Imagine thinking you're "combating" the right by hanging out on a platform it owns, governed by algorithms it has programmed, exposed every day to a torrent of deranged content it has chosen for you.
Much more plausible is that you slowly become brain poisoned & lose perspective.

IMO it's hard to combat the dangerousness of the right by participating in a platform where they aren't present.
I think the best way to explain the X vs Bluesky preference is whether a person thinks the left is more annoying than the right is dangerous.
The reason so many Noah Smiths end up on the X side of that equation is that while the left annoys them personally, the right mostly endangers other people.
