BlueSky platform vs Threads Platform
'note: The last time liberals wanted to abandon Twitter to get away from MAGA and 'hate speech' (i.e., free/uncensored speech), their destination was Meta's 'Threads' platform. If Threads had performed well, there wouldn't be a dramatized stampede of liberals leaving Twitter to join Blusky. But Threads continues to have problems - in October this article described excessive moderation as the besetting problem.

On Threads, the topic of “Threads Moderation Failures” is trending. Some users complain their accounts are being deleted or restricted for linking to articles with controversial topics. Instagram and Threads boss Adam Mosseri is directly replying to some complaints and said he’s “looking into it.”
'note: Since Threads has not dealt a death blow to Twitter, Bluesky is the new escape hatch for those who wish to flee 'toxic' (i.e., free) speech.
I've been trying to understand Bluesky's business model. Ultimately, I think they may be trying to build their own platform-sized Q thread. They seem to hope that making their platform a focused conference room of like minded (liberal) people, they will build a movement to rival Trump's. Note that BlueSky was created in 2019, and I submit it was the result of Jack Dorsey's war-gaming 'how to thwart Trump's movement-building back-channel, Q.'

"Bluesky started as a project within Twitter in 2019 and was spun out into a separate company by founder Jack Dorsey two years later. "
The 'Marketplace of Ideas' versus 'The Conference Room'
'note: On Free Republic, when trolling Q content was at it's height, it was impossible for us to discuss or analyze Q. A memorable (for me) example of this was a thread I posted in which almost all of the first 120 or so posts were from one troll posting identical content. When we did as Jim Rob asked and posted Q content only on the Q thread, those trolls bitterly complained we 'hid in our safe space' because we were too fragile to post publicly. But if the first 120 posts are the same sentence posted over and over again (until Admin stepped in, otherwise it would have continued), just what kind of conversations investigating Q content are we be permitted to have?
So while the FR forum worked well for the marketplace of ideas and a review of any and all content, then the Q thread worked as a place who decided they wanted to stop wasting time defending their right to discuss Q content, and instead, actually discuss and analyze said content. The Q thread became a conference room devoted to discussing content to the point that we could grow our understanding and extrapolate discoveries, expanding ideas and ramifications.
X.com is a marketplace of heavily debated ideas. BlueSky seems to be designed as a conference room in which like-minded people will collect around similar ideas and advance their thinking, before socializing their beliefs outside their platform. Below, I've put a key phrase from Richard Hall's BlueSky article in bold font.
"Wang believes the reason that Bluesky is rising while others are stalling comes down to control. Bluesky doesn’t have an overriding algorithm that controls what people see. If X is the town square, where the loudest voices drown out everyone else, then Bluesky is a party that you have chosen to attend with guests similar to you.
Users can create lists of people to follow based on subject or interest, block accounts and certain types of posts, and adopt custom timeline filters. All of these controls are aimed at creating a more social, less toxic, environment."
'note: While Hall says Bluesky doesn't have an algorithm that controls what people see, he says it functions like a private party of like-minded people. These two descriptions seem to stand in opposition to one another. Bluesky users fleeing X.com don't want to 'see' MAGA or conservative ideas, Trump etc. so on their platform, they can choose to 'see' only people with whom they agree. I submit moderators will help control what BlueSky users 'see,' too, lest it become diluted with free thinkers and 'wrong thought'.
MAGA swarms the marketplace of ideas and has 'conference room' style access in places like FR. The left can only handle the controlled conference rooms well and is (too) quick to shriek, "Help! I've fallen and I can't get up! MAGA PUSHED ME!" when it can't defend its own indoctrinated ideas in the free speech marketplace.
Discovery vs Application
FR's forum debates tend to function a little like pure science (raw discoveries of information which may require fierce debate), and the Q thread is more like applied science (ramifications and applications of new lines of unpopular discovered information, which may also require debate).
I know I'd posted in the past that the patriot Anons on the Chans functioned more like pure scientists (inventing the means by which new information is exposed) and FReeQs functioned more like applied science (applying/socializing/red-pilling exposed information). Both approaches to information are needed.
However, the left's attempts at building a communications backchannel and movement to rival Q suffers from the lack of a group like the original Chan Anons, both the Anon's wild/free marketplace of ideas and their collection of 'pure science' or 'truth' autists are absent. Instead, whatever intellectually gifted people they have are in charge of false mind-control psyops.
News Aggregators
Just as FR is an aggregator, the Q thread functions as a more focused aggregator, gathering content from around the world, but focusing on content with relevance to Trump's movement/Q content.
When patriots became the news, and the dinosaur media began to fall, Deep State indoctrination was damaged and many escaped their grasp. With the truth escaping the MSM gatekeepers, I think Dorsey wanted to build a new echochamber populated only by Deep State psyops and 'good liberals.' Hence, Dorsey's model shapes the platform into a 'right think' aggregator.
Here's Hall describing BlueSky's goal of aggregating content:
“You’re trying to drive people to what’s happening somewhere else, and this is the lobby in which you can discover that. That’s not how other platforms work, where they’re walled gardens and their incentives to keep you locked in,” Wang says.
'note: As usual, the Deep State is posing thought control as freedom. I sigh to imagine how many might be recaptured by indoctrination with this tactic.
By Design, Bluesky Fails To Mimic Trump's Comms
So BlueSky poses itself as a private party of your friends or like-minded people who all access links/information to content off site. Contrast that summary with Q3038 posted at the start of every Q thread. It becomes clear the Deep State wants people to remain thought controlled slaves, and Q/Trump want people to wake up and deal with reality.
This is why I believe content moderation will control what is linked offsite lest their herd leave the preserve and post independent opinions, again (gasp) In the details I've posted, I believe BlueSky is this years' Threads, and both are failed attempts at controlling the perception of reality in order to fight Trump's Q free thought/truth movement.
Faith vs Politics
As Q once said said in this Q drop EXCERPT,

....
Their power and control relies heavily on an uneducated population.
A population that trusts without individual thought.
A population that obeys without challenge.
A population that remains outside of free thought, and instead, remains isolated living in fear inside of the closed-loop echo chamber of the controlled mainstream media.
This is not about politics.
This is about preserving our way of life and protecting the generations that follow.
We are living in Biblical times.
Children of light vs children of darkness.
United against the Invisible Enemy of all humanity.
Q
'note: While Q says, "This is not about politics" and speaks of Biblical times uniting us against the enemy of humanity, the left uses politics in place of religion to bind their 'faithful' together. MAGA has many people of faith who view this battle as a conflict between good and evil; the left declares those endorsing political ideas with which they disagree are by definition 'evil', and on platforms like BlueSky, we're deemed 'toxic'.
Prayers up for all who are seeking the truth in the wrong places. Father in Heaven, take them by the hand and lead them past the censors and psyops, into Your Light.
