Especially when they promote and use it out of “moral motivation” to “fight against twitter/big tech”. You’re still using a platform owned by one company. They’re not really decentralized. There’s nothing stopping them to go down the same path twitter did. They’re funded by some questionable investors… Or, to quote something I recently read: “BlueSky is decentralized in the same way Total Energies is a green company.”
Fight big tech, yes, but know which platforms to use. And to counter all “but Mastodon etc. are boring”: the more people making the shift to the fediverse, the less boring it gets.
Edit to add: “shame” might be a heavy choice of words, but I don’t know another term haha (English not a first language and all that)
I’m not shaming anyone for their political beliefs. Ever.
It’s your business. If you attempt to make it my business, I’ll politely move on. If you feel the need to dictate to me your values, I’ll listen.
Do not take my listening as a form of agreement.
Are you an American? Then we have at least ONE thing in common. If the fact you are an American somehow makes you feel guilty or ashamed, maybe keep that to yourself.
Or share those feelings with like minded individuals.
Don’t assume the entire country agrees with that.
Break it down to the basics. Wish your fellow man/woman the best.
