if you were wondering how it's going on the other site, the discourse du jour is whether sabrina carpenter is a moral abomination humiliating women or now

Bluesky only gets thinkpieces because the people writing them are sufficiently extremely online to know what Bluesky is. Until it becomes a website where people talk about, say, sports (if it ever does) it's never becoming that big
