Everyone can join BlueSky, so why wouldn't they need to confront opposing "evidence"?

Try joining and posting any political statements that aren't strictly far-left, and you'll find out why pretty fast.

What did you post? Did you get banned or what?

yep, this is what I found. The evidentiary or reasonable basis doesn't matter. You will get shouted down and mass-blocked via shared blocklists, which is an absolutely horrible idea.

As far as I know you can deliberately choose who you follow (like on Twitter) and which algorithm you use to compose your feed (unlike Twitter). It gives me more power to decide what is important to me and what isn't. How is that not an improvement?
