    Imagine how gay people felt trying to get married until just a few years ago.

    Banned for simply existing.

    How about trans people trying to travel into or out of a country. Or applying for a job and having to submit their deadname and their birth sex revealing their medical history. Or getting pulled over and getting interrogated over their ID. Or trying to take a leak while at the office or a restaurant and being told they have to leave.

    Banned for simply existing.

    How about being born as a visible minority and getting stopped and frisked just for being in public.

    Banned for simply existing.

    But not being on Bluesky? That’s taking things too far!

        I have no idea what all the effects of that executive order are, but yeah I could see that being the case now in a lot of places.

        Marriage affects your taxes, your ability to buy in a house as a couple, adoption, your will/estate, being in the hospital… A lot of important things.

        It’s really basic human rights.

    Loomer finally gets to feel what its like to be the people she vehemently discrimates against, yet I get a feeling she won’t learn a damned thing from that.

    I’m from under a rock or maybe the wrong side the pond. Who’s this? Some conservative nutjob with too much of a podium?

          If I remember correctly this person was too nutty even for Marjorie Taylor Greene. I’m not from the US but these crazies have made it into international news enough times that I know who they are.

      Trump’s right hand woman, in a sense. And that hand has definitely gone places…

      Stop making centralized websites sound so good… banning known harassers and grifters before they can hurt people.

      Also, you’d see the exact same complaining if this had been a lemmy.world account. Nothing stopping her from making her own instance, but she won’t because she doesn’t understand how any of that works and it’s too much effort when she can just complain about being censored for her beliefs (to harass minorities or whatever).

      The centralized part of Bluesky is the node infrastructure that connects all the instances together. As I understand it, anybody can start their own instance, but they all run through Bluesky’s lemmy.world equivalent. I’ve seen plenty of people from other instances, but it seems like just a way to host your account off the main platform as far as I can tell from using the official app.

      If you don’t like it, just use the at proto protocol and make your own app.

      Aside from that, it wasn’t even her Main account that was banned. She was making multiple accounts,

      And it was one of her sock puppet accounts that was banned.

      Of course, after they realized she was making sock puppet accounts, they banned the main one also.

    Reminds me of how nick fuentes got banned as soon as he made a rednote account.

    I had no idea of how this person is, so I skimmed the Wikipedia page on her.

    She seems like a thoroughly unlikable person, I am sad that I now know that she exists

      I apologize for brining her up… The post and comments were worthy of this sub so I wanted to post. But again, I’m so sorry
