The Electoral Problem for Democrats: It’s the Neoliberalism, Stupid
In the 2024 contest between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, voters rejected the status quo — as our polls and focus groups warned would happen.

There's a big difference between meeting the criteria for being a war criminal and having an arrest warrant issued by the ICC.
The thing that's tougher to shrug off is that he now has a rotating list of countries where depending on who's in power he cannot visit without being arrested.

Tell you what I'll block you and you'll never have to see my share of it again
I think there's a lot of overlap between people interested in a reddit alternative and a twitter alternative. Or maybe as that guy below says it's just that I'm personally posting about it a lot.
Yeah too bad they didn't get into it earlier, but it has hit a critical mass of users and attention lately.
The reason people post on these sites is to make themselves heard I guess. You just have to ignore or block your way into the level of interaction you're comfortable with.
Russian fascist owned? What are you talking about?
These parts:
Bluesky can fuck right off as well. I tried it to see if it was any different than Twitter but I had to nope out after 10 minutes.
I've never understood the whole Twitter formula anyways. Scroll through endless ramblings of people I don't care about? No thanks.
There are far better places to stay informed about certain topics or get in touch with people you know.
Sure the billionaire buying stuff thing happens, but a Nazi billionaire?
To be fair Musk buying twitter and turning it into a Nazi propaganda site was kind of flukey.
Interesting. As with any problematic group that makes the transition it's a bit annoying to have to deal with them on the new platform, but they shouldn't be banned and them moving is a great sign that bluesky has the juice.
Meaning like the rationalist / effective altruism guys? Would have thought they'd be prone to sticking with Musk
Not every social media format is for everyone, no need to be hostile about it. I just can't bring myself to engage with TikTok and Reels and such, but other people really like them and why would that be a problem for me?
Bluesky just captures the magic of pre-Musk twitter in a way Mastodon does not
Eh idk, Elon boosting right-wing content doesn't mean that nobody was seeing people's anti-Trump posts on there, much less that they did any harm.
The platform is the users but it's also the owners. Twitter got a lot worse when Musk took over and started turning it into a Nazi propaganda platform even though the userbase didn't immediately change.
The way Mastodon is broken up into little communities such that it's hard for anything to go viral and you can't easily search for everything being said about a topic kills a lot of the value of old-twitter. Comes from Mastodon having been created as a twitter alternative with a different philosophy back in the old twitter days, while bluesky is more a reaction to Musk twitter used by people who didn't have a problem with the old version.
