Step 1: Elon takes over Twitter, unbans and amplifies the worst white nationalist posters, methodically turns it into a right wing echo chamber.
Step 2: Users who aren’t white nationalists or MAGA extremists leave for Bluesky en masse.
Step 3: op-ed columnists fret, “is Bluesky an echo chamber?”

But that seems more like an Elon problem than a Bluesky problem, y’know?
I nearly died as a result.
Usually around that level where you had to go through an underwater cave before you ran out of air.
It's not an echo chamber and it's also not a fascist recruiting ground.
Now, back to disagreeing about coddle.
and i also saw a photo of two giant bees painted on a blue wall. one said: "When we go, we're taking you all with us."
i believe it. and i believe it meant ALL of EVERYTHING.
so sad to contemplate. 🐝
lol
The data shows she lost bc of the economy. The reason why people saw it that way was because the Democratic party has falsely portrayed themselves as the party of the people for decades while the OPP turned to populism.
EVERY EXPERT has stated how disastrous for the U.S. that the orange child-raping fascist/felon's economic policies will be.
It WASN'T the economy, stupid. It was the stupid.
I agree with some of what you said,but I don't believe it is addressing many of the core issues that people have with our system, holistically.
We have been the victims of THE largest psy-op in the history of the world. Our realities have been flipped upside-down.
The core issue with our system is a fundamental unfairness.
Here's how it works: https://www.rand.org/pubs/perspectives/PE198.html
I feel like we need to retake it ourselves. We need to run for local office, get involved, and do the saving ourselves.
It's no secret that more and more people are losing faith in the Democratic Party actually putting up a fight, much less caring about the issues when they benefit directly from the status quo.
The idea that doing good work and letting it speak for itself clearly isn’t realistic at the moment, but I don’t necessarily have a better suggestion
Generalization of people like "red rose Twitter" is incredibly dehumanizing and doesn't have a place on this platform.
You want to talk to me, talk to me as a person.
In UK that led to labor, in my country (NL) it led to a very right wing government.
Then came 2016 where Trump ran as a fake right-leaning populist and Bernie ran as a true left-leaning populist. The Republicans capitalized on it while the Democrats demonized it.
And here we are. People are sick of traditional politics.
Dems didn't demonize Bernie, they didn't vote for him. DWS called his campaign manager an asshole in a private email & *she* was demonized
Dems are in for a #FAFO no less than the GOP.

In UK, Labour won in part due to tactical voting & people being sick of Tory corruption. In NZ, IDU installed one of their own. When enough people fall for slogans and lies, democracy dies. Canada is their next target
The U.K. got The Brexit (populism) before Labour.
Add the hate toward a black woman.
Therein lies a huge messaging and strategy problem.
Once you're tired and jaded like that? It's easy to fall prey to propaganda.
The Democrats' messaging cost them the win.
Mind explaining?
kind of like a free ride when you’ve already paid
Harris lost because of the "Glass Cliff".
Please elucidate.
It’s a truly repugnant country these days.
Land of opportunity my ass.
thanks for the insight into me internet stranger

The right-wing censors the left as well. Type "cis" in twitter
There's a difference between engaging with people in actual discussion, and engaging with people who are just slinging cesspool comments everywhere.
1. She was black
2. She was female
3. Tried to win Republican votes by paling around with Cheney, winning 0 R votes, but costing her D votes.
Be sure to account for:
1. Biden delay
2. Racism had ppl ready to buy: she's dumb and a cOmMuniSt
3. Sexism had ppl ready to buy: she haS nO pOliCieS and iT's wOrd sAlAd
4. Media sane-wash of Trump gibberish, nonstop lies
5. Lack of economic literacy
6. Russian psy-op
So: What else?
If so, I'll block and move on
That is, of course, correct and obvious except for bad faith sophysts
Plus, really interesting people over here.
They don't care about free speech if professors or anyone not conservative is censored or discriminated against
Even FIRE, which is supposed to solely care about free speech on campuses
Because not everyone is so dumb as to be believe everything they're being bombarded with.
October 8: bluesky users posts about why israel deserved it
October 9: israel attacks. Bluesky leftists call it genocide because blood libel. Stay curiously silent about the hamas rape victims
13 months layer: nazi bad?
Step 6: ???
Or
But, at a certain point, performance takes over, & that's when reality matters.
Voters on Trump’s “deport list” voted for him, so logic has left the electorate.
What could possibly be lost by sharing truth? There hasn’t been “healthy debate” on Twitter in years.

Are we in a natural migration or are we being herded? I’m suspicious with the timing with X having served its purpose.
Do we need a neo-Nazi’s opinion on everything to constitute balance??
Associating with people who think like you do and share your values is an echo chamber.
Enough with the echo chamber nonsense.
They won't get any Truth in the Social interactions, but they can get all the idiocy pumped directly to them.
Like bitch there is a reason no one wants to go there lol.
like they aren't gonna end up dead too??
But Elon turned Twitter into a Nazi bar, and a whole bunch of us decided to leave. That’s all it is.
You know... make some actual friends as well as being in the community I came from :)
Blocking is easy.
I can deal w ppl who refuse to understand flat taxes are regressive. They're going to find out when these flat tarrifs on everything kick in.
My life isn't worth giving a screaming incel a second of my time.
it's like "why did I ever tolerate any of this"
But rage bait profiteering gonna rage bait profiteer. 🤷♀️
Voters stay home” without referring back to 1)
They're having a bit of a Streisand effect there, I rather think, because most people just never heard of this place at all.
So, let the dumbass pundit takes roll, I say. Yes, yes, we are all individuals (I'm not), come here and try the crunchy granola, on the house.
Elon just said 'hold my beer' tho, give him time. I believe in him. Someday, he could be the worst.
Fascism requires the conjuring of an enemy.
Maga cannot exist without demonizing a group and engaging in confrontations.
This particular nomenclature was settled a long time ago, and apparently isn’t up for discussion…
Apparently Post and Repost didn’t make the cut, damn kids.
Our echo chamber is filled with science, reason, and art.
Will we hear a lot of conservative voices here? No. But those voices tend to be the most vile people in existence so it’s pretty nice.
It's the equivalent of the Total Perspective Vortex in Zarniwoop's pocket universe that makes Zaphod say “It just told me what I knew all the time: I’m a really great guy!”

I call it "My stupid Elon" a Putin Masterpiece!
PS: If anybody has better text ideas, I'm open for all suggestions and happy to improve! thx.
Also, from some white "independent" men I've seen here & there: No, I'm not going. I don't need a safe space!
While the rage bait profiteering of white incel open season is on X to anyone not a white incel.
W/ rapes every 67 seconds in the US.
Yeah, I'll take a safe space. Thanks.
The correct response is: "No, but Twitter is, and also it's effectively an online Nazi rally."
[Echo chamber] is not surrounding yourself with people who have similar values. An echo chamber is when a person willing refuses to know what’s going on with differing sides
Not the same thing
QANON btw more maga politicians practice 😳
