Cartoon: Just another day

I know a lot of you still think of the #Fediverse as just “Mastodon”.

But it’s far more than that. There’s an entire ecosystem of federated message boards that’s already proven popular: #Piefed, #NodeBB, #Lemmy, #Mbin, and #Discourse.

Even the classics like #Friendica and #Hubzilla have solid forum features baked in.

If you’re only here for the microblogging, you’re missing a key piece. Communities built around interests are something #Twitter never offered, and #Bluesky still doesn’t.

So if you’re looking to replace your #Facebook Groups, the Fediverse already has you covered.

First, #Bluesky corp shadowbanned my account about 6 hours ago (more or less).

A few minutes ago, they completely suspended the account.

Reason? Unknown.

They claim:
1. They don't do shadowbanning. But they actually do, you'll get flagged with a hidden label "needs-review".
2. They claim "needs-review" is for accounts with suspicious activities like harassing people (not guilty), scamming (not guilty), suspicious (not guilty).

But they suspend you any way.

Oh, the account is hosted on an independent PDS. Yes, ATmosphere network suspension rest on Bluesky corps shoulders. All ATproto roads lead to Bluesky corp.

If you don't have any connection to the powers-that-be, it's more likely goodbye data. So much for championing "portability" and "owning your data". 🤷🏽

For sure the reason will be "it's automated" again, we've heard that since 2024 and it's still a very faulty "automated system" that produces high false positives.

As the great firewall of America keep closing in on us things keep getting weirder and weirder.

We're on the verge of a digital dark ages.

Cara, Isso aqui é interessante, Bounce lança serviço para migração de contas entre Bluesky e Mastodon

Even if #Bluesky could count as decentralized, I don't see how that does it any good if its infrastructure is so abstruse and hard to understand.

If you can understand what a server is, then you can pretty much grasp decentralization and the fediverse.

Compared with BS's truck about PDS's, relays, AppView, the distinction between the company and the app, etc., doesn't mastodon come out as the "easy" decentralized platform?

Have we been the normies all along?! 😱

Will Bluesky Block Most Red States?

Digesting Sarah Perez's @Sarahp great TechCrunch article on #Bluesky blocking users from Mississippi (https://techcrunch.com/2025/08/28/mississippis-age-assurance-law-puts-decentralized-social-networks-to-the-test/), and noticing that almost all the "red" states have similar laws to Mississippi (see below).

So, will Bluesky soon be blocking users from these states? Do users want to take that chance?

It's easy to set up a truly decentralized Mastodon account, even if only as a backup >>> https://joinmastodon.org/

Bluesky now platform of choice for science community

Very interesting. I surprised Automattic has not launched a similar service, as #WordPress has the tech to import & export content (which is needed in the #Fediverse).

An ID-based age verification law has cut off Mississippi users from the social media app #BlueSky. #SCOTUS judge Kavanaugh said the law was "likely unconstitutional" but declined to stay it. https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/408412/bluesky-blocks-mississippi-users.html

I know people are arguing in the comments of this post, but —

Can we notice that — there is a conversation happening across the Fediverse, ATmosphere, Mastodon, and Bluesky.

And, consider that some level of success for the broader Social Web 🙂

#Bluesky
O Bluesky esta deletando as listas de bloqueios que os usuários criaram.

La verdad que me aburre hablar de #blueSky pero entiendo que la gente es libre de hacerlo. Yo por ejemplo he dado tremendas brasas con Melodi en su día, con Ventiladores de techo, etc ....

Pero hablando ahora enserio. ¿Alguien sabe como puede uno indicar que no quiere que se le hagan citas en #mastodon ?

Al parecer es algo nuevo que han incorporado. Y creo que permiten a la gente enterarse cuando les citan, perfilarse como que no quieren ser citados e incluso hacer que la cita se elimine.

#Bluesky Users: Pack Your Corporate Social Media Go Bag

Have an escape plan!

Yesterday all users in Mississippi were cut off. No notice.

As now repeatedly demonstrated, centralized corporate platforms are vulnerable. Will you be ready when it's your turn to be shut down?

Have a plan to evacuate to Public Social Media. Create an account on #Mastodon and use it as a secondary. You might even find you like it.

Be prepared. Begin building your online presence free from corporate overlords.

This is an odd verification law by Mississippi. Most sites outsource ID verification to third parties for security reasons, unless required by law (travel, financial & government sites).

But Mississippi requires social networks to store the data themselves, which would make them an obvious hacking target.

Any site on the #Fediverse may want to block Mississippi until an exemption is granted.

👉🏾 #Bluesky blocks #Mississippi under new age verification law https://www.theverge.com/internet-censorship/764697/bluesky-blocks-mississippi-age-verification-law

#Bluesky is no longer available to Mississippi residents.

#Mississippi’s HB 1126 requires platforms to introduce age verification for all users and get parental consent for anyone under 18. Penalties for noncompliance are up to $10,000 per user.

Sites have to collect and store sensitive information from all its users, in addition to the detailed tracking of minors. This is too much of a burden.

It is uncertain if the law applies to small self-hosted sites. The law only says it pertains to platforms that provide social interaction services.

Because of this, hear-me.social, feddit.online, and my-place.social will no longer permit registration or logins from IP addresses coming from Mississippi. Feddit.online already restricts traffic from both the UK and France due to similar laws that I cannot comply with, as NSFW communities can be accessed.
