Bluesky is completely mental. People crucified X for occasional swastika "art", while Blusky openly promotes communist symbolism that is illegal in good chunk in Europe. Insane.
I don't use Bluesky much, but the software at least is not user-hostile like X.com. I can view threads/posts without logging in, or use alternative clients that support the AT Protocol.
As a sidenote, X is rightfully crucified for blatant anti-semitism and Hitler worship all over the site, complemented by Musk's own ridiculous anti-semitic dogwhistling and retweeting misinformation and conspiracy theories. The site is bottom of the barrel /pol/-tier trash. I literally searched "Hitler" seconds ago, and found a thread today full of people adoring him.
Are you referring to my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49454431? Can you explain how I'm promoting communist symbolism or crucifying innocent folks for "swastika art"? What part or what did I suggest was not truthful?
I flag and hide every single Twitter post that I see. HN’s code seems to be stuck in the 2000s, so there’s no easy way to automatically block or filter beyond that. To be honest, I just end up coming to this site less than I used to.

It makes a statement. Is it a statement you want to make?
Is there a convenient way to block them?
