Bluesky says it would block access to its service in the state of Mississippi, rather than comply with the new age verification law.

        If you stay in Mississippi past the moment that you realize you live in Mississippi you get what you deserve. I’m surprised animals and insects are still willing to live there.

      What are they gonna do? Start fining the owners of the instances……

      Decentralised doesn’t mean “no one in charge” - it means lots of people in charge of lots of parts. The fediverse would be the easiest social media network to bend to the governments will because it’s not billion dollar companies running it, and just the threat of fines or a lawsuit will make any instance owner shit their pants.

        Not if the instance isn’t subject to their jurisdiction.

                By “a lot” you literally mean one when responding to someone trying to “gotcha” me yesterday hahaha.

                Quick questions - do you think vaccines should be mandatory? What should the punishment be for not getting them? Which ones are mandatory?

                What other things with your body does the government get control of? Should the government be able to mandate abortions if, say, you already have 1 child and they want to implement a 1 child only policy?

                  Alternatively, you can use an app like Voyager which has a getting feature.

                  It’s easy knowing not to bother engaging with someone who has “Asshole” next to their name in red.

              Thanks for letting me know this - I was reading about piefed and considering signing up to give it a go. Now that I know it’s an echo chamber ultra pro censorship thing I’ll avoid it like the plague it is :)

        It’s like that time they tried to ban torrent sites, sure a few will fall, however more or more will rise up.

        Why is that though, are other US states in any way bound by the laws of Mississippi? They have no representation in MS.
