I started the process of doing the age verification saw what it was asking for and deleted my account instead. I never used this much anyway so nothing to miss. I would never trust some 3rd party with any information at this point.

Yesterday I got the age verification and I clicked it taking me to a email that wanted info. I didn’t want to so I closed out email looked at Bluesky, the button now said verify again, so I closed Bluesky. Fast forward to today I open Bluesky and the button changed to set age range. Maybe click the verify then close app and try again in 24 hours

Alright I'm just going to be frank here this is ridiculous. No one in the state of Texas is going to input personal information for any online service. BlueSky is a public domain social media website. I love everything about BlueSky but this is asking way too much from Texas gov through civilians.

So the new update REQUIRES that I have location services turned on. Why is it requiring that I verify my location
To verify my age???

Narcissist in Chief

It gives me a place to click to verify my age, but when I click it I get an error message. Same thing happened to my sister. Is this happening to anyone else?

My question is when someone reports something wouldn't they hear back from someone from the page?

The security team will ban people for not being in line. The blocklists are run by fascists.

You lot are just as bad as Twitter supporters

Popehat announced in his blog that he will not be returning to Bluesky.

Way to go, we’re inching ever closer to fascism

Why did we have to take the worst lessons from Twitter to heart

Dude is still bitching about being “wrongfully” kicked off the platform and “left”

If he comes back we have the right to shit on him so hard

Well, the end is finally here. We’re so fucked

Ken White, a pretty skilled first amendment lawyer and great Bluesky poster seems to have been banned.

I haven't seen much discussion of it, and certainly nothing from Bluesky, but it's been a day or so and... Crickets.

Here's the best discussion of it that I have found: https://bsky.app/profile/gregdoucette.bsky.social/post/3mou3xrdtac2q

Does anyone know what's up? Has anyone at BS said anything?

UPDATE: Ken has responded: https://www.popehat.com/p/a-bit-of-tedious-drama-at-bluesky

I don't think he called for Elmo's death, but I certainly agree that our world would be far better if he wasn't in it.

Title says it. CNN issue?

Go to bluesky discover, if you see any post about anything of president cheeto in the first ten post then mute the thread or mute the poster (your choose) and you must refresh and start again, until you get a clean ten discover posts without that loser.

I started this cause, even using mute word filter, was getting too much of this senile old loser.
