  • Like the other US gov accounts that are on Bluesky, it sucks that they’re their and get verified, but Bluesky is a US based company. If they refused to verify or outright banned those accounts, I think its really likely they’d face legal threats from the Trump regime, similar to CBS. I dont think those threats would be valid, but that lately our courts do not care.

    ICE is already the third most blocked account, with nearly 100k blocks and only 330 followers, the majority of which seem to be following so they can ratio them in the replies whenever they decide to post. I think this kinda supports my point that federating with Bluesky is definitely not going to be flooding us with pro ICE users.

    Thanks to moderation lists they were blocked by a massive amount of users they even knew they had made an account, essentially leaving them with just a void to post into.



  • What? Do you actually think Bluesky is full of ICE supporters? Most of my feed right now is full of support for protests against ICE, calls for it to be abolished, and hate towards democrat reps that are too cowardly to commit to abolishing it.

    I just searched ICE and clicked top, the first two posts are some ICE Nazis busting ass on actual ice, and the third is just a post that says abolish ICE. The rest are all pretty similar.


  • “read the changes before installing a major update”

    Obviously I dont think people need to read every change log for every piece of software. I do think its a good idea to read the release notes for a major update of your DE thought, since its the piece of software that is going to effect you the most.

    And once it is no longer on and has become a setting, they can just remove the setting and force people to drop gsettings and then remove it completely.

    What reason do they possibly have to do this? The setting already exists and is feature complete. It doesnt require maintenance. They also noted in the merge request that many RHEL users use it, so RedHat has a financial incentive not to remove it.

    They could also instead ask people on first launch. Some people enable telemetry, so they will find out how many people prefer to keep it, which I bet will be most.

    They could also just make it a setting. I really dont think it makes a big difference. They can also still use telemetry to see how many users enable it. Based on this thread, I really doubt it will be most.

    The first time startup wizard should be kept relatively short and minimal. This just seems like a very unnecessary thing to include.
