Totally agree. I used to use it for weather, news, interesting things, market color, and sports. Now I get bums fighting and maga crap. It’s really terrible. It was a tool for me back in the day.

Lord of the Flies…

Absolutely my thought as well. It sounds like the end of the movie when all hell breaks loose on Gary Oldman. Love that movie!

Didn't he QB the NY Giants?

Loved that movie. Makes me think of the book banning they’ve been doing.

I loved it!

I took a peek last week on my husband’s account. There were few people fact checking the MAGA elected GOP.

I refuse to go there anymore.
There's a couple of people I miss. I wish they would come here.

I noticed that there's some accounts that're staying there because of the "low engagement" here. But we're all relatively new here and it takes a minute for all of that to catch on.

That's my question: Are pro-democracy accounts staying there solely because of the income they earn from engagement?

Because whatever we thought the benefits were of fighting with the trolls and battling misinformation/propaganda on Twitter were clearly ineffective in terms of winning the election.

I don't know. I think some are "comfortable", not wanting to give up their following.

If it's got to do with money, then fuck that.
That at least makes the picture a little clearer anyway.

It’s a horrible place, very demoralising The lunatics have taken over the asylum. A bit c like when all the ills of the world are let out of the Ark of the covenant in the Indiana Jones Movie.

Are you going there for information or just to laugh at the dunderheads? Or both?

Be safe there!

ourshallowstate.bsky.social•166 days ago

Curiosity, and I do still post there, though not nearly as often as here and only dupes of what I post here first.

blackcat1111.bsky.social•166 days ago

Excellent ✔️ just like a curious cat would do, my friend!

Don't totally abandon it. To know ones foe is important.

I see no reason to enter a hellscape that didn't serve in any way to even mitigate, let alone stop, Trump from winning the election.

Like seriously, what's the point?
