None of these "platforms" are a public right. Not a single one.

If she wants, she could setup her own mastodon instance and pay for her own hosting fees, but she'll watch herself get defederated from every mainline instance because no one else is obligated to deal with her.

Who's the fuck making a pack of kid-sized handcuffs?

Registered sex offenders

Reminds me of how nick fuentes got banned as soon as he made a rednote account.

[–] Cold_Brew_Enema@lemmy.world 23 points 11 hours ago

I fucking love that that stupid cunt got banned. Fills my heart with joy

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 92 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine how gay people felt trying to get married until just a few years ago.

Banned for simply existing.

How about trans people trying to travel into or out of a country. Or applying for a job and having to submit their deadname and their birth sex revealing their medical history. Or getting pulled over and getting interrogated over their ID. Or trying to take a leak while at the office or a restaurant and being told they have to leave.

Banned for simply existing.

How about being born as a visible minority and getting stopped and frisked just for being in public.

Banned for simply existing.

But not being on Bluesky? That’s taking things too far!

Until just a few years ago? Take a look at yesterday. It's back.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 13 points 13 hours ago

I have no idea what all the effects of that executive order are, but yeah I could see that being the case now in a lot of places.

Marriage affects your taxes, your ability to buy in a house as a couple, adoption, your will/estate, being in the hospital... A lot of important things.

It's really basic human rights.

I'm from under a rock or maybe the wrong side the pond. Who's this? Some conservative nutjob with too much of a podium?

[–] shy_mia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 8 hours ago

Trump's right hand woman, in a sense. And that hand has definitely gone places...

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 39 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Exactly so. She was very close to Trump, but his team ran her off for being too nutty.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 28 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

"too nutty" for trump's team? Holy fucking shit, I didn't know that was possible

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 18 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

If I remember correctly this person was too nutty even for Marjorie Taylor Greene. I'm not from the US but these crazies have made it into international news enough times that I know who they are.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 9 points 10 hours ago

Only billionaires get to Sieg Heil in public, she just didn't know her place.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

I believe she was the origin of "they're eating the dwawgs" comment in the debate

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 23 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

Kinda shows just how "decentralised" bluesky actually is if they can just ban her like that.

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Stop making centralized websites sound so good... banning known harassers and grifters before they can hurt people.

Also, you'd see the exact same complaining if this had been a lemmy.world account. Nothing stopping her from making her own instance, but she won't because she doesn't understand how any of that works and it's too much effort when she can just complain about being censored for her beliefs (to harass minorities or whatever).

The centralized part of Bluesky is the node infrastructure that connects all the instances together. As I understand it, anybody can start their own instance, but they all run through Bluesky's lemmy.world equivalent. I've seen plenty of people from other instances, but it seems like just a way to host your account off the main platform as far as I can tell from using the official app.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 6 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

You realistically cannot host your own Bluesky instance.

[–] bizarroland@fedia.io 9 points 11 hours ago

If you don't like it, just use the at proto protocol and make your own app.

Aside from that, it wasn't even her Main account that was banned. She was making multiple accounts,

And it was one of her sock puppet accounts that was banned.

Of course, after they realized she was making sock puppet accounts, they banned the main one also.

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 3 points 13 hours ago

One instance app!

[–] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 39 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Loomer finally gets to feel what its like to be the people she vehemently discrimates against, yet I get a feeling she won't learn a damned thing from that.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 46 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

She will not.

Their whole MO is whining when they lose, and crowing when they win. Whatever region of the brain is supposed to map their experience to other people, so that they can feel what that other person is feeling and imagine it as their own experience, is simply atrophied or doesn't exist. Their side and their own feelings are hugely important, and must be protected. Yours do not, because fuck you, you're not them. They do not apologize for this or make any attempt to hide that it is the way.

In case anyone wants actual proof:

They measured empathetic responses using an MRI. Conservative's empathetic responses are stunted.

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 56 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

These people can't stand stand they will be left behind in Twitter like being on the titanic

Daria? I'm signing up.

Whatever the wrong lesson is here, that's the one Loomer will learn from this.

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Well i mean she couldn't possibly be wrong, lol! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] in4apenny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

That image reply actually made me laugh out loud.

How I imagined a gif of that would be, that or a singular tear slowly forming.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 14 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Do we know what instance banned her?

Those are just client nodes, the actual server is the relay and there's only one of those https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky/

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 6 points 12 hours ago

Thanks! I did not know this.

Off to make some space on my phone...

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 5 points 15 hours ago

This one is epic.
