Blocked from Bluesky (hopefully temporarily)
4 weeks ago
Thanks to a stupid and unconstitutional law made by my state, my IP is now blocked from BlueSky. B'sky had been my social media platform of choice due to its lack of Nazis, and I had been steadily transferring most of my online activity over there, so to say that this is an unwelcome development would be an understatement.
It's my hope that, either through the law being declared unconstitutional or me managing to get a VPN set up, that I will eventually get back on the site. But for now I'm blocked, and I can't even put up a post explaining the situation. I've really tried to be a force for positivity over there, and tried to boost folks who my reach could help.
This is why I urged you all to vote blue 10 months ago, folks. The censorship is coming for us all, and you can't even be sure where you stand from one moment to the next.

On the good side, we're 1/3 of the way to the most important Midterm elections in American history. Hang in there, man!
I appreciate your optimism about the election, but I am in a pessimistic mood. I'm sick of every election being the most important election in history, and I have a hard time believing that the folks in power will ever allow a free or fair election again.
Kind of in a dark place right now, NGL.
I'm guessing your state is the one with the name kids use as an approximation of counting seconds?
It’s supposed to be an access point, a workaround. I hope it helps!
