      Stop making centralized websites sound so good… banning known harassers and grifters before they can hurt people.

      Also, you’d see the exact same complaining if this had been a lemmy.world account. Nothing stopping her from making her own instance, but she won’t because she doesn’t understand how any of that works and it’s too much effort when she can just complain about being censored for her beliefs (to harass minorities or whatever).

      The centralized part of Bluesky is the node infrastructure that connects all the instances together. As I understand it, anybody can start their own instance, but they all run through Bluesky’s lemmy.world equivalent. I’ve seen plenty of people from other instances, but it seems like just a way to host your account off the main platform as far as I can tell from using the official app.

    Imagine how gay people felt trying to get married until just a few years ago.

    Banned for simply existing.

    How about trans people trying to travel into or out of a country. Or applying for a job and having to submit their deadname and their birth sex revealing their medical history. Or getting pulled over and getting interrogated over their ID. Or trying to take a leak while at the office or a restaurant and being told they have to leave.

    Banned for simply existing.

    How about being born as a visible minority and getting stopped and frisked just for being in public.

    Banned for simply existing.

    But not being on Bluesky? That’s taking things too far!

        I have no idea what all the effects of that executive order are, but yeah I could see that being the case now in a lot of places.

        Marriage affects your taxes, your ability to buy in a house as a couple, adoption, your will/estate, being in the hospital… A lot of important things.

        It’s really basic human rights.

    Whatever the wrong lesson is here, that’s the one Loomer will learn from this.

    Loomer finally gets to feel what its like to be the people she vehemently discrimates against, yet I get a feeling she won’t learn a damned thing from that.

      She will not.

      Their whole MO is whining when they lose, and crowing when they win. Whatever region of the brain is supposed to map their experience to other people, so that they can feel what that other person is feeling and imagine it as their own experience, is simply atrophied or doesn’t exist. Their side and their own feelings are hugely important, and must be protected. Yours do not, because fuck you, you’re not them. They do not apologize for this or make any attempt to hide that it is the way.

    I’m from under a rock or maybe the wrong side the pond. Who’s this? Some conservative nutjob with too much of a podium?

      Exactly so. She was very close to Trump, but his team ran her off for being too nutty.
