Bluesky has just started officially hosting and verifying dozens of accounts from Trump's regime including the Whitehouse, Homeland Security / ICE, the Department of War etc (https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/115393404732174116). *All* of these accounts are spreading bigotry, hatred and dangerous lies about vulnerable groups. It is NOT enough to just "block and forget", here's why: https://social.chinwag.org/@FediThing/112581263140051643 This is a 1930s moment, and #Bluesky is choosing to host vile hatred. It is going down the same path as Twitter/X.

⚠️ If you see a post or DM saying "your account is currently suspended for verification purposes", do NOT click on the link. It is a scam. Fediverse servers do not ask people to verify their identity. There is an optional self-verification system available, but that's just for those who want to use it. If you are in ANY doubt about ANY official-looking message, contact your own server's admin directly using their public email address on your server's website's "About" page.
