I’m confused by the past tense. “Was doomed.” Is it not anymore? Or are we in the social media afterlife?

It has 36 million users. It had 13 million in Oct. 2024. More than tripling its user base in eight months sure sounds like "doom" to me.

Hey McMegan,

boshekhorseman.bsky.social•17 days ago

She looks like Daria from the Upside Down

leosmith.bsky.social•17 days ago

Hope Megan realizes that there are a lot of "liberal causes" the people on Blue Sky think should fail. And also, don't know anyone who came here to "remake" twitter.

Bluesky organized Tesla Takedown.

I'd assume the only way to earn her praise would be to become right centrist thought, doubt she knows or cares for anything else

eldritchcatpossum.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yeah bluesky is great

Oh no, the woman who *checks notes" wrote that if it was drilled "into young people that the correct thing to do is for everyone to instantly run at the guy with the gun, these sorts of mass shootings would be less deadly" thinks BlueSky is bad.

Oh goody, Jane Galt joins in to be the 50lb feather Anubis weighs your heart against.

I guess there was no open graves for her to feed upon so she wrote yet another one of her "Greed is good." articles?

acindc.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yeah you could set a watch by the regularity of her suckage

We've failed?

ohcomrademycomrade.bsky.social•16 days ago

I honestly like Bluesky over Twitter.

Lol what gives

shelleybwoke.bsky.social•16 days ago

Her measly 600ish follower count lol

shelleybwoke.bsky.social•16 days ago

104k followers at the Nazi Bar

ohcomrademycomrade.bsky.social•16 days ago

Like the people on YouTube that hate on TikTok all day.

Oh, I wonder how that happened... /s

annastea-p.bsky.social•16 days ago

I have more followers than her and I'm a nobody trans woman.

ohcomrademycomrade.bsky.social•16 days ago

Frankly, you earned it more than that other person, I think.

As a Bluesky user, I attempt to recreate Twitter all the time. And even though I am a bit old, I eat enough fiber to succeed at it.

I could scale up, sure, but flushing is more hygienic.

From the brilliant mind that gave us "Chicago is a poor location for a city."

aristofontes.bsky.social•17 days ago

Whoa now, that wasn't a statistic, it was a hypothetical.

filecabinetjockey.bsky.social•17 days ago

And gastritis broke my ability to do math.

grudgingsignup.bsky.social•17 days ago

presumably she's talking to the people who own it and are hoping to become billionaires, rather than the people who will simply block her and forget she exists except when she posts something incredibly false and/or bigoted

darkcoffee8.bsky.social•17 days ago

Imagine thinking Bluesky is the problem in social media right now.

Bluesky is doing great, it's growing organically, has no ads... Maybe that's why Bezos hates it.

scotian.bsky.social•17 days ago

I love tapping my sign!

realthomasbell.bsky.social•17 days ago

Do you think she still thinks paying $50 for a bowl of soup is normal?

wudang.com•17 days ago

Nobody who came over here early really wanted to recreate twitter so there's that. The Brits brought very nice scones, the French offer coffee and baguettes, the Canadians would be happy to annex us, and the Brasilians, well, they brought lots'o'stuff. 😂

hughdelendaest.bsky.social•17 days ago

Can't budget for chicken soup lady has thoughts

energetic-nova.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yeah I figured out there are nice people to watch horror films with

You approach a fork in the road. One road leads to freedom and one to certain death. Before you are two columnists from The Washington Post. One can only tell lies, and the other can only be wrong.

Meg McMuffin has an unbroken record of wrong back to the days when Ta-Nehisi Coates ran a commentariat at the Atlantic and it was the best thing The Atlantic ever did.

maniacmkd.bsky.social•17 days ago

Hooray!

distractednova.bsky.social•17 days ago

Good, it's working then, we must be doing something right

lawngnomesorceress.bsky.social•17 days ago

McArdle is truly the Jim Cramer of ideology

stasisdelirium.bsky.social•17 days ago

They were incorrect. Bluesky wasn't trying to re-create Twitter. To do that, we'd have to allow every dribbling, viperous, grotesque, backward-thinking, conspiracy-theory-shitting, toddler-brained oaf to speak their mind.

We'd then have to set it on fire, and sell it to an atrocious misanthrope.

wehrmanm.bsky.social•17 days ago

McArdle is a north star of what not to do and who not to be.
