Returned to Bluesky after six months and I'm wondering how things have gone for you. What are you working on?

Checking back into bsky and sorry to see you're still looking for work. I liked the IF you made a while ago. Wishing you the best.

Sounds like you're shaping up to be an even worse place for public discourse.

Welcome, new #BlueSky users. This is still a problem and has been "looked into" with no positive result. Blue Sky is a dangerous place for discourse, where poor thinkers who are routinely shut down on other platforms have free reign to be as awful as they like and effectively delete YOUR content.
Yesterday I discovered that if someone blocks you on bluesky is deletes their replies to your posts.
Kinda scary for discourse because yesterday I made a counter point to a callout post and got blocked. And now on the thread it looks like the whole community agrees with it.

Interesting. So if you query for all posts made by User A, it simply will not return any posts User A made on User B's posts if User B blocked them?

Great job. Is it technically possible to see posts a user has made which are not publicly visible on Bluesky due to them being blocked?

Bluesky has maybe half the features Twitter has, and is a dangerous place for discourse.

This comic confuses diversity for wokeness. Wokeness is not pro-diversity, but rather uses it as a social justice tool to destroy and subjugate people/ideas which aren't part of the typically "diverse" groups. It seeks to empower only through weakening others.

Looks great. I feel like #3's Old has more "soul" but otherwise, improvements across the board.

You can use this tool to see who's blocking you/another person. I outed Michael Avolio as sympathetic to authoritarianism and Mohammad Rasoul as a (fragile) misogynist, but you'll never know that because them blocking me hid their posts to the public.

It did not steal your art nor your ideas, it copied them and reinterpreted them. No theft has occurred.

⚠ Unlike Twitter, blocking someone on Bluesky will publicly hide all interactions between both parties. This means the receiver of criticism can effectively hide a critic's comment. This promotes echo chambers. At this time, I wouldn't consider Bluesky a safe place for any contentious discourse.
