You’re only making one person look silly, and it’s not them.

I’ve never been one to outright support vigilante justice on account of believing that everyone ought to face the same trials and go through the same systems to ensure justice.

I’m not an idiot, though, and I realize a system where our rich are held accountable to the same degree as our poor is incredibly unrealistic/borderline impossible.

“When peace is impossible, violence is inevitable.” Paraphrasing, but given the system we find ourselves in, this was just a matter of time.

I don’t really get all the pessimism. Even if folks are right in saying there’ll be a bait and switch, this is people moving to a new platform en masse. If Bluesky goes to shit there’s more reason to believe users would just move again.

In the meantime, as members of the fediverse, we should be using Bluesky being “decentralized” as a way to ease people into actually decentralized platforms.

I mean, yes? Although generally speaking, the word execution is reserved for cases where they’ve been deemed to deserve it.

For example, most of the executions ordered during the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution were simply murders of people who were even suspected of dissent.
