That’s the sentence I’m referencing. I understand how Mastodon works theoretically, but I have no idea why Gab was partially excluded. I haven’t been on Mastodon in years.

This apparently plays into why OP thinks Bluesky is a dead end, so.

I see. So Bluesky is going to fail because people can’t say slurs on it.

Would’ve been a lot easier if OP had just opened with that.
