An important PSA for people who are active on #Bluesky and who, upon hearing that the ICE account was officially verified, are saying: "I will just block it."
Blocking on Bluesky is NOT PRIVATE: it's very easy to see who is blocking any account by visiting sites that list that information.
I took a screenshot from https://clearsky.app, listing all the accounts that are blocking ICE (I pixelated avatars and usernames for privacy purposes).
The safest bet is to mute (that info is private)

@_elena Great advice

@_elena I will never understand this decision. Iβve seen people say itβs just due to how ATProtocol works. But surely thereβs a way they could have implemented blocks and have them private.
@u_urban @_elena I feel like all the people who went to Bluesky because Twitter died and became the rabid zombie X learned precisely nothing. It is inevitable that Bluesky will hurt them too, but they will not go to Mastodon because any of a number of silly reasons they'll fight tooth and nail not to let go of.
I suppose a Redsky will open up and they'll go to it, then it will go bad and then a Puke Green Sky will open up and they'll go to that, and then a Gangrene Sky will open...
I'm well aware that posting this info on the Fediverse seems like a pointless exercise, but it's to raise awareness and spread the word to people active in BOTH places.
I was never really active on #Bluesky and entirely stopped using it months ago but there's no point in posting this info there because I have zero reach. Or rather: 1100+ followers and 1-2 likes (at best!) and zero comments for any post. It's like I'm shadow-banned.
If you use it and enjoy it no judgement but please be safe!
@_elena Good catch! I'll share a link to this post on Bsky.
(Plot twist Puke Green Sky was actually Gangrene Sky all along. People were tricked!)
@hyperreal thanks. I actually blocked the bridge months ago, so feel free to share a screenshot if it works better
BSky is:
- centralized
- US based
- owned by a mini-big-tech-bro
Just forget it and letβs focus on the good things in life.
@_elena @hyperreal How to block the bridge? Thanks!
@_elena Thanks for posting here. Iβm active on both and appreciate the heads up on this!
