A reporter for Politico writes an article primarily about how she never sees any Democrats on Twitter/X anymore. She never for a second questions whether she should be getting most of her political information from a website owned and operated by the administration and designed to manipulate her.

One could use a variety of social science terms to describe what’s going on, but perhaps the simplest explanation is that the Trump White House is run by assholes. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
As federal workers and aid recipients reel, Trump’s team says: So what?
“They get the one starving kid in Sudan that isn’t going to have a USAID bottle and they make everything DOGE has done about the starving kid in Sudan,” a White House official said.

trying to shame people choosing not to endlessly subject themselves to nazism is just a way of shifting the overton window.
Whenever anyone accuses BlueSky of being a bubble of liberal thought I think about how buying Twitter allowed Elon Musk to become the most powerful man in the world. Does anyone think ideological “diversity” on Twitter would have stopped that? But organizing on BlueSky might help fight him.
