His grand vision remains to leave Mastodon users in control of the social network, making their own decisions about what content is allowed or what appears in their timelines.

I don't use Mastadon cause I don't care for micro-blogging, but nevertheless, I like this.

Considering the people pushing bluesky are the same ones usually praising government surveillance, I don’t trust it for one second. Smells like a psyop honeypot.

Can you show me an example of that? Of the people pushing Bluesky also praising government surveillance?

The Washington Post published a guide encouraging and teaching users how to migrate to the platform.

But don’t take my word for it. Jump on and look around. It’s as crowded with neoliberals as Truth Social is with Red MAGAs.

Kinda depends on what you're filling your feed with. Mine is filled with naked gay men, and I'm pretty pleased with that.

But do the naked gay men have an exhibition fetish, especially by government agents?

Do a bunch of men who post nudes on the internet in a very public forum for free have an exhibition fetish? The world may never know...

I'm just trying to extrapolate to being supportive of government surveillance, and proving that other commenter right.

And I was ignoring your point since it's not as if the government is going to draw the line for surveillance at Mastodon.
