I’m not very active on Mastodon, but saw this post - browsing the bluesky hashtag for a bit afterwards did not really give me much info. I can definitely imagine enshittification happening there, but what is causing the current drama in particular?

ANSWER: some people value the ability to act online without having their activities traced back to them. there are many different reasons that people may want to do this - and some are bad. this initiative seeks to fight the bad ones without any consideration to any of the other ones. a lot of people online do not want to be tracked in any way that could identify them. this change oversteps some peoples’ boundaries.
Which initiative?
sorry, was probably an odd-sounding word to use here. synonymous with “decision” here.
I don’t want my activities traced back to me, but given how fucky the world has become since Internet went mainstream I’d be willing to give that up.
That’s why I particularly hate active bigots. Like dude shut up I love free speech, keep this shit up and you’ll ruin it for the rest of us.
yeah, yikes, uh, and no.
regarding the “no” part: who are you to say?
Its already started. Remember the “you get arrested just for posting on Facebook now” business?

“you get arrested just for posting on Facebook now” is a funny way of saying “you got arrested for attempting to incite a riot”
