Fun fact: Whenever you reply with decorum to a post on a liberal's wall on BSky when they say something insulting like this, they almost always block you from even seeing their posts. This is their version of America—a complete groupthink echo chamber censorfest.

I am editing a paper about women's liberation, written by a bunch of Indian professors. The last sentence boldly declared that "global poverty can be considerably decreased by encouraging women to participate in the workforce."

I'm not so sure. Who raises the kids? The State, of course. I see...

I'm gonna have to start winnowing my more florid expressions to simple speak it seems. I'm getting called out or blocked by people who take my expressive vocabulary as showy and find it to be distasteful. I was only trying to be double plus good at saying stuff.

I am incredibly unhappy that the default reaction to sentences longer than 10 words, with moderately above average use of vocabulary, is someone saying "you are just trying to sound as smart as you can." I feel it's actually a handicap to have language skills. Communication is bad?

It is so strange how many people on BlueSky spend their time trying to avoid a discussion rather than actually having it. It is some of the most childish banter I've ever had, and I've been in some of the worst, anti-semitic, alt-right chatrooms. The horse blinders on avg BS users are very similar.

This is how people argue on Bluesky. You did not win the argument if you threaten to block when someone continues to argue against your points. @enitoni.dev

@mbletst.bsky.social my apologies, sir. Please do let me know if anything happens with the reported comment thing. I thought you were a liberal calling me a bitch, and I wanted to expose the hypocrisy. But I guess you're just a funny edgelord, which I don't mind that much honestly.

This is a good early conversation to explain the kind of individuals who shun X and think BlueSky will be different for them. I had but the briefest interchange with @archaeologytube.bsky.social in response to his expression that he wished there was no alternative archaeological movement, and this:

Does anyone else think it was a bit of faux pas or even Freudian slip that the initials for this platform are B.S.?

More evidence that the Internet is a simulation...
