Federation (which Bluesky also strives to achieve) is not something that you’ll even notice once registered, and the lack of users (and thus content) is a self-fulfilling prophecy, don’t you think?

They are not.

That’s mostly a Mastodon thing. Part of the reason why Mastodon has a weird reputation is that you are more than encouraged to label your posts there, or there WILL be comments.

Yes (somewhat), just like you can post on Lemmy with Honk, but note that all ActivityPub software, while speaking the same protocol, interacts best with its own kind. Yet.

Narrator: they will not

Have you tried to make your point without comparing the people first? It could help.

I can both engage in the issue and try to point out bigotry about it online. The sheer fact that the post only talks about “violence against women” instead of “violence itself” makes comments like mine necessary, I’m afraid. It’s saddening to see that not all violence is condemned with the same energy by some.

You obviously don’t give a shit enough to become an activist for your own opinions

No, you are wrong. However, it is perfectly reasonable to be an activist and still post on social media sometimes.

unrelated

Also no.

The issue is mentioned in the text accompanying the post:

Activists have called on the government to do more to end violence against women.

I wish ‘activists’ would finally stop asking which gender the victim belongs to first in their fight against violence.

Bluesky bad

Crypto Goatse.

Get Disney and Sony first!

Time for a revolution.

I wish Cholensky would finally be President.

Because they did not.

Classy comment.

But at least someone attempted to explain to you why you’re getting buried in downvotes.

I’m old enough and have been on the internet long enough not to judge the value of my statements by how many thumbs up they get. With regard to global politics, however, I think it’s perfectly reasonable to exchange arguments, and I find it regrettable that many people seem to think that pressing voting symbols is enough of an argument.

This whole discussion exists because the USA aren’t a free country either, or else the US-based Linux Foundation would not have to act like it does, I thought?

Which open source developer has been killed in Russia for being a Russian developer?
