You can't even create a mastodon test account to test (and disprove) this theory?
- vidarh 3y agoIt explains a lot about Bluesky of they are that ignorant about the alternatives. You don't even need an account. You can disprove this nonsense by visiting any Mastodon server and looking at the local feed and confirm that most posts are accessible to anyone. Your instance won't get posts pushed to it if nobody on that instance follows a given account, but you can still pull unless an account is private, and at least one instance implements a kind of follow that pulls to let people keep tabs on accounts without openly following them.
