Ugh. I went over to have a look. Big mistake. It's as bad as I thought it would be, and the comments are even worse. No, I didn't join for the reasons people have said here--don't give them our info.
Best to just stay away.
They're not going to propagandize there any more than they do anywhere else. We're not missing anything.
Totally fair reaction. BlueSky is decentralized but not private. Public posts are visible to anyone, including scrapers or monitoring tools (such as ShadowDragon). If you’re using it for organizing or sensitive convo, it’s best to treat it like Twitter and assume it’s public. Signal is better for secure comms. I’ll drop some resources soon to help folks stay safer.

I also noticed that there isn’t a way to mute or block their account.
Ughhh. More awful. Use proton email, PIA VPN, and Brave browser 👍
Fuck. Is blue sky still safe? Also, I haven’t seen anything from that site in my feed. This is the first I’m learning about it.

There must be a way to block. If not, we need to make a BIG FUSS!!!
Sick of the reach!
