Is there an official Bluesky or Mastodon? Especially after the Nitter cease-and-desist, I have run out of patience for Musk's propaganda machine.

I know there are HN bots pulling stories to Mastodon but I don't think there's an official instance.

IMO there's a lot more propaganda here. Bluesky is completely mental. People crucified X for occasional swastika "art", while Blusky openly promotes communist symbolism that is illegal in good chunk in Europe. Insane.

  I don't use Bluesky much, but the software at least is not user-hostile like X.com. I can view threads/posts without logging in, or use alternative clients that support the AT Protocol. As a sidenote, X is rightfully crucified for blatant anti-semitism and Hitler worship all over the site, complemented by Musk's own ridiculous anti-semitic dogwhistling and retweeting misinformation and conspiracy theories. The site is bottom of the barrel /pol/-tier trash. I literally searched "Hitler" seconds ago, and found a thread today full of people adoring him. https://x.com/GrossAdmiral_/status/2092000855750832572 https://x.com/GrossAdmiral_/status/2092000855750832572 https://x.com/truthtroll_X/status/1840440966668579257 https://x.com/truthtroll_X/status/1840440966668579257 https://www.reddit.com/r/GetNoted/comments/1esj9uf/i_dont_think_this_needs_much_explaination/ https://www.reddit.com/r/GetNoted/comments/1esj9uf/i_dont_th... https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/nov/16/elon-musk-antisemitic-tweet-adl https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/nov/16/elon-musk...

    Sibling comment is excellent example. Possibly 1% of truth, completely irrelevant links, formatted as if it's a banger game-over response.

      I’m asking what you mean by “Bluesky openly promotes communist symbolism”

      Are you referring to my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49454431 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49454431? Can you explain how I'm promoting communist symbolism or crucifying innocent folks for "swastika art"? What part or what did I suggest was not truthful?
