Have there been any statements from fediverse admins on how they'd handle certain people, organizations, or government agencies that have generated controversy on Bluesky in the past, or, say, today?

@stefan on a more personal level I remember not long after I joined seeing a post of Eugen Rothko's giving a super blunt response to someone trying to use the "being a horrible racist is my right - you're stifling my freedom of speech".

Paraphrasing, his response was a clear "not round here it ain't pal, out you go".

In some ways, it was not that massive a deal, but at the same time it was like "okay, this really isn't the other place"

@thisoccasionalsociety Yes, I remember that! It was a 10/10 reply, no notes.

Still, I don't recall seeing admins of any of the larger servers say: Yeah, we'd automatically ban [well-known transphobe, US regime official, etc] if they ever signed up.

@prism The Bluesky team has apparently verified the official ICE account. They've done that for other US government-related accounts in the past.

And people have complained about Bluesky not suspending certain controversial people, see eg.: https://www.change.org/p/bluesky-must-enforce-its-community-guidelines-equally

Just wondering how fediverse admins would handle some of these situations.
