Personally I’d say the latter.
We should have stopped giving their ringleaders the oxygen they craved *years* ago.
And it's even worse once you realise that the trolls aren't even real people, just bots.
What I've always thought: the extreme right wing eventually implodes because it's based on hatred and humans cannot sustain that.
They've got the hatred bit perfectly. The problem is, they'll bring the rest of us down with them if they can.
Up to us to prevent them.
Yup! That sums it up!

Such a shame, and shows the sinister side of social media 😞
I’m neither shocked or surprised by the nature of the replies from that place.
Thanks for your post.
It is so nice to not always feel that a maniac I looking over my shoulder
That said I’ve had/seen some genuinely funny exchanges on here and long may it continue 😁
Either way, it’s a toilet over there and if it were a bar i would leave immediately… even if they were offering free Pina Coladas… well maybe just… NO! I’m out!
That’s it, I said it.
Plus the “culture” is such that block > engaging with bad-faith numpties.
Lovely. Thank you SB.
Generally on Space Karen’s site it means being as mean and nasty as you like.
Good to see you here though.
Twitter on right (525k followers)
Think that answers the questions about "reach" (anecdotally, of course, but there seems to be an awful lot of such anecdotal evidence).
quit permanently from there before it's too late. Thanks for posting that though.
The legal education you provide is unparalleled, it would be a shame to lose it on X if that’s what you are considering
BlueSky & X are mirroring the Democrat/Republican split, two echo chambers
I’d say staying there only keeps the numbers Musk wants.
He’s relying on accs not leaving it.
Especially for those that sub.
Eventually,
Musk will pay out more than he gains.
Every day there is more evidence of the insanity of remaining on the hell site. So glad I left it behind.
2. It confirms T vs B difference SO stark it takes no decision-making capacity for me to decide.
Zero regrets at moving.
*delete as appropriate.
I think the tax is right in principle, to prevent the tax dodge aspect, but maybe at a higher value.
Meanwhile on Threads….
Quiet Riot podcast E87 @rose.bsky.team talks about avoiding the amplification of rude content that doesn't violate the terms of service, but makes it a less pleasant experience.
They have the right attitude to make this work.
There’s no algorithm, and the nuclear block means they get no traction with anyone.
I dipped into BS a few months ago but yesterday decided to get it going properly. So far, so good 😀
You step away and immediately feel better for it.
Once we've all left they can just fight between themselves likes cats in a sack.
So cats in a sack it is.
It really stands out as NOT NORMAL CONVO.
The number of no-name, no face profiles I’d have follow me and chip in with vile quips and abuse, particularly around my sexuality.
Glad to be rid of it.
I wonder whether, in future years, Twitter-trained AI will be used in the courts to speed up the process 🤔
Wow.
X is a sewer.
Do we think they would behave like this in person? What turns someone into a person who feels this is the right and proper way to communicate?
Weird times
tweets were live/realtime, people would see them, respond, engage, etc.
now you're either in the dark or thrusted into a cesspit of moronic replies
