Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.
While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
With legal challenges to this law pending, we cannot justify building the expensive required infrastructure.

@Yehuda other people can certainly provide that access even better than fediverse would be able to respond to the same situation.
On this platform instances could block the state, but on BlueSky individuals could choose to posts into the state without relying on instances choosing to do so.
Bluesky is better in these sort of contacts than fediverse.
