@n1ghtmarica.bsky.social has a new action plan!!! Check it out and participate! The election is not certified- and the distraction tactics are flooding reality - WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER

It does seem to be a place where your feed can be mostly cat pics if you want, which is probably better. fwiw I don't think Twitter was an echo chamber when I left. It was just a regular chamber with a lot of very noisy turds in it.

Your very next post. “F Joe Rogan”…….polite?

Hope not

Not too much to ask at all. I like to get different views than mine and have discussions. It's one of the reasons I follow you and listen to things that are on the Bulwark. It's a different angle for me to see, and I do appreciate that.

Depends on how much trolling floods the space and how many choose to engage with it. Xwitter trolls want to agitate and instigate to provoke negative reaction to feed their addiction. How others engage with the bullshit will determine the sanity of this space.

That's too much to ask for.

Threads? What's that?

"Disagreement" is a misnomer for questions of human rights. I "disagree" about pizza toppings and hockey teams. I don't "disagree" about the autonomy and safety of humans.

True. But occasionally I can see one small area of agreement with some of those that do talk about faith. And when someone here attacks them, I tell them I don't support that type of treatment for anyone. The whole two sets of rules has to be challenged whether we win or not.

As long as we all remain on earth one, I’m cool, but when they start to talk about jan 6 being the governments fault and not MAGA or any other multitude of bat crap crazy conspiracies, they are not welcome. There has to be one platform that remains crazy conspiracy free.

I mean, yeah, Adam, if someone supports a person who wishes to take away many of my cherished rights, then we can't politely do anything, other than for me to politely tell them to fuck off. So, politely, former rep who loves Reagan, a shitty neoliberal, fuck off.

I disagree.

Not at all. You of all people deserved it.

I disagree. Just trying to help!

Depends on the disagreement

Just go back to twitter or truth social if you want a fascist right wing echo chamber, no need to follow the liberals to bluesky

When you join the MAGA cult, every other opinion is left wing communist fascist marxist Nazis.

Fair enough. One carat, those who start out don’t worry, he won’t be that bad or, Democrats did this to themselves or, I didn’t know enough about Kamala Harris but all of the horrible things I know about him made him a better choice. Those people and their views do not need further exploration.

Agreed

The only right wingers I've seen on here so far are a bunch of dudebro incels just coming on here to scream and think that it will somehow affect us 😂

Threads is an echo chamber for the left? Ehhh, I don’t think there’s anyone one threads.

Wake up. Centrists are uninformed. It's the same as being ignorant. Everything that has made America great was a PROGRESSIVE policy.

HELLO hello helloo

Welp, bye.

A better right wing echo chamber is Truth Social. You’d probably prefer that, if you can tolerate ads for fake gold and hydroxychlorine.

Now do the mainstream media.

as a conservative, I can get behind this sentiment. If bluesky can become a place where discourse can happen in a sane manner, then it will continue to grow. Become another leftist echo chamber and this app will slowly fade into irrelevance.

Nope I disagree and demand that everyone echos this.

I hope so to Adam!!

It does not seem like too much to ask, but such politeness in the dialogue of politics has been greatly diminished since Newt Gingrich turned partisan battles into bloodsport, wrecked Congress, and paved the way for Trump’s rise.

Adam, I hope for all our sakes that we achieve your wish ……

I would love to have polite discourse, but MAGAts are never wrong, according to them. Loudly. Violently.

Please help me understand why conservatives want to limit government and especially cut funding for the safety net for the elderly, the disabled and the working poor.

I will always disagree with this. So yeah. Asking too much.

Hopefully no.

Nope

I see a lot of people say that about threads, but my feed there is all MAGA, and I have never engaged with it. I wish it was more leftish for me.

I disagree….. does that help 😀

Sounds fantastic

Also a wellness clinic for Democrat supporters.

One half of the country has given the other half PTSD, and abuse continues 🙄

They sure do, or they change the subject and move on to another conspiracy. We have to figure out how we deprogram this cult like thinking?

I do not have empathy but willing and able to discuss their strong reasons for supporting DJT.

Those people do not exist. Good luck finding even one.

For my mother, it was internalized misogyny and racism.

I think she did it for the tax cuts. She owns a medium size business. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 she doesn’t look closely enough at all there things, like what tariffs would do to us.

True

I pray your wish and the wish of so many others is realized. It is important to maintain our group strength and not fall victim to “divide and conquer” agenda as is the Rs plan for us.

Depends on if MAGA people are blocked as soon as they arrive by most people on here. Sane people can have disagreements, and hold conversations, those whose entire lives have become a cognitive dissonance snowball rolling downhill can not.

So far so good!!

Too late for the sky of blue. It’s already an echo chamber for blues like that hippy Lister. I’m afraid you will have to hear people give differing opinions. Like chicken vindaloo. I hate it. Lister bathes in it. Smeghead!

A great leader I know used to tell me that to solve a problem, we need to put it on one side of the table and the rest of us on the other side. I imagine my political views are different than yours, but I appreciate your views and know we will be better by working together.

Bluesky is growing fast so some trolls slip through. However, the block and mute buttons work great.

Never thought of threads as an echo chamber on the left. Plenty of discourse there if it's a echo chamber

Agree.

