. No reaction there. It must be a sign…
Should probably switch to Mastodon or some other truly decentralised Fedi service…

The doors are closing on the open Internet.... (I expect at some point they'll actually force you to submit ID to prove your birthday that you have added in there).

Same as an awful lot of other #Bluesky users. What a coincidence 🤷

Bluesky Birthdate Required
So, it seems like now you can no longer use #Bluesky unless you provide them with your birthdate.
Others report you can't even close your account unless you provide your birthdate to them.
bluesky is demanding my birthday and won't let me take any other action.
so, theoretically, if someone wanted to delete their account, they can't even do that without first providing a birthday. what bullshit. #bluesky #bsky

Wir hatten ja gerade das Thema das dass #fediverse eine bessere Wahl ist als #blueSky ist.
Aktuell spukt die Meldung herum dass man nun zwingend sein Geburtsdatum angeben muss...
Und (viel schlimmer) dass hier #USA bereits verbrechen von #ICE Zensieren
(nicht von mir Verifiziert)
Before the golden hour arrived, the moonlight arrived early!

Winter sky. The cold is gradually increasing. #美しい風景 #ブルスコ写真部 #Bluesky #Photography #Photo #photographic #landscape #landscapephotography @botanical.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy @bskyphotos.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy

Nah, I don't think I will. Guess that means I no longer have a Bluesky presence. Oh well.

Bluesky Controversy
Another incident seems to have occurred over on #Bluesky.
As reported by Bluesky user Sage Divinorum (https://skyview.social/?url=https://bsky.app/profile/trans.bsky.social/post/3m7heh3wdmc2w) it seems that a post by someone whose husband was taken by ICE was removed and their account suspended. In addition, Bluesky Head of Trust and Safety Aaron Rodericks posted a sarcastic GIF ridiculing the person.
The incident is being criticized for both unprofessionalism and administration friendly political bias.
