My wife has a very leftist friend. She would post really stupid leftist stuff about Biden and Harris and I would politely comment on why she was wrong. I remember when she posted a meme comparing Trump's border wall keeping illegals out to the Holocaust. I told her she couldn't possibly be comparing those trying to illegally sneak into America to the Jews who tried to escape Nazi Germany and were shoved into cattle cars and starved, gunned, or gassed to death. She couldn't debate my point so she unfriended me. Big loss..
Bluesky will be a safe place for leftists free of those inconvenient facts that dispute them. Best of luck to them.
Anyone interested in truth will avoid it like the clap.
Now, that has changed, in a big way. Although academics mostly stuck with X in the year after the poll, Bluesky has rapidly emerged as the new online gathering place for researchers, Kucharski among them. They are drawn by its Twitter-like feel, welcoming features, and, increasingly, the critical mass of scientists in many fields who have already made the move. "The majority has spoken, and researchers are moving en masse" to Bluesky, says De-Shaine Murray, a neuroscientist at Yale University who has also migrated to Bluesky.
And yet the shift was slow. Researchers studying online migration emphasize how hard it is for entire communities to move. It usually takes both a push and a pull. In X's case, there is no shortage of push factors: […]
Yet other platforms appeared to exert little pull for many researchers. Many scientists tried and abandoned Mastodon, LinkedIn, and Threads.
Anastasia Sergeyevna Bizyaeva, an engineer at Cornell University, says the trend reminded her of the dynamics she studies, called behavioral cascades, where a system that has reached a certain threshold can suddenly shift. In a school of fish, for example, a few individuals might notice a predator and change their behavior, "and then suddenly, there's this really fast transition where the whole network reacts."
I’m convinced because a guy named “Beat” posted it in some gaming chat board I’ve never heard of. I also love that when I go to the board’s contact page it refers me to their Twitter X page. Silent on any BlueSky hyperlink tho
I love that their toy got taken away from them, the left got too comfortable swinging the banhammer against the right and it seems they all preferred the hugbox echo chamber of 2020 Twitter.
X is a level playing field and suddenly they're all flocking to form another hugbox echo chamber, it's hilarious!
Bluesky moderators are actually complaining about being overwhelmed by the shitstorm going on over there, hehehe. So many people are reporting each other or demanding people get banned that even the bots can't keep up, rofl!
"I never thought the leopard would eat my face" complained the woman who voted for leopards eating people's faces party.
I know a lot of people moving to bluesky who are now complaining about how they can't post what they want because it's being censored. The schadenfreude is delicious.
Just today, I got to see three more pedos billing themselves as MAPs -- Minor Attracted Persons. They're big over there.
Brooklyn Dad said the site needed to steal all the good ideas from Twitter/X, which sounds to me as though the site doesn't function as well as Twitter does, isn't as user-friendly, and the paid Democrat shill is misses his old home BAD!
We're enjoying the break from the stupidity. We can check in on it with tweets from "Libs of Bluesky." Meathead announced he had to wander off to a retreat to get away from everything and try to regroup after that nasty dose of democracy. Same with "Mar🐫." Jo Jo from Jerz proves constantly that she's trash with a sewer-mouth. And I'm just not feeling the joy and love we were told the Dems radiated. O, well.
As much as they whine over there, I get the feeling they're going to be back eventually.
Oh. One more thing. The snowflakes are constantly reporting anything that gives them the sads. They've been making the site meltdown occasionally with an average of 3000 reports from whiners a day.
Something tells me it's not going to "defeat" Twitter.
Meanwhile, Musk is thinking of buying MSNBC now that rumor has it it's on the auction block. Joe Rogan says he's interested in taking Rachel Maddow's slot if Musk buys the crippled network.
They're both doing poorly right now. They overplayed their hands, and realized too late that being the PR outlet for the Biden Administration and the DNC wasn't going to work when they were trying to tell people that what they saw with their eyes in the stores wasn't what was really happening. No, boys and girls. It wasn't a great economy, and Americans don't continue to tune in any media that'll pee down their back and tell them it's raining.
