Publicly available police reports.
I'm completely against doxxing. But there were public reports. That's censorship.
Bluesky suspending antifascist researchers for sharing publicly available information about literal nazis.

That’s also what many other social media would do because it’s easier to ban posting of personal information regardless of where it came from because you can’t trust moderation you outsourced to some third world country to do proper checks.
Example:
No. Reddit is quite open and pro-free speech, but it is not okay to post someone’s personal information or post links to personal information. This includes links to public Facebook pages and screenshots of Facebook pages with the names still legible.
Posting someone’s personal information will get you banned. When posting screenshots, be sure to edit out any personally identifiable information to avoid running afoul of this rule.

Bullshit. They’re just protecting Nazis. A competent programmer could write an algorithm to knock out the low hanging fruit, like public Facebook pages, in about five minutes.
Might take me a couple hours. Someone genuinely good and familiar with the space would have been done in less time than it took to write this comment.

can always come up with rationalizations but the fact remains there are other platforms that will not “cost optimize” it away.

I’m pretty sure he has nothing to do with bluesky. i think he’s into nostr now.
73ms@sopuli.xyz 20 hours ago
Nothing might be going too far. He left the board since it wasn’t good PR for them but Bluesky is not transparent about its ownership and Dorsey could well still have a stake in it.
Cyberflunk@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
that might explain why nostr is filled with rypto bros and racists. nostr world is toxic

Because for Americans when something went wrong it can never be a systemic issue by design. It was because all the fault of a person.
See also why they keep voting Democrat.(but this time fresh new blood will change it for real!)

He founded it, but he did indeed leave in 2024, i missed that bit of news

shouldn’t really surprise anyone. Didn’t their CEO like several months ago pretty much defend a known fascist/tranphob on the platform and essentially told people who complained about it to “not post” out of protest? Also Bluesky is extremely quick to bend to the whims of whatever government body makes demands. They were one of the first sites to quickly implement age verification in the UK I believe.

LOL what did you expect them to do, exactly? They can either comply with the law or be fined to death. Those are their choices.
cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 hours ago
Well, I expected them to capitulate while shuddering and moaning, but I would expect a not-shit company to not lead the pack at the very least.

This is lemmy, the expectation is you are so out of touch with reality you think a US-hosted service won’t get fucked over in a heartbeat by the US government.

Oh no, surprise, censorship on a centralized platform. No one saw that coming.
BossDj@piefed.social 1 day ago
He got banned for doxxing? Is that right?
I never trust anyone who says “I got banned from for saying _”. I’ve never seen that claim match the reality of what happened. I hope he posted proof somewhere at some point
*I don’t use Bluesky

I don’t think sharing publicly available documents constitutes doxxing
RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 18 hours ago
Even if it is, doxxing nazis is a good thing.

There are no bans on nostr. And we desperately need more antifa to drown out the 3 white supremacists we can’t ban
morto@piefed.social 1 day ago
Oh my, what’s that thing? I tried nostr earlier this year after reading about their tech side and finding it interesting, but then I met their human side and… it was shocking (I lack words to properly explain the feeling). Most posts were (in order of cryptocurrency praising like it’s 2015, bashing on leftism, some weird humor I didn’t understand (maybe it was better not to understand), anti-government stuff, racist memes and a (maybe lost) user that posted some beautiful photos they took as amaetur photography practice. I literally stopped scrolling and uninstalled it when I saw a post claiming that pasteurizing milk is a genocide and an act from the government against us (the other users were even endorsing it!)
iloveDigit@piefed.social 1 day ago
Definitely a good technology overrun with cultists. Better content curation tools & more users will fix it
Heads up, I sometimes post screenshots of replies like this as examples of how nostr looks to outsiders, because those cultists act confused about why no one joins

Yup, it’s beautiful. You know you can block, though, and filter content to only those you follow?

You have a bunch of white supremacists because there are no bans…
cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 hours ago
What authority consistently bans white supremacists at scale?
White supremacists are the eternal allies of the very concept of authority.
iloveDigit@piefed.social 15 hours ago
Except we can do shit about it, because there are no bans. That’s what you have backwards and that’s how they trick you into letting them increasingly take ownership of every discussion space in society

I use both, more voices against shit like this is good. I just recently logged into both accounts to protest Barri Weiss and her Trump ball licking.
