For leftists who hate the free exchange of information on Elon Musk’s X, it’s paradise; for the rest of us, it’s the funniest thing ever (and kind of sad, too).
I got curious about Bluesky, the social media platform that Democrats saw as their refuge once Elon Musk had the bad taste to turn X from a censorious leftist redoubt into a free speech platform. Today, I set up an account there, and I was absolutely dazzled. This is leftism unhinged, although for the real purists, like spoiled (and very rich) Hollywood brat, Rob Reiner, Bluesky is still too polluted by non-approved ideas.
Bluesky is a Twitter derivative. In 2019, Twitter did some research into a more decentralized platform that couldn’t be controlled by a single company. That actually sounds like a good idea and one more closely tied to the free market than any other social media platform. However, when Elon Musk purchased Twitter, Twitter severed Bluesky, making it an independent entity.
All might have gone well with Bluesky if it had remained true to the notion of decentralization, which is, of course, the opposite of the leftist love for central control in government and business. However, those Democrats who are offended by free speech announced that Bluesky was their destination of choice. Currently, the site is growing exponentially, but I suspect a lot of the growth comes from people like me, who sign up out of simple curiosity and have no intention of returning.
Why wouldn’t I return? Simple: Bluesky is all about content moderation.
Theoretically, it moderates through crowd-sourcing and AI learning from that crowd-sourcing. But rather than sharing opposing or correct information via community notes, as X does, Bluesky shuts down information the community determines is offensive.

It might not last long. The left lives to and enjoys creating conflict. If everyone agrees with each other it won’t be fun for long.
There’s a guy on Twitter who posts things from that site. It’s Full of pedophiles.
I look at it like this. It is a handy desktop feature. It is a trashbin to throw all the garbage and hope it gets permanently deleted in the end. Let them go, lets help them go... Click send to trashbin... lol
Twitter (and FB) is full of fabricated nonsense. It’s the reason I stay here.
Remember 1984? ... Power, is “power over human beings” , but “above all over the mind” The party controls external reality through the control of the mind, and it controls the mind, through the control of language.
Air America.
The left’s answer to Rush Limbaugh.
[Will Bluesky survive as long as Air America did? 2004-2010.]
It will fail like all the others
The left pronounces it blue-sky, (blo͞oˌskī), but I prefer to sound it out like Rooski, as in “Russia, Russia, Russia”!
Sounds like a screamin’ banshee fag and tranny eGay Bar.
In in unrelated news Kamala Harris won only in states with no voter id.
The result can only be the most mentally ill ideas left on the table. The rest will be considered ‘right wing’ no matter how far left the platform goes. It’s the only logical conclusion.
This could be a new form of entertainment. Grab the popcorn. We haven’t begun to see ‘unhinged’ yet!! The left like to think they’re intellectually superior, except they’re not, they’re just evil and think ‘being different’ must be because they’re so smart....when really, they’re just immature children throwing tantrums against adult ideas. They never grew up.
If you want to know the predictable talking points of the left, just go there.
libsOfBluesky on Twitter
It’s a digital pacifier for whiny little brats.
Not necessarily. There are some MAGA folks crossing enemy lines to plant the Trump flag on Bluesky.
There’s also a general filter for snowflakes to filter out MAGA accounts.
That is funny.
