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.

Another DUmp.
Got an unsolicited email suggesting I should go to Bluesky because Mush had turned X into a conservative echo chamber. Think about that “logic”.
Musk shuts down censorship, allowing for more open, diverse opinions. Dims hate free speech and diversity of thought. So, they want all fellow libs to join their new platform, essentially creating an actual REAL echo chamber the falsely claim X to be.
Well, if all libs/leftists do go to Blue, leaving only conservatives, then X does sort of become an echo chamber. But not one of their own design.
Leftist stupidity...it burns.
I am pleased that their is a site that lefties/DIMs “migrate” to. That means that I don’t have to be exposed to any more of their insanity. bluesy should be a great recruiting ground for psychiatrists and psychologists who treat the mentally ill.
I’m so glad all of these Liberal celebrities and political figures fled the toxic environment of X for the new platform Bluesky - where they can create their own toxic environment by trashing Trump and MAGA voters without receiving any pushback...
“because Mush had turned X into a conservative echo chamber.”
A day or two ago, Harry Enten on CNN showed a chart, and provided statics, showing that since Musk bought X the forum has become more balanced. The percentage of D and R users is almost equal now.
“It’s basically split between Democrats at 48%, Republicans at 47%.”
Bluesky: YADREC - Yet Another Demon Rat Echo Chamber
X removes censorship and suddenly everyone conservative? How can this be? Elections are usually about 50/50?
LOL! Good point. If only the mentally ill, evil deceivers were treatable. Many go on to do much worse things than deceive.
It’s like a dream come true that came out of nowhere and will probably also go nowhere. America simply does not have that much talent to go around. Take a look at Trump’s picks...All the real talent is going to be there.
Ah, CNN in for the ‘splain.
If X suddenly became conservative it would be hard to explain election results.
“It’s like a dream come true that came out of nowhere and will probably also go nowhere.”

Bluesky is the digital equivalent of “Air America”?
🤔
Their political beliefs aside, “progressives” have no wit or charm. They are drab, dull, and humorless. So I’m sure Bluesky will be drab, dull, and humorless.
lol at the European blueskii posterwho has both “indigenous people deserve homelands” and “free Palestine” and “pro-immigrant”
I guess all indigenous people deserve their homeland except Jews in Israel and English in England (and all the other European countries being inundated with savages).
Fire works. Or nuking from orbit.
Those were my thoughts.
A few days after the glorious win, I went to DU to sample their grief, but I couldn't get in.
It seems that too many maga hats wanted to share the tears and only DU members were allowed to sign on.
SAD.
