the Xwitter exodus was originally ballooning to mastodon, which were handled by numerous independent servers. many asked for donations to foot the server costs.

then came bluesky, with the promise of decentralization with none of the hassles. it did all of the scaling alone, and got VC money for it

Feels like it should be bigger news that a journalist known for being loud about her investigations into banks/payment processors appears to be getting financially stonewalled by the entire industry unaminously right now.
The full count as of today:

YouTube suspended
Twitch banned 3x
Patreon suspended (temporary)
Patreon 3x audio flags (one false posi)
Ko-fi suspended (indefinite?)
Buy Me a Coffee suspended
Vice reporting censored
Pornhub censored 3x times
Fansly censored 1x
Is it really a conspiracy to say Ana is being explicitly flagged by finance bros when she's now been banned (or censored) from Twitch, Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee, Ko-Fi, and *PornHub*??

My #Discord account was falsely accused of spam or fraudulent behaviour and was disabled.

If anybody else was affected by this share me your stories and whether you were able to get your account back.

my assumptions were proven correct. this is exactly why i didn't bother moving my PDS even though i hate bluesky: there's no point in having your data stored somewhere else when every other stuff around it is orchestrated by bluesky.

So, you want to leave Bluesky, but you don't want to lose your community and start all over again.

Great news! You can leave without losing anything. Here's how.

Please share if you find this helpful so people don't lose their shit and go back to twt for no reason 🙏💖

history is littered with mountains and mountains of purportedly superior technology failing to deliver what they have promised.

it's like how people misunderstand natural selection. those who survive are the best, not the other way around.

i'm not even saying you should use mastodon. do you know how much control you have over your bluesky account? do you know that you have a DID that you can just... yoink and put it in your own server? have you even wondered why there's a "hosting provider" selector in the login screen of bluesky?

i know mastodon has problems, which is partly why i'm not so active over there. but protocol-wise, bluesky is order of magnitude more complex than mastodon. thought choosing instance was hard? how about choosing your app view? your PDS provider? your relay? it's all there, you just didn't see it.

i never liked bluesky for what it is, because i knew bluesky sold people a contradiction. they promised something that they either didn't intend to keep, or were incapable of keeping. had they kept to their promises of decentralization, the new ToS wouldn't have been so major news.

The whole point of decentralising was to insulate the community within from corporate censorships like this. You've gone out of your way to ditch established protocols, claiming it would be "better." You instead chose to run it like a more convoluted Twitter.

The experiment has failed.

it also came with a drastic uptick in my subscriber count, and it just surpassed 300!

i didn't get to celebrate the 200 subs properly because i had a plan for a slightly bigger number, but it flew past in days! thanks everyone for the subs!

I kept saying Webtoons was no good for creators and this only adds more to that sentiment.

Good luck getting your stuff seen now.

as we all know every programmer's dream job is to never have to code again and instead just manage PRs with unreliable code and communicate with the unreliable entities who wrote it

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.
Spoke with an anon source who had an interesting insight into Visa policy. Per a convo with their bank on the Steam/itchio situation today, Visa put new restrictions into place due to a new "government policy." The exact phrase used by Visa. No specific country was listed as the source of the policy
