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?

Yeah, I honestly have no idea. Probably a mix of both.
If people are silenced from sharing their stories because they also ask for aid this seems potentially bad. It’s also unfortunate that it’s hard to say what has really gone down since the record is deleted, though it’s probably available somewhere online.
In either case I think it illustrates quite clearly the advantages of true decentralization for censorship resistance. What is allowed or not on Bluesky is decided by a tiny board of Americans, with no meaningful way of bypassing their moderation decisions.
