None of these “platforms” are a public right. Not a single one.
If she wants, she could setup her own mastodon instance and pay for her own hosting fees, but she’ll watch herself get defederated from every mainline instance because no one else is obligated to deal with her.
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!
Until just a few years ago? Take a look at yesterday. It’s back.
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.
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?
Trump’s right hand woman, in a sense. And that hand has definitely gone places…
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.
In case anyone wants actual proof:

They measured empathetic responses using an MRI. Conservative’s empathetic responses are stunted.
I feel compelled to note that this correlation doesn’t necessarily mean there’s straightforward causation either direction. That is to say that I don’t believe that conservatives are inherently less empathetic. Such a belief can hardly be scientifically tested but ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ it helps me to cope
She’s the Main Character.
These people can’t stand stand they will be left behind in Twitter like being on the titanic
I sent this to a friend and they replied with this meme
They went onto to say “idk, each time I think I understand what Hegel was saying, I think a little more and get confused again”, which I think is (as the kids say) a tremendous mood
Daria? I’m signing up.
Kinda shows just how “decentralised” bluesky actually is if they can just ban her like that.
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.
You realistically cannot host your own Bluesky instance.
Yeah, it seems more like an analog to having your account hosted locally than anything else. Like running your own empty Lemmy instance just for your account instead of creating one on .world.
Supposedly, they plan to standardize the federation protocol and hand it off to a nonprofit so that anybody can create their own proper instance. Supposedly. The way it sounds like the infrastructure is set up makes it sound feasible, if not plausible, but I’m not gonna hold my breath on whether or not that actually happens.
If you don’t like it, just use the at proto protocol and make your own app.
Aside from that, it wasn’t even her Main account that was banned. She was making multiple accounts,
And it was one of her sock puppet accounts that was banned.
Of course, after they realized she was making sock puppet accounts, they banned the main one also.
One instance app!
That image reply actually made me laugh out loud.
Me too! And it gets better: it’s a gif
How I imagined a gif of that would be, that or a singular tear slowly forming.
This one is epic.
