Bluesky has gained a million new users in the last three days.
The platform posted about the milestone this afternoon, which it crossed after Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered a ban on Elon Musk’s X yesterday as part of an ongoing feud with the platform.
Apparently, enough are headed to Bluesky to drive its iOS app to the top of the Brazilian App Store, as TechCrunch writes.
Downloaded it. Signed up. Replied to a post about rechargeable batteries. Account got restricted. Left.
Restricted to the whole site or just that user? The user tools are pretty powerful on their own.
Not sure what I got blocked from. Might poke around later and see. Guess I upset a bot by using a colon or something.
Maybe the phrase “white ones are better” triggered some moderation bot?
Yeah this 100%.
Good point!
I feel so sorry for you about this WTF but I can’t stop laughing!
and
don’t go particularly well with automated detection and moderation tools.
Well, everybody knows Black Eneloop Batteries’ Lives Matter!
