Weird feature to want imo

“Bluesky has not yet found its distinctive identity or purpose” — is this right?

How many articles about some people choosing to hang out on a different website do major publications need.

Is it like...70? About 70 each, I'd estimate.

lmao, I should have known who wrote this

This again falls into the cliche Pitchfork review category of "that popular album actually sucks and you're dumb for liking it"

That's sort of the only type of article the Atlantic runs anymore

You wouldn’t think there’s much of an audience for relentless doomerism, reflexive contrarianism, and genocide apologia but somehow, The Atlantic endures.

Also I guess Adam Serwer is still trapped there, someone should organize a rescue mission or something.

Look, this thing that everyone likes, actually sucks, they're just too brainwashed to admit it.

Also this thing that you think sucks? That's Important Work, you're just too basic to get it.

It’s by Ian Bogost.

From now on, when an article in *any* newspaper or magazine questions #bsky we should know it's hinky (disingenuous for wordy people ;-)

Haha I’ll never forget the pusha it’s almost dry one. “Why won’t the coke rapper stop rapping about coke? I want GROWTH.’

brokowskicast.bsky.social•99 days ago

Such a shit article. No sensical criticism of Bluesky, just “social media is like, super bad bro”. Goofy ass writer

donferrari.bsky.social•99 days ago

ianboudreau.com•99 days ago

Dear Atlantic: everything is fine here. You are not very bright. The End.

comraderobot.bsky.social•99 days ago

i hate read this article and the thesis is “all social media is bad” and ok lool

ianboudreau.com•99 days ago

Ian Bogost's brain beams descend to us from high above on the top of his crystal mind pyramid

skeet.best•99 days ago

he seems like he'd be the Matt Gaetz to your Matt Gertz

chetsucks.com•99 days ago

Ian lost his way a few years ago when he justified his staying on twitter and did some real doom and gloom which looks repeated here.

I am so f'ing tired of those takes.

thebiglutovsky.bsky.social•98 days ago

I'm glad people in the comments have described the article and the problem with it. I refuse to click the Atlantic anymore.

chloepoliticat.bsky.social•98 days ago

Too bad Emily Oster didn’t cherry pick some data for this article.

mxffox.bsky.social•99 days ago

A shit take from the Atlantic? Who could have seen that coming?

meatballstreudal.bsky.social•99 days ago

There’s always an agenda. They have better control of the narrative and of the left if everyone stays in Musk’s house. Why would the left stay in Musk’s house even if it was a free, beautiful platform where everyone was civil? He is the deep state and 1A is on the block.
