For at least the second time, a #Bluesky user caught a federal criminal case - this time for threats against ICE and Tom Homan. There are screenshots if you want to see which user.

To kind of summarize some of the recent #Bluesky drama. Yesterday Bluesky changed their Terms of Service to require binding arbitration. Users are unhappy, but there's nothing they can do about it because Bluesky is not decentralized and there is no place they can go. Today, Bluesky banned a user for wishing ill of J.K. Rowling for her anti-trans hate. Users are very unhappy, but there's nothing they can do about it because Bluesky is not decentralized and there is no place they can go.
Get it?

It means they are evil and we should block them better and ask people stop posting links to it, tell people to get off it.
Get the hell off bluesky, its evil.
Evil is going down. Stop participating.
Why the reliably wonderful @pluralistic thinks that although #Bluesky improves in many important ways over legacy social media, he won't be joining the service.
TLDR: It's Bluesky's "very bad" #ToS.
