Bsky hates its users
He got banned for doxxing? Is that right?
I never trust anyone who says "I got banned from ____ for saying _____". I've never seen that claim match the reality of what happened. I hope he posted proof somewhere at some point
*I don't use Bluesky
I don't think sharing publicly available documents constitutes doxxing

There are no bans on nostr. And we desperately need more antifa to drown out the 3 white supremacists we can't ban
Oh my, what's that thing? I tried nostr earlier this year after reading about their tech side and finding it interesting, but then I met their human side and... it was shocking (I lack words to properly explain the feeling). Most posts were, in order of amount of occurrence: cryptocurrency praising like it's 2015, bashing on leftism, some weird humor I didn't understand (maybe it was better not to understand), anti-government stuff, racist memes and a (maybe lost) user that posted some beautiful photos they took as amaetur photography practice. I literally stopped scrolling and uninstalled it when I saw a post claiming that pasteurizing milk is a genocide and an act from the government against us (the other users were even endorsing it!)
Definitely a good technology overrun with cultists. Better content curation tools & more users will fix it
Heads up, I sometimes post screenshots of replies like this as examples of how nostr looks to outsiders, because those cultists act confused about why no one joins
Did you say screenshot? I better fix the typing errors and dress my finest clothes!
It's a shame that Nostr's brand is tainted by its community in a lot of people's eyes, there's a lot to like about it as a protocol and as a free software project that is independent from that stuff.
Tbh I think of Lemmy in the same terms. Like, people contemplating coming here from e.g. Reddit could block all the anti-Western propaganda (e.g. calling for actual murder against us), and find some pools of content that are halfway worthwhile... but like, why would they bother? For the ideological purity of not contributing to enshittification? Anyone who thinks that way is already here though.
Whether facing "leftist" tankies on Lemmy or "conservative" right-wingers on Nostr, mainstream non-technical normie users are going to just nope right out of either.
If you avoid one or two instances you rarely encounter tankies on Lemmy. You'll still encounter leftists, but that's a good thing.

You have a bunch of white supremacists because there are no bans...
If you're a giant piece of shit saying horrific garbage you're probably going to flock to the platform where no one can do shit about it...
