  • What do you mean? Mayoral elections are partisan, why wouldn't it be relevant?

  • The NYTimes has its problems but Bouie always has a good take.

  • But of course he can only do so on his blog after having been forced out of the Times for exactly this kind of truthtelling.

  • Terminal means fatal, hopefully that's not a certainty yet.

  • Yeah too bad they didn't get into it earlier, but it has hit a critical mass of users and attention lately.

  • Bluesky: eXodus continues as TERFS lose their brain-rotted minds

    Jump

  • The reason people post on these sites is to make themselves heard I guess. You just have to ignore or block your way into the level of interaction you're comfortable with.

  • Russian fascist owned? What are you talking about?

  • These parts:

    Bluesky can fuck right off as well. I tried it to see if it was any different than Twitter but I had to nope out after 10 minutes.

    I've never understood the whole Twitter formula anyways. Scroll through endless ramblings of people I don't care about? No thanks.

    There are far better places to stay informed about certain topics or get in touch with people you know.

  • Bluesky feels more like old Twitter than X does

    Jump

  • Yeah X is a big downgrade

  • Sure the billionaire buying stuff thing happens, but a Nazi billionaire?

    Jump

  • To be fair Musk buying twitter and turning it into a Nazi propaganda site was kind of flukey.

  • Interesting. As with any problematic group that makes the transition it's a bit annoying to have to deal with them on the new platform, but they shouldn't be banned and them moving is a great sign that bluesky has the juice.

  • Meaning like the rationalist / effective altruism guys? Would have thought they'd be prone to sticking with Musk

  • Twitter is dead. Long live BlueSky.

    Jump

  • Not every social media format is for everyone, no need to be hostile about it. I just can't bring myself to engage with TikTok and Reels and such, but other people really like them and why would that be a problem for me?

  • Twitter sees largest user exodus since Musk takeover

    Jump

  • Eh idk, Elon boosting right-wing content doesn't mean that nobody was seeing people's anti-Trump posts on there, much less that they did any harm.

  • Bluesky feels more like old Twitter than X does

    Jump

  • The way Mastodon is broken up into little communities such that it's hard for anything to go viral and you can't easily search for everything being said about a topic kills a lot of the value of old-twitter. Comes from Mastodon having been created as a twitter alternative with a different philosophy back in the old twitter days, while bluesky is more a reaction to Musk twitter used by people who didn't have a problem with the old version.

    Jump

  • I'd be happy enough if it just ended up replicating pre-Musk twitter - that was a cool website! And in practice as you say with the federated decentralized aspect and a core userbase of anti-fascists it will likely be even better.
