Since this mentions #discord in particular, Discord's policies are pretty bad for free expression, particularly when it comes to sexual expression (and it's a blunt ban). I get there are worse services but still. #freespeech

Bluesky has been known to remove sexual content they don't like. Content Twitter had no issue with in the past.

Bluesky suffers from privacy issues, despite making nods towards digital rights.

Stop mythologizing it. #freespeech

Likewise, these args like "the rigged system" seem to fall apart when you compare it to another site (I'm aware there may be ppl who don't like a recent FB policy change).

Finally, as we've covered before, a lot of Bluesky's freedom is *illusory*. #freespeech

This has less to do with the management of a site or technical architecture. It has much to do with hype cycles in the media. It curiously ignores Bluesky is not the only other platform. There's Threads, Reddit, Discord, but they present it as Twitter vs Bluesky. #freespeech

They promised sunshine, rainbows, and unicorns. An unrealistic promise. Now, the media determined there are users who're too much, clobbering former NYTimes columnist, Jesse (and a newer pundit), and they are voicing their concerns, including a NYTimes journalist. #freespeech

Even on Twitter, the small character limit was always a bad architectural decision and it was always stifling.

Plus, this isn't something which is done with practically any other crime, so it seems strange to keep lowering the threshold.

There has to be a point when turning medical professionals into snitches, rather than actually doing their jobs, becomes a problem.
