What’s with all this beating around the bush? What “certain rules”? What community guideline did Bluesky implement to ensure they’d never “take off”?

- fsflover 1y agoWhich beating? There's no single set of rules in Mastodon and it can't exist, just like with emails. Large servers (like Gmail) can make their rules and ban everyone who disagrees, but you can conclude that "email has unfair rules" from that. I don't really care about the centralized Bluesky.
- TimorousBestie 1y ago> Gab wasn't isolated by all servers, just those who prefer certain rules. That’s the sentence I’m referencing. I understand how Mastodon works theoretically, but I have no idea why Gab was partially excluded. I haven’t been on Mastodon in years. This apparently plays into why OP thinks Bluesky is a dead end, so.

- TimorousBestie 1y agoI see. So Bluesky is going to fail because people can’t say slurs on it. Would’ve been a lot easier if OP had just opened with that.
