From what I have seen using Bluesky this isn't true at all. It's brutally censored, even more than Twitter was in 2021. Or are there other relays and appviews I can use that aren't? Is there a comprehensive list of Bluesky infrastructure that isn't run by Bluesky themselves (excluding a PDS)? Or is it totally centralized for now?

Sall Grover is the creator of a woman-only social app in Australia that was taken to court over that sex exclusivity. Posted a few controversial statements to test the atmosphere and this is the result.

Judging purely from those Tweets, Sall is a troll who was correctly booted off a platform that is trying to improve the quality of discussions.

She posted a factual statement to test the waters and was instantly censored for it.

Doesn't seem factual to me. Smells like a troll or flamebait. Deserves to be moderated into the ground.

Why doesn't it seem factual to you?
