Honestly that's a pretty good endorsement for bsky.

[–] Lauchs 50 points 1 month ago

That was my first thought.

It's as if a registered sex offender stepped into a kindergarten with a 24-pack of kid-sized handcuffs and a bucket of lube, got immediately kicked out and complained that he was "simply existing". We all know why he came here for. We don't have to wait until he does it.

I don't understand all this prejudice about -10th - 7th Century Fairy Story Specialists...

Calm down Puffy Daddy/RKelly.

Sure you were Laura, you fucking lying sack of gerbil vomit. Just like somebody slashed your tires, huh?

[–] tomatolung 14 points 1 month ago

Gerbil vomit... ROFL She does invoke the passion for new descriptive expletives.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 5 points 1 month ago

She has tires? Twenty bucks is twenty bucks dude

That definitely never happens on Twitter. Nope…

[–] Diplomjodler3 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well no, it doesn't happen to you when you're a far right nutjob.

[–] Lauchs 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

From my limited reading on the matter, it seems the far right nut jobs are angry about being censored on twitter too.

[–] whostosay 34 points 1 month ago (2 children)

They're not mad about the censorship though. They're mad that they are being censored. They wouldn't give a single fuck if it aligned with what they deem okay.

“Censorship for thee but not for me”

[–] whostosay 9 points 1 month ago

It should be their slogan at this point. And they would eat it up too, publicly. Not shaming people publicly for being shitty to everyone backfired on us badly.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Hate to point this out, but that's exactly what just happened on bluesky in the original post.

[–] whostosay 8 points 1 month ago

If I'm not mistaken, Laura got her limelight from spreading hate, misinformation, and cozying up to Nazis. What she was going to do is very predictable.

[–] brucethemoose 1 points 1 month ago

This is true.

[–] Diplomjodler3 8 points 1 month ago

Yeah but those morons are always angry about something.

[–] Doolbs 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wonder if she was actually banned. It's pretty easy to block people on Bluesky; so maybe everybody just blocked her.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil 38 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I wonder if she was actually banned.

I guarantee she was not. Loomer is a notorious bullshit artist and serial liar. Regardless, it reminds me of the evergreen XKCD quip.

I can't remember where I heard this, but someone once said that defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; you're saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it's not literally illegal to express.

BREAKING:

I have just been KILLED in a VIDEO GAME.

I LITERALLY started playing 5 MINUTES AGO and didn’t even talk in chat.

I have been VIOLATED for SIMPLY EXISTING.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Me playing League of Legends

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

The bitch probably just forgot her password.

I doubt they were banned for doing nothing on blu sky, if it was Instagram I would believe it.

Source? I can't seem to find anything about this tweet and I found this article from the Daily Dot. https://www.dailydot.com/debug/bluesky-ban-laura-loomer-catturd-marjorie-taylor-greene-debunk/

Here is the tweet via an alternative xitter frontend: https://xcancel.com/LauraLoomer/status/1873538332308992320#m

Edit: if you want to torture yourself with the real xitter website, just click on the twitter birdy logo on top right after opening the above link.

Edit 2: wanted to clarify that I can't confirm whether she is lying about the ban or not. Just wanted to link the actual tweet.
