Every freeper ought to create account and masquerade themselves as a looney leftist.

That way; anytime there’s a hot button issue; We can poke and prod them into saying the most bat shit crazy things possible with just a little encouragement from us.

Then just watch the hilarity ensue

A hobbyist (totally non-political) educational group I am familiar with joined Bluesky recently to provide a chat forum. Apparently most of the users weren’t aware of Bluesky’s adoption by leftist wackos. It’ll be interesting to see how the situation evolves.

Is Bluesky inherently leftist, or they just happened to adopt it early, and other political persuasions could end up using it?

In their diseased minds they’ve made a powerful change that will fix the asswhipping they just took. Seriously. I think they’re that nuts.

In Obama’s basement, “millions of AI generated members of BlueSky” maintain the “BlueSky” money laundering.

I have an account there because a bunch of the artists I follow were leaving Twitter (X). I make sure to avoid the politics.

They ran to Mastodon first.
Then, they ran back to X.
Now, they’re running to Bluesky.
Somewhere, they forgot about Tribel.
They’ll be back.
