Fact-checking is not censorship.
Requesting evidence is not censorship.
Refuting falsehoods is not censorship.
Stopping a lie from travelling halfway round the world before the truth has got its boots on is not censorship.
But Zuckerberg's grovelling to Trump will sure as hell lead to censorship.

imo it's a legit scandal how much legacy social sites are suppressing link content
i think we all knew that they were doing it, but i didn't realize that news orgs & creators would get over an *order of magnitude* better engagement over here

We could go on about how we welcome publishers, we don't demote links, we encourage independent developers to build apps and extensions on top of Bluesky's network.... but instead, we'll show you.

Today we look at celebs who also published research. Naturally a large chunk of the attention these items receive is related to the fame of their authors.
Hence we will be accusing every single one of these stars of gaming their Altmetric Attention Score.

One of my favourite authors and columnists, George Monbiot, has created an interesting thread (pun intended) on why he chose BlueSky as his Twitter replacement. Those considering Threads for open discourse should first scrutinise its meddling with political content and suspensions of journalists.
