For the folks saying "you can just switch to a different AppView" - that's not the point. The vast majority of people are here on the main app instance and they would ALL have to move in order to bypass the centralized censorship. What's more, I shouldn't have to. It's not worth it for me.

@chadloder.dev where can we find you when you leave here? The information you post here is of value to many, myself included, and I would be willing to find it elsewhere.

If you move to the fediverse after this, make sure you bridge back here with @ap.brid.gy

You'll be missed, not only for being a person on here that makes honorable decisions.

An understandable decision. Gonna miss ya on the feed, take care!

I mean the fact that they did it is enough to warrant not wanting to provide content for people to remain on the platform. Simple as.

Like they did something to provide cover when they alternative is literally just to do nothing

@chadloder.dev where can we keep up with your work and commentary? Mastodon? @bsky.app @moderation.bsky.app @safety.bsky.app censoring this reporting was dumb and you should feel dumb

Argh. The out-and-out fascists are bad but it's the bootlickers that are doing the work of shrinking our world. Me, I'm destitute, crippled and housebound, so I have near zero contact beyond socials, .: still shamefully juggling. I'll miss you (and pup) until I find you again elsewhere! Best wishes.

The Atmosphere is explicitly meant to offer alternatives to *centralized censorship* though - see atmosphereaccount.com Saying you "shouldn't have to" isn't helpful. People living in war zones and having to leave shouldn't have to do that either. The point is to have the choice.

What other platform(s) offer such a choice? None. Because they are centralized by design. Yes, the majority of people "would ALL have to move in order to bypass the centralized censorship" but it is EXCEEDINGLY easy it is to do that. Switching "AppViews" is swapping one app download for another

Migrating an account off bsky.social to e.g. blacksky.community takes <30* minutes for most and there's 3 nice options to do it: pdsmoover.com move.eurosky.tech move.blacksky.community *I just migrated from selfhosted.social to aster.id, so 30 minutes was bc I was teaching people while migrating
