Bluesky has blocklists out of the box. You can block hate speech and other problematic content. No such feature in the other socials. Open the feed, you could see toxic content from an account you never followed thanks to the algorithm...

I can imagine if it was a person of colour driving the "stolen" car, their experience with the police would likely be quite different to that of a white person.

A lot of people in western countries are unaware of how bad corruption is in the developing world. It's not uncommon for something like 80% of government officials of all types to be corrupt, compared to under 5-10% in the west. Go to
