billionaires repeatedly buy and destroy communications platforms to dominate information flow this week's 🙄 Bluesky silo redux discourse downplays that people of sense and empathy were chased here unwillingly and are focused on survival and connection, not revolution

"The general consensus I see from Bluesky users is a sort of indigence or confusion as to why the rest of the world is trapped in a right-wing echo chamber that they don’t care about. It’s because their little doomsday bunker has not really affected the apocalypse raging beyond their walled garden"

"you're won't change the world on Bluesky" Have you BEEN out there? It's wall to wall Theo Von dullards and nazi androids with maralago face on billionaire platforms custom-built to undermine progressive reform and authentic connection. I don't understand what's being asked of Bluesky users.

this week's bluesky punditry was akin to running up to a bunch of war refugees huddled over ramen noodle pots in their shitty makeshift camps and yelling at them for not being more impactful on the global stage what the fuck are you on about

my entire internet life has been spent running from one shitty billionaire ruined platform to another Bluesky will inevitably be ruined by rich assholes too running up and yelling "bubble!" at people taking a five second breather from this insufferable cycle is annoying and inane

this whole week of Bluesky discourse is once again just very weird like this is not only a strange generalization, you could easily say this about America as a whole just a lot of ambiguous angst about bluesky with no actual solution. are you wanting people to go to substack? Threads?

The people who fell the need to do this shit every 4-6 months want you to know that Bluesky is an unoriginal echo chamber

The bi-annual 'you must return to twitter for The Cause' is making it's rounds.

I read and comment minimally on xtwitter. There is absolutely -0- honest dialogue between right/left. It’s a trash heap of misinformation,bots & hateful brainwashed maga types.I don’t need that in my life becuz it’s a GD waste of brain cells. I don’t need to be judged by a disgruntled few anywhere.

“this whole week of Bluesky discourse is once again just very weird” Thank you, Karl. I keep thinking of phrases like “personal agendas” and “false logic” and “wishful thinking” and “binary choices” and “low imagination”. Seems to me, Bluesky just is; nothing more. And that’s its strength.

AMEN! I’m a small account but I will never understand the constant yammering about the site itself. Just use it as you please or don’t. There are so many more interesting and critical issues to discuss.
