What is Bluesky and why are so many people suddenly leaving X for the platform?

So what is the verdict?

Is this a conservative site worth visiting?

[rktman]

Evil uncle Elon owns X and he supports PDJT.

[Frank Drebin]

"What is Bluesky?"

Another liberal echo chamber that will eat itself within months? Another failed experiment to create the 'X Killer'? The next source of victims in The Guardian's attempt to grift money and donations for 'reporting' the 'truth'?

I've got more...

[Dahoser]

Two words: Air America.

I went and looked. They are falsely advertising that they are “bipartisan”. There is nothing bipartisan about that platform at all. It is a shark feeding frenzy bolstering the insane left alternative reality.

[Gene Eric]

The Guardian evangelizing the soon to be Rat cesspool — imagine that.

[Disambiguator]

Twittercratic Underground

[9YearLurker]

Another Chinese social app.

[grimalkin]

It’s a platform for pearl clutchers.

[4Runner]

IOW, DU on steroids.

[Drew68]

What happened to poor Mastodon? I thought that was where all of the libtards went after Musk bought Twitter.

Now they're going to Bluesky? "Bluesky. We're just like Twitter except with only 0.01% of the users and we suspend accounts like the old Twitter you knew and loved did."

They'll be back.

[Pollard]

It’s a place all the liberals that quit X go

[alancarp]

All you need to know is that it was formed by somebody who used to work for Musk. (Can’t wait for the lawsuits about the theft of intellectual property from X.)

Expect censorship of ‘disinformation’, I believe it will be the new home of progressives/liberals/commies everywhere.

[Yo-Yo]

Libs after Elon bought X: "Let's all go to Threads!"

One month later they all came back to X.

Libs after Trump's reelection: "Let's all go to Bluesky!"

[FlingWingFlyer]

From what I’ve been able to learn so far, Blue Sky would be the opposite of Red Sky. A great place to go where you can hang out with the liberal whiners and screamin’ banshees who don’t want to share Thanksgiving dinner with you.

KamaLOL joined because she thought it was called "Blowguys"...

[Rennes Templar]

“1 million new users”

X has 370 million users.

[bankwalker]

how, exactly, do the platform owners keep right-leaning people off?

if Freepers decided to join what would the owners of the platform do?
