I was trying to post COVID updates from Mississippi and was blocked from doing so. I spend as much time there as possible, which unfortunately is far too little.
I live in New Orleans. 🙏

You can find our COVID-related updates at pmc19.com/data
In 1-3 weeks, we expect to see a significant departure from the lull.
We also post updates routinely on IG, Twitter, TikTok, and occasionally LinkedIn. 🙏

It's troubling to me that so many people fled to BSky over the politics of social media apps but care so little on this issue. It's a critical failure in the overall strategy of BSky's management if they cannot fund basic legal services or simply do not care about people in the Deep South.

In the same way that one would disapprove of BSky theoretically blocking NY or CA, one should be troubled by any app that cuts off access to specific states with such apathy.
People in Mississippi cannot post or read about climate events, food drives, or COVID on BSky. That's troubling.

I was attempting to post public health updates from Mississippi here *while vacationing on Labor Day weekend* when learning of the ban. They do not let people in Mississippi post. They do not let people in Mississippi access PMC updates here. Bsky has not indicated spending $1 to fight this issue.

I posted that I was taking a 1 month boycott of bsky because they blocked access to Mississippi and are doing nothing to fight for geographic justice. Working in the south, my job is fighting for geographic justice, so I have no interest in this app.

This prevented readily sharing PMC COVlD updates. If Bsky blocked underdeveloped nations, there would be outcry, but blocking U.S. people of the south is tolerated. Treated as non-human.
This is a part of a broader pattern of Bsky users posting prejudiced & racist views on geo-spatial COVlD maps.

Yes, that's all it is. It's been more of an issue than usual of late.

Stay safe! I worry what we're seeing in a few states will soon be more widespread.

We are at about 1 in 65 now. Still "High." The real-time numbers are getting retroactively corrected upward or downward any given week though. Not good.
