How about kick them off the platform? Make a big deal about doing it. Tell them to fuck off. Stop tolerating intolerance. I don’t know how blue sky works, but surely there is a way to kick them off of the platform.

Bsky is actually quite centralized. Bluesky the company owns the only full-network indexer (I think they call it a "relay" or something), which collects posts from all other servers and allows those posts to be rendered by various apps (e.g. bsky.app, but all other frontends use the same indexer). They could just ban them at indexer level.

But even that is moot, because they are letting them host their account on a server Bluesky the company owns, bsky.social.

There's another relay: https://atproto.africa/ .

Relays don't index posts, they collect them from different servers, and provide a "firehouse" of events.

You can crawl pdses directly, akin to the fediverse. AppViewLite does this (and is lightweight enough to run on a phone).

You don't need a relay or appview with https://reddwarf.app/ .

The fediverse also has relays.

Nah tolerating intolerance has been working out well so far. I mean "free speech" is worth literally any price, and further, we should never pressure private companies to align with common morality. That's just censorship!!

HUGE /s, and thank you for an actually sane take ITT.
