BlueSky can be very beige. The risk of being banned for posting a rebuttal shuts down any interesting conversations. As a result there isn't an exchange of opinions just shouting your thoughts into a room of sycophants. And people wonder why they don't get any replies to their posts.

Just imagining the NZ government revoking the license of any bank in New Zealand because they didn’t work with coal miners… it would implode the entire economy. But that’s what they’re threatening, just to do more polluting. Can’t think of a more on-brand policy for this government. #nzpol
