I’m not convinced that wallowing in the sewage that much of Twitter has become is the same as “broadening my horizons.” - ThreadSky

I’m not convinced that wallowing in the sewage that much of Twitter has become is the same as “broadening my horizons.”

Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

Fuck Twitter/X and fuck those who stay there and make excuses for supporting a fascist.

They really do hate being ignored.

@bsky.app is my main social media app now. Twitter/X is a sewer, but the echo chamber challenge is fair. Getting a bit disillusioned.

They are paid by the word, not by the idea.

Seem to ignore that “the left” is a very broad church and doesn’t agree on everything. It is however nice to debate with mostly sensible people rather than having moronic thugs invading your space and spouting hate.

That's at least 33 million users no longer constantly confronted with right leaning radicalising bullshit.

The problem with Twitter now is the number of farm bots. You cannot tell what is real opinion anymore and what is manufactured.

I already know what bigots and racists think; and what gaslighting grifters will probably say about events to bring them outrage driven clicks.

Why do I need X?

drownedinsound.bsky.social•45 days ago

Completely agree. I opened it earlier and the most interesting post I saw was someone sharing an article about a married man bragging about his affair with Liz Truss, who was/is also married.

And a screenshot of Elon Musk replying to Rupert Lowe

Quite - and being here, rather than the old place, can safely say that it broadens my horizons but without the sewage of X

There’s some pubs where you can meet unusual people with interesting views and there’s other pubs where you can sense it’s all about to kick off.

We’re not obliged to talk to fascists and racists in real life so why should we be obliged to online?

paulrogers.bsky.social•45 days ago

Oh FFS, these guys spouting nonsense again.

If I went to a pub, I wouldn't spend all my time talking to people who I disagree with.

Not would I invite them round to my house for some tea.

This is my social media, my eyes and my brain. I'm not obliged to read anything I don't want to.

This sounds pretty much like right wing propaganda.
