I think one of the best things about Bluesky and one of the things that is going to keep it from ever becoming as big as other sites is that everyone here has a real internal mistrust and dislike of people selling us something, either literally for money or for some sort of other gain
I think Bluesky is currently the best social media platform for keeping misinformation to a minimum, maybe because it’s not popular enough to be a target yet

Half the shit my friends, including fellow academics, share on Facebook is made up crap that they believe is real

Threads is atrocious too

Unless they make driver's licenses, state id's, passports, birth certificates, *any* form of identification **FREE**, it's a poll tax & therefore immediately rendered unconstitutional.

In case anyone needed a reminder.

What's the use of democracy if the media is allowed to lie to the public and therefore influence their voting? We have churches that do not pay taxes directly influencing people's votes. And this is what democracy is. It's bullshit. It doesn't work like we're supposed to believe.

It’s weird we never do stuff like this with other terrible decisions. Newspaper doesn’t run “I saw a half empty can of Mountain Dew left on the street and drank the rest of that mfer”, and the guy who drank the Mountain Dew is only hurting himself

the way that trumps administration needs to do something deeply insane every time media cycles against them die down is wild
Stephen Colbert said that the FCC and CBS - which is in no way a compromised or complicit organization - wouldn’t allow him to broadcast an interview with Democratic State Rep James Talarico. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/a...

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

This thread shows why I'm hypercritical of certain guys in the "male loneliness epidemic", the mean men he's referring to are being 100x nicer to him than I'd expect from a Reddit forum but because it's not the fawning of a pre-programmed hugbox it's interpreted as hostile.

Markiplier being able to self-finance a movie and give it an audience isn't the cheat people seem to think it is.

Hollywood is filled with movies starring famous and rich people that no one sees. It's kind of Hollywood's whole thing.

The mass censorship this administration is doing is happening in big ways (Colbert) + countless medium and small ways that many people are not allowed to say because their employer has forbidden them; they won’t risk losing their job to speak up. There are lists of forbidden words & images.

I think they killed Epstein, but if it had gone down a few years later, they would've instead given him a cabinet position.

It's like talking to Russian IT people these days. “Oh but my salary went up” yeah so has mine, you and I are near damn irreplaceable at the moment due to how severe the brain drain is.

Everyone else is dying, brother.

I always love it when the chart perverts who insist that the economy is good because some people’s wages went up try to pull out the charts with me. I always read them more closely than they did

“wages are up”
“What about this little label on the chart that says it’s among full time wage earners?”

I live in a rural part of the UK & volunteer at a group for LGBTQ+ young people.

Many have been out of education, mostly because of being bullied or ostracised by their peers. When they make friends at group they swap social media details.

Can't stop thinking about how a ban would devastate them.

Not terribly surprising, either — social media accentuates the world's worst tendencies, but it did not create them
“One large British study from last year found that schools adopting phone bans had no better student outcomes in terms of learning, behavior or mental health than those without bans. In the US, as bans have proliferated, our standardized testing scores for youth have continued to decline.”
There is no evidence that social media harms children’s mental health
Far from ‘drowning in evidence’, real researchers – not pop psychologists – are scouring a great desert looking for puddles

A dreadful story, but buried in the middle is: "A tall friend says she gets shouted at all the time", hmm, I wonder what gets shouted at her Guardian and whether you might have anything to do with why people would be picking on and shouting at TALL women in particular 🤔
