I'm not talking about any one post or user. I went through a number of posts (the majority of which are unrelated / irrelevant) to uncover the phenomena.

I've been critical of Bluesky's (ridiculously tiny) character limit for some time, and I've commented on how context collapse was an issue on Twitter (under the previous management).

Concerningly, Bluesky's ultra tiny character limit seems to contribute to context collapse where people are accused of being child predators. #FreeSpeech

Just sorting out the wording.

"I think freedom of expression is like oxygen, more or less like the air we breathe. There is nothing about being human that doesn’t involve expression, just like drawing breath. Even beyond just being a right, it’s an intrinsic part of being human. It’s embedded in us from the start."
Good way of putting it.
