The social networking site is facing criticism for blocking access to the site, which identifies thousands of ICE agents and other employees working for Homeland Security.

I understand where they’re coming from because they shouldn’t pick-and-choose who gets doxxed, the info in the leak hasn’t been vetted it could contain random innocents, if violence happens and someone was enabled by info on their platform they could be held liable etc. etc. Like I get it, I do, and fuck off for censoring on the side of the fash, but at the dame time I get the feeling they might not be absolutely 100% sincere in removing this from their platform since the block message leaves the URL on it’s own line as easily copied text…
Oh my God, they put the URL on the page. Sharing a screenshot of it is totally fair game, and still spreads the URL, while giving you the plausible deniability of only posting it to criticize Bluesky.
Still, fuck Bluesky for this. I told people that joining “Twitter cloned by cryptobros” was a bad idea, and they didn’t listen.
Given the content in question, it could be anything from a DDOS to an old-fashioned hug of death to fascists peeing on the server rack. It was up earlier, at least. Might just spin up a VPN…

Maybe this is their way of malicious compliance.
Website doesn’t even work for me just typing it in now. I wonder if DNS providers are blocking it or whether their infrastructure got taken down
Yesterday I was able to access it, then I wasn’t, then I was. Feels like it was overloaded.
