  Too many people thought that Twitters Blue Checkmark meant you were special. That attitude carries over to Bluesky and being verified.

      Lol, yeah. If I saw an account labeled “American Nazi Party” with a blue check mark, I wouldn’t think “wow, Bluesky endorses Nazis” - I’d think “wow, this isn’t a satire account, these are actual Nazis, imma block them.”

      I’d think “wow they let Nazis on here. Like they know about them and are cool with that. This place is trash”

      And miss out on all the juicy trolling opportunities?

        Yes, driving Nazis from society is more important than including them so you can then performatively dunk on them.

      yeah but you have at least half a brain.

      most internet users barely have 1/10 of one. and demand other users be banned for not sharing their opinions, but would be outraged if they were banned for their objectionable opinions.

  So?

  Any place Nazis are allowed is not a place I want to be. At least on any Lemmy server I’d not block, Nazis get banned

    Are they banned in Mastodon? Lmao

    • badgermurphy@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      There is no Mastodon for them to be blocked on in the sense you’re talking about.

      Mastodon is similar in setup to Lemmy in that nobody owns it and anyone can run it. I am absolutely positive they are banned on tons of Mastodon servers and not banned on tons of others. If the server you are on is federated with even one server with one that isn’t banned, you could potentially see their posts, at which point you can either report those posts to your and their admins, or block them yourself.

        So the mastodon service supports Nazis.

        nobody owns it and anyone can run it

        They could have chosen a license that forbid usage for spreading hate. They put “free software” and “open source” above blocking hate speech.
        They’re providing software to Nazis, and I don’t really see how that makes them better than providing a place to post.

  I get why this would bug people.

  It’s a small act of legitimizing the domestic Gestapo.

    Pretty sure American tax dollars are what legitimized ice, unfortunately.

    I mean they are a legitimate government office. Trump didn’t found them, they’ve existed for over two decades. It’s only their abuse that’s recent.

  Publishing posts is exactly the act of endorsing their posts.

    Which no one will read because bluesky has a really great block system

    • Boiglenoight@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yeap. This is a provocative, reactive take that doesn’t consider much.

      I wouldn’t call it “endorsing”, but I would call it “platforming”. blahaj.zone is platforming you, lemmy.ml is platforming me, bluesky is platforming nazis.

  Most of the White House accounts were boosted by freshly created accounts. They got flagged in multiple lists immediately after joining and their engagement went to hell. After that, they got bored and went back to the nazi platform. Good moderation tools for the community helps.
