Did you know that if you do a Google search for “credulous sucker” it just returns a blank page?

Can you block entire servers, though? Do you have the ability to even tell content apart based on server of origin? It’s not clear that you can and the implication seems to be that the only thing you get out of hosting your own server is hosting your own data; it doesn’t seem to offer you any sort of control over federation.

So… “federation” without control? What’s the point?

They stress that a difference between their federation and ActivityPub is that on ActivityPub “your “instance”, or server, determines your community, so your experience depends on which server you join” while for them “On Bluesky, your experience is based on what feeds and accounts you follow, and you can always participate in the global conversation (e.g. breaking news, viral posts, and algorithmic feeds).” and “Moderation on Bluesky is not tied to your server, like it is on Mastodon. Defederation, a way of addressing moderation issues in Mastodon by disconnecting servers, is not as relevant on Bluesky because there are other layers to the system.”

The big difference is that I can’t choose an instance that blocks/does not interact with the servers loaded with Nazis, terrorists, and/or child abusers? Why the hell is it of such paramount importance to Jack Dorsey that the rest of us are forced to interact with Nazis?

You can still donate to them if you enjoy feeling like a sucker.

The things that the federal government is responsible for are laid out in the Constitution, everything the Constitution does not place into the responsibilities of the federal government is left to state or local authorities.

Tenth Amendment:

Y’all are seeing the real problem here, right? Your data is just available for anyone with the cash to pay for it. Stopping just the NSA from buying this data is attacking the issue from the wrong end.
