I’ve gotten more threats on Bluesky, which I use less often. YMMV
I went from getting nonstop transphobic comments in my replies and multiple death threats a week to none after moving from Twitter to bluesky.
One of the biggest mistakes left-of-center pundits and influencers made was decamping to Bluesky. They made themselves irrelevant, shrunk their audiences, and dramatically lessened the positive impact they could have on our public debate at the precise time we needed it most.

Charlie Kirk was a person. He might not have cared if I died, but if I don’t care that he died then I’ve already lost.
I believe in the dignity of all human beings and I want to live in a society that treats each of us as sacred and ensouled.

All murder is wrong. Categorically. That value should unite us, not divide us.
I honestly didn’t know that much about Charlie Kirk beyond the basics. No one deserves let alone should be murdered for sharing their views in a public fora.
Everyone should condemn this murder.

I need you to understand that if you heard a song you liked in the 80s, you couldn’t Shazam it. You couldn’t Google the lyrics. You had to sing it to the guy at Tower Records.

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes
