Can I say I called it? The activity here is way down, most accounts only tweeted during the wave.
Not having a trending page really doesn't help make this place feel lively.
Threads tried to do the same thing, censoring politics and so on, and the result? Irrelevance.

There's stil nothing that beats twitter in it's main task, knowing what's happening, in every niche.

It seems the activity in the bluesky network is down in general.

Just Israel doing Israel things, now violently invading yet another country. There is no greater threat to human rights or peace than Israel, a nation that can genocide, apartheid, and occupy with impunity. It is unraveling our world as a whole, and will be the end to Western leadership on Earth.

Israel: "We destroyed the capabilities of the Syrian army in the largest air operation we have carried out in our history". 250+ bombings + they are now occupying territory, too. My friends in Damascus had chemical plants & more blown up next to them.

That prison is literally insane, they pressed people to death.

Arm chair experts who only knew about the middle east yesterday think assad is a hero, what surprise.

They are loud regarding hypocrisy of human rights for Palestinians only to do something worse against Syrians.

NEW: Human rights organization Amnesty International has released a 296-page report concluding that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

The group joins Holocaust historians, United Nations experts, and a growing number of nations worldwide in doing so.
BREAKING: Amnesty Concludes Israel Is Committing Genocide
“We will look back and say, ‘Why did we not do more earlier?” Amnesty's director tells Zeteo.

Musk admitted X throttles links, and Threads is only a little better. But social media's quiet war on links has been going on for years. I wrote about how big tech has been draining the open web's lifeblood and giving us "news influencers" instead of the news. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Impunity breeds more crime. Fourteen months of non-stop mass slaughter, shielded and supported by western powers, had unleashed Israel’s genocidal mania on full display. Good luck reigning back this monster.
243 days ago, Israeli forces attacked World Central Kitchen vehicles, killing 7 aid workers from across the world — including the US.

The US did not respond with policy change.

Today, Israeli forces reportedly attacked another car carrying WCK workers, killing at least 5 people.

#Bluesky seems to be falling into the same trap #mastodon did.
People being way too picky about stuff, wanting everything to be "nice" even though the world is anything but nice and peaceful currently.

People use twitter for serious stuff, if i want to lie myself i can just scroll threads and ig.

This is Moshe Ya’alon, the former Minister of Defense from Netanyahu’s party “Likud” and former Chief of Staff. He describes the occupation’s practices in northern Gaza as ethnic cleansing. Some Europeans still not getting it.

Framing matters. It’s not a “refugee crisis”, it’s a humanitarian crisis. Refugees don’t create the problem, inhumanity does.

Today marks 300 days since Israeli forces killed 6-year-old Hind Rajab, her family members, and the medics sent to save her in Gaza.

For months, I have pressed the US government again and again on the killing.

How they’ve responded is shocking.
