Bluesky has storm clouds gathering

I think it's a good thing they fled X.

There is tension between not censoring and offering a level platform for blatant lies. The idea of allowing equal footing for lies is why we have a distrust of science, medicine, vaccines and the government. Should we censor pedophiliacs? Should Nambla have equal access to the news?
People that watch lies on a daily basis will see them as truth and that is why Fox paid almost a billion to the organization they constantly lied about. Fox viewers still believe the election lies they were told, even after Fox admitted in court that they were institutionally lying,
Musk bought Twitter so the lies would again have equal access. it was a crappy business decision. He paid double and has lost a ton of money. He did it to help the election of Trump. A half billion here or there means nothing to him. He wants his taxes to stay at zero.

I prefer to exercise my own judgement. I don't fear words. Falsehoods aren't harming me.
 

"PRO TIP: MAGAts have figured out that, after many of us left Twitter, that they really have no purpose in life without being able to troll us. Don't let anyone shame you into thinking that it's somehow wrong or cowardly to BLOCK these assholes. BlueSky is OUR good place. Block those dumb fuckers." 🤩​

Thanks for proving the point.

Sad little snowflakes. Not only they demand being "protected" for words on a screen, they insist that their bias be extended to everyone else, because they don't believe people have the right or ability to exercise good judgment.
 

Bluesky has 'the juice' — but it still doesn't have the normies​


  • Bluesky says it now has around 20 million users — and it's become a pretty lively site.
  • It has lots of pundits and people talking about the election, but does it have enough regular people?
  • Bluesky doesn't have verification in the same way X or Threads does.

From what I can tell, the users who've been joining Bluesky en masse recently are members of the big blob of liberal-to-left-wing journalists, academics, lawyers, and tech workers--politically engaged email-job types--who were early Twitter adopters and whose compulsive use of the site over the years was an important force in shaping its culture and norms. (Some of those users have been on the site for a while, valiantly attempting to change Bluesky's culture from "toxically wack" to "tolerably wack.")

This group — people who post a lot, in real time, is what some people are calling "the juice" — the sign of an active platform.

Bluesky is still missing that base layer of regular people.
