Reddit fears retribution, especially the fiscal kind.

The fediverse is not immune to bullying by powerful people, but it's much more of a pain as we more resemble a hydra.

True, Felker-Martin, DC comic author, was suspended from bluesky after all for being less than diplomatic with Kirk's death.

Bluesky is not the Fediverse.

Bluesky is singly controlled by one for-profit corporation, and in no meaningful way represents a decentralized hydra the way thay the Fediverse does.

BlueSky is liberal and leftist flavored/brand Twitter, brought to you by Jack Dorsey, headquartered in Seattle.

The Fediverse is actually meaningfully decentralized in practice, brought to you by a bunch of wierdo random coder people you've probably never heard of, a good number of them ardent communists, running and developing everything mostly entirely for free, headquartered nowhere and/or everywhere.

judging by how fast they quashed the luigi shootings in dec, it was pretty telling.
