still not 100% sure on this, but if i do decide to actually leave bluesky this will likely be my last post here and i'll be archiving my account

tl:dr this song is my current mood

i'm also considering trying out newgrounds as my new "home base" since it seems pretty relaxed, it's got good people running it and it supports all forms of creative work i dabble with (artwork, music, games and animation)

go check me out there if you'd like

i'm seeing less and less engagement on this site and more and more right wing idiots joining.

the bluesky team are actively bending the rules of their own site to platform and defend pathetic neonazis, and even people making relatively harmless comments about them are being heavily suppressed

twitter breaks often and adds features no-one wants, bluesky doesn't even have the courtesy of adding any features

twitter's algorithm constantly shows you hateful content, bluesky's algorithm shows you pages of content that you don't care about and then might randomly show you untagged diaper porn

but as time goes on it becomes clearer to me that bluesky isn't really that breathe of fresh air, just the same shit in a different toilet

twitter has a bumbling buffoon right wing ceo, bluesky has a bumbling buffoon right wing ceo

twitter censors LGBT content, bluesky censors LGBT content

when everyone (including me) jumped over from twitter, bluesky felt like a breathe of fresh air. sure, it wasn't PERFECT (with the site missing crucial features and with common outages) but it was a vast improvement over twitter's hate-driven algorithms, arbitrary bans and blatant censorship

Paledoptera 🦋 @paledoptera.bsky.social · 6d

honestly i'm considering it too

Paledoptera 🦋 @paledoptera.bsky.social · 6d

it just seems very suspicious that this post specifically gets affected and immediately de-listed when i could post like normal literally seconds later

1 1

Paledoptera 🦋 @paledoptera.bsky.social · 6d

so what's the technical reason for specifically this post being affected when none of my other posts from the last 12 hours have been affected, including several with images

ok butterfly app was fun but blatant censorship of criticism is not fun

Even more proof that bsky are quite literally suppressing people they don't like.

i dunno what got MY post hidden, whether it was asking for other socialmedia site recommendations or just saying "pathetic knee-oh-nat-see" but it is complete bullshit eitherway

this is really fucked and i encourage people to start looking for alternatives to bsky

i've seen other people complaining about their posts being deleted or shadowbanned, most notable example being @hausofdecline.bsky.social

i've also heard a lot of people who got suspended for saying ANYTHING about charlie kirk when he was murdered, though citation needed on that

the heritage foundation (authors of project 2025 and big ties to the trump administration) recently opened a bsky account and apparently a member of the bsky moderation is following them, as well as being listed as involved with the organization on wikipedia

Paledoptera 🦋 @paledoptera.bsky.social · 6d

further context:

jay, the ceo of bsky, has been facing backlash lately after a lot of really stupid choices by the moderation team (allowing large republican figures to stay on the platform and iirc censoring trans people)

she "responded" to the criticism by posting waffle pictures /srs

so allegedly bluesky is preventing people from seeing their own posts asking for alternative websites?
