Bluesky's nazi problem, an occasionally updated thread:

On 13 August 2026, Ukraine repatriated the remains of Yevhen Konovalets, a prominent fascist and the first leader of the OUN, with state honors. Ukrainian neo-nazis gave him a torchlight memorial the following night. How did bluesky react? Predictably.

Western-backed newspaper "The Kyiv Independent" only mentions that Konovalets "devoted his life to the cause of Ukraine's independence" and was later assassinated. The linked articles does not mention his fascist tendencies or his overt xenophobia. archive.ph/PISN1

130 people would "like" the post, including a number of "anti-fascist" bluesky users. Nothing says "anti-fascism" like torchlit memorials to dead nazis, right? timhamick.bsky.social iannz.bsky.social upbeachbum.bsky.social gnbrockway.bsky.social archive.ph/m6O5x
