I get the pushback to Bluesky in that it further bifurcates our media ecosystem. But at this point, Twitter’s content moderation is so nonexistent and its verified users so extreme that the choice becomes either move away from Twitter or be subjected to straight up 4chan nazi bile on a daily basis.

Just a thought.
We're well past the point of where it is self-harm to keep engaging with these bad actors.
This is a worse echo chamber of soft ego maniacs. There is only 1 discord allowed. Extreme left.
- Algorithm pushes Elon’s right-wing propaganda tweets
- Feed prioritizes outrage engagement
- Dropship scams
- Endless Cheech and Chong Gummies ads
- Bots galore
'How to Destroy a Social Community by Encouraging Hate.'
Turns out, letting chaos reign isn’t a growth strategy, it’s a user exodus waiting to happen.
When your platform thrives on anger, it’s only a matter of time before everyone’s too mad to stick around.
There's not much value anymore and the Maga abusers who keep it up are accelerating the demise of it all.
(BlueSky, I don’t need a hot reply filter. I need a frackin’ edit button! 😂)
Today's STORYLINE; #musk lost $30b of $44b paid for #Twitter now its down the shitter
About $3 to you & I
PUNCHLINE; Musk buys #WhiteHouse & #US for 4yrs for $3
We take more and more from him. Eventually maybe it will hurt.
Spent way too much time deleting them.
Elon promised to fix it and they only got worse.
It’s NOT an echo chamber.
And framing it as such is a tell.
The divisiveness was created by whoever is behind the bots, trolls etc. They cause outrage thru propaganda. We don't have to let it into our lives in fact having spaces where it is not welcome is reasonable & healthy.
It's just a healthy boundary around unreasonable behaviour.
I haven't logged into X/Twitter for a week and I'm ever-so-glad. The less engagement I give Elmo, the better off *I* am. I'm just waiting for the masses to finally (maybe) realize that they've been majorly conned and their lives are gonna suck.
😉🤘
Let their platform devolve and crumble.
As they migrate here though we wade thu the BS easier 1 person @ a 🕐
There will B 👨👨👦👦 that R open 2 convo these we cannot attack
We need 2 ask ?? 2 open the cracks in their 🛡️🛡️ gently open their 👀 they will C the lies
This is how we can #UNITEAMERICA again
Secondly, the only reason you're getting pushback is because Blue Sky is becoming popular & that scares the bleep out of competitors. 1/

There's a lot here that others couldn't replicate even if they had to, to save their lives. Don't let them get in your head. 2/
Are there enough persuadable voters on Truth Social or Rumble or Gab to make it worth it? Same with Twitter now.
That ended in 2022. That’s when I left there at least.
There is no conversation to be had with those who support orange-flavored nazism.
They realize that anyone resisting will eventually break down, or be broken down.
And then they are normalized
And the majority

#itsnotover #votes are still being counted and the #electoralcollege does not choose the president until #December
Any attempt at conversation over there is immediately swamped and inundated with retorts to see which phrasing of their narrative can most effectively counter and "own" the libs.

Right?
Why not deactivate your account and delete Twitter?
We’re lucky that Bluesky lets us do that. The only reason I ever visit there is because my alma mater’s athletic teams haven’t migrated here. When they do, I’ll happily delete the app. With luck, it will collapse.
Let Xitter die of its own poison.
Let's turn that around and start by declaring the exodus is caused by Elon's CENSORSHIP of DEMOCRATS, nonexistent moderation, and Russian propaganda.
We have had no choice but to deal with the garbage on Twitter and FB for a long time.
Now we have a choice and the ability to silence the noise and it makes sense we would flock here (1/2)
My motto is there is no shortage of places online to treat people like garbage it just isn't going to happen here.

Personally, I do my business and leave without worrying about what's under other people's clothing.
Transgender people and immigrants.
GOP is selling hate and MAGA buys it.
But of course the people who scream about freedom of speech don’t actually know what it means, or else they definitely wouldn’t support someone who wants to suppress political opposition and media that’s mean to him.
I then learned what so many other people have: Tolerance of the intolerant leads to subjugation.
White angry dude bros can fuck off into the sun with all their bigotry and bullshit.
I find an array of viewpoints on here. I’ve seen many I don’t/partially agree with, just no need to espouse my disagreement each time & w/ venom…which is their whole existence.
That’s the pushback.
There is no echo here.
Plenty of topics and viewpoints.
It’s disorienting to their mindset.
2) not handling reported posts fairly & allowing clear hate speech & threats
3) the absolute proliferation of bots & misinfo
These things would kill any platform in time. But, maybe we need to encourage broader interests & algorithms as well.
Let their desperation die alone.
So many posts telling me 'this has been blocked' ; despite the fact it's there 😁
And the replies 😕 rarely a coherent counter argument.
Why bother when insults will do rightly.? 😢
I use FB because that is how I stay in touch with family and friends from afar.
I'm just glad I dont have to sift through Nazi bs in my feed here.
Missing liberal opposition, the reality of their choices, when they start turning on each other, etc.
I never joined Twitter.
In the name of kids of course, because for some reason conservatives want a nanny state and can't control their kids.
It's not a coincidence that most content you see nowadays from basically everybody is just that. Just endless dunking to seek that "hit tweet" high.
Feel free to use it but I want a share of the t-shirt sales.
Bluesky really gives people peace that what NaziX doesn't.
Just an overwhelming # of xitterers i never want to hear from again getting in the way of potentially worthwhile posts.
Way worse than not all that long ago
Not here.
I always know when I wrote a banger and then no one looks at it...
The bifurcation is necessary.
That can be deleterious, at least when it comes to substantial personal decisions, b/c it can promote a crippling state of indecision.
But regarding theoretic matters of the utmost importance...yea, I'm going to proudly over think those in perpetuity.
“Hell ya Tulsi for DNI, cuz she’s hot.”
“The left is weird and ruined video games. I’m going with Trump”

As far as I'm concerned we are only Bifurcating between real people and not real people.
Not X.
Not you.

We just don't view racism, bigotry and misogynist BS as a "valid view point".
My DM's were either death threats, OF-girls that wanted to 'date' me (Yeah, right.) or crypto scams.
We don't take kindly to trolls here, and the only shame is engaging with the buggers.
Obviously you do you. I'm not trying to tell you what to do. Everyone has their own system.
Liberating!
I know bigoted hate mongers exist, I know what delusional conspiracies they peddle, but I just don't need to listen to them or feed their need to troll & gloat.
BTW - Happy Thanksgiving.
We hate twitter now because it is no longer a tool that can be used to sway public opinion.
We need more creators on platforms that are not throttling our content,we a need mainstream media channel like Fox but hardcore truth, and we need strong and aggressive voices
