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.

"censorship is fine as long as it's happening to people I don't agree with"

Generally speaking, in real life, people tend to get kicked out of places for being bigots.

There's nothing at all bigoted about pointing out that a man is a man. You just don't like this fact, so you've decided to label it as bigotry.

Do you think that there are only two combinations of chromosomes in humans? XX and XY?

I have studied sex chromosome aneuploidies in humans, so no, I don't think that.

Why do you ask?
