Maybe those users should just come over to where the news is

Vibes are awful here, compared to there, if we're being honest.

unlike X, your experience here is entirely determined by the choices you've made about which people/feeds to follow. if you're experiencing bad vibes, it's a you problem for me, X is a wasteland. all the interesting people left long ago, and the algorithm feeds me ragebait and grifter junk

Saying all the interesting people left Twitter is just hilarious cope. And I mean yeah I could unfollow all the people posting the pining political crap but ...

depends what you find interesting. the vast majority of the musicians/writers/reporters/foodies/scientists etc that made X interesting (to me) — in other words, the creatives — have very largely abandoned ship. if you only care about tech and don't mind being part of the fascism machine, X is fine

Well,techies also largely seem to flee the scene...

> and don't mind being part of the fascism machine mannnn this smug self righteousness is a terrible look I'll put it to you this way: all the wonderful, _brilliant_ people I enjoyed chatting with at your employer's conference last October are all on Twitter still 😉

This response rules so hard, hell yeah.

own information diet. None of these statements are particularly controversial. If being opposed to that sort of thing makes me smug and self righteous then I suppose that's a label I will just have to wear. I'm aware that lots of people I consider friends and colleagues are still there. Sadly,

I've tended to notice that people in the tech industry tend to consider themselves 'apolitical' or straight up don't pay attention to what's happening outside their bubble. To be honest, I thought you were different — your personal brand is 'outraged centrist liberal feminist dad'.

Why you so hellbent on defending X? Platform ran by a politicized wankhead who's not just annoying but pushing heavy propaganda 24/7. If you squint your eyes and keep a mute list, maybe the few gems are worth it for you, but it's not the case for many. Surely it's not that hard to understand?

It was one comment - at this point I'm just responding to the angry idiotic replies I keep getting 😂

Most folks here on Bsky came here specifically because of Elon's actions on X, not because there is a bigger audience here but in spite of it (I would argue, however, that factor is changing rapidly as Bsky reaches a critical mass). It's unsurprising that many have a strong view on that point.
