Saying bsky "harbours transphobes" is literally the most hilarious complaint I've heard in a looooong time. :blobcat-joy:

Let me guess: This is because the platform refused to ban Jesse Singal.

This is like complaining that a certain place "harbours satanists" because they refuse to ban Richard Dawkins.

Of course, nothing prevents anyone from joining fedi because there's no central authority that can ban you. In fact, there can be literal neo-nazis and pedophiles on fedi and nobody can actually ban them. All you can do is tell your instance admin to ban instances that host those accounts, which is a slippery slope and is massively hurting fedi, leading partly to centralisation and partly a splitting of the network into isolated fragments... #fediblock

Bsky has block lists, which are similar in splitting the network into isolated echo chambers, so it's not much different in that regard. Same with Twitter for that matter.

The only difference of fedi is that it's decentralised. The cultural problems are all the same no matter where you go because the current Zeitgeist is: incessant culture war BS and massive echo chambers.
