Ok, I guess I'll use Mastodon more. :(
That's not :(! That's :)!
Mastodon is pretty cool, I tell you.
Mastodon is pretty cool, it's just that I like the community I've gathered together on BSKY more. It really is a case of you go where the people are and BSKY feels more alive comparatively. My Mastodon feed feels like a news feed of reposted paper articles. BSKY feels like real people.
That's interesting—that's not my experience at all! Maybe you could try following more people, or setting up some hashtag timelines using the advanced web interface? You can create timelines combining different hashtags, that way.
Wafrn has fediverse (Mastodon) and atproto (Bluesky) support
well about 20 minutes ago the kws magically went away. guessing they are kneejerking to the recent court decisions. 07/09/2026 kws is back. for people that do that kind of shit,its a good way to keep names and addresses in a sellable database with the user none the wiser
Yep, I was not going to provide data to any website for age verification. So my BlueSky account is gone.
Ah, there's the reason. Texas has a law requiring it and an appeals court allowed it to go through.

i was, but the KWS crap is still borked after 4 attempts
I just vpn'ed through Texas and yup, got that too. As soon as I changed back to my normal location and reloaded it was fine. If that ends up happening to me I'm just gonna delete my account, fuck that shit. Nothing there worth fascists keeping an eye on me.
sad but true
Is this in UK or AUS? Or some fuckass local state law? I’m in US and not seeing it.
texas.
Fuckass local state confirmed
verily
and FUCK EPIC GAMES for making this massively intrusive bullshit
How dystopian of them.
Blacksky ain't locked out yet, it's having trouble though, almost like Bsky corporate is trying to screw third parties too.
not surprising
BlueSky was always a PsyOp trap anyway
Psst: https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds
yeah looked at that.
Good, let them burn....
It's become painfully clear bluesky isn't worth your time
Bye kid.
63 years old makes me a kid eh? heh
Kind of a shitty one, but you do you🙂