Too much to ask. We need the left, so no one is left behind. The reds have gone full fascist and there is no way to talk to them. It shouldn't be red verse the left, but the Felon elect in chief is a divider. Biden was a uniter. We have to stop giving fascists hall passes. 🚬😎

I would like to expand my understanding, I’m not sure if I would categorize it as a disagreement. Hoping, like you, it’s not too much to ask.

But MAGAs infantry is coming to a big awakening. When Trump abandons them all and they are left to suffer with the rest of US, they will be pissed. Not at US at him for the betrayal and the numbers of the resistance will expand like lava from a volcano.

Exactly this. They are emotionally attached to their positions, and you cannot get them to move using reason and facts. Anything that causes them emotional discomfort gets dismissed as "fake news".

Refreshing to talk about rational policies again instead of insults, lies, & correcting misinformation. Is it too much to ask Social Media to be curated for integrity? Beliefs based on trolls shouldn't count for freedom speech.

This space will remain sane as long as we don't give oxygen to insanity. Stay vigilant. Report, block and/or ignore trolls. They'll get bored and find another sandbox to play in.

A few thoughts: 1. I long for a space that’s not adversarial. Not every space requires debate. 2. I’ve yet to see that Left vs Right “debates” are ever productive. What’s the point? 3. Some differences aren’t matters for “debate.” Someone’s right to exist, for example. So, yes. Too much to ask

I’m not left or right and I love it here. Let’s talk!

If we want a sane normal place we can't take the twitter garbages.

No! No way. Too much to ask (Is that a good start?)

I took a note from Mark Cuban - block the trolls.

🤣🤣 x.com/iAnonPatriot...

x.com/iAnonPatriot...

Here's an example of liberal lies. x.com/TimRunsHisMo...

🤣🤣🤣

Cool. Where is that community notes link? Can't find it in this app.

Here’s a genius who will help us!!!! NOT

Yeah, I know.

Never heard Biden or Harris speak I see.

Trump pp licker has arrived. This is funny coming from a guy who worships Trump who lies every day, and elongated muskrat who got community noted sometimes 3 times a day until he made a call to the team 😂

As if it would matter. We have mountains of proof, including straight from Trump's mouth, but you people ignore it. You then spew lies which are easily proven to be lies. Finally you project what you are on to everyone else. And how pathetic your avatar is Trump. You have NO life!

Remember when Trump said Nancy Pelosi failed to summon the National Guard on January 6? That’s hilarious. Another lie from IQ 45.

Remember that Democratic president who avoided giving back documents he stole for several months, and then moving them around his resort, and then taking one about sensitive nuclear information in a rock and showing it to a buddy of New Jersey? Oh wait no that was the Republican president.

Oh yeah, and aren’t they the ones who claim China pays tariffs to the US for the goods it exports? Oh wait, no, that’s Republicans.

Wait, aren’t they claiming that public schools do gender reassignment surgeries on campus? Oh wait no, that’s wingnuts.

I asked for an example, didn’t I? If not, can you give me one?

I think it is imperative to remind people WHY Threads and now Bluesky are refuges from Twitter. The inhospitable environment purposely created by Elon drove sane people away!

Disagreement is fine. Trolling with insults is not.

Completely agree.

No. Trying to "think of solutions together" led to normalizing MAGA. It ends NOW.

WHISTLING DIXIE: When FoxNews is your primary source of information nothing good comes of it. Conspiracy theorists, Q-anon weirdos, antivaxer dupes, ignorant doofuses, assorted losers and cult of Trump .. are created. It’s why I avoid these “know nothing” losers. It’s better that way.

Do you remember Newt Gingrich?

What I'm saying is: I'm fine talking with non cultists.

I think you've touched on something here. Trumpism is a real personality cult and cults always paralyze a person's tolerance for critical thinking.

I'm ex-republican too! Great to see another one here! One must first be taught how to learn and listen before one can have a productive discussion.

I believe our democracy will be tested. Autocracy or Oligarchy are as likely as Democracy. We need a means to stop lies from being viewed as authoritative or we will be doomed to the whims of the powerful.

😳

I was taken back... And asked them why. I brought up issues... And they admitted they knew nothing about the issues. But some guy on the radio they trusted said to vote for him and they were... And they would get their families and friends to vote for him too

Unbelievable. No one will avoid what is to come, Im afraid.

I'd put this on my lawn... Four years of "I told you so," if we survive it. Ugh.

Trump means to see to it you will soon have new neighbors or no neighbors. They'll never know what they did to themselves.

The church brainwashing them.

I think the really hard part on Twitter is that you genuinely cannot tell if they're a bot, or a fake profile that's just an outrage farmer. There are TONS of astroturf accounts, many powered by chat bot talking points too. Elon did NOT purge the bots, just just monetized them for himself.

Its a death cult. Pure and simple. Prepare yourself. Learn basic skills like cooking and building.

They will sprout, maybe in unrecognizable ways. It often seems like people aren't listening especially if they're following a cult of personality, but in my mind arguments made are never completely lost in a void. In this category, perfection is a moving target.

This was my frustration too. Talking to other vets after 2016 became an exercise in futility. I’m done trying.
