Whenever beating up fascists and their sympathizers is a question the answer is always yes >:3
We should keep them all trapped on twitter forever.
It's a good containment zone for the trash.
If you see someone supporting Trump tell them to go back to twitter and block them

Just had to block someone that said wanting a democracy and not supporting a dictatorship was "Chasing perfection at the cost of the good".
That's wild given a dictatorship has the whole issue of succession, even with a perfectly benevolent leader they gonna die one day.
haha goddamn

So much harder to manufacture consent without centralized gatekeepers
That makes me wonder, what comes after decentralized gatekeepers?
Chances are, fediverse will end up with right wing instances that only communicate with themselves and maybe some centrists, left wing will only communicate with themselves and maybe some centrists, centrists will see all
centrists will see all
I dunno, has this ever actually happened? I think centrists almost universally end up backing the right-wing. Hell, the Centrists were vital in the Nazi's coming to power, and it literally would not have happened without them.
And the 'left wing' is going to be a fractured bunch that overlap slightly, yet Social Democrats, Marxists, Anarcha-Feminists, these 'left wing' groups have vastly different ideas of the best way to help everyone, and I don't see Centrists asking the Anarchists what's up. Centrists are how we got neo-Liberalism, and 'well we can't BAN abortion... but we can limit it unless the woman is...' They want an 'inbetween' in an era when fascists have taken over the most powerful country in the world, with the open backing of fascists/authoritarians in other nations. What's the centrist response to concentration camps in Guantanamo Bay? What sort of chat will happen between Centrists and the Right-Wing with banning abortion? How about the rights of people transitioning? Because from what I'm seeing, they seem awfully okay with it.

See all, but understand nothing.
Well, bluesky isn't the fediverse, but the point stands.
You're correct. But blue sky does support federation, just not the same protocol as the fediverse, right?
Federation with what?

I'm ignorant af tbh 😅 Thanks for the clarification
It sort of depends on how you define fediverse. If you mean things using the ActivityPub protocol and are federated with Mastodon, Lemmy, etc. then no, it's not part of the fediverse. If you mean anything using federated technology then you could possibly include it. https://docs.bsky.app/docs/advanced-guides/federation-architecture It uses something called AT instead of ActivityPub. I'm not personally aware of any other services or instances using it, but I also didn't look very hard.
Edit: I learned that the term AT Protocol uses for their version of fediverse is "atmosphere". So I wouldn't necessarily say it's part of the fediverse, but the context of the usage matters.

Bluesy is a business, Mastodon is a community tool that runs on the ActivityPub (same as Lemmy which is what we are talkin on).
I think Mastodon would be what you're looking for.
