I’m loving how the right-wing bullies can’t get away with their hateful rhetoric from X on BlueSky.

I love that when I say "the good place" and "the bad place" everyone knows exactly what I'm talking about.

I’m finding the community here far more engaging and respectful, while still wickedly funny. Happy to be migrating to these friendlier skies.

Honestly the way “the media” is tut-tutting about Bluesky must mean everyone on here is doing something right.

Bluesky has grown by over 3M people in the last week — welcome!

With every wave of growth naturally comes an increase in moderation reports. Here’s a status report on how the Trust & Safety team is handling it:

Gowdy: You don't root out corruption at the DOJ by picking a corrupt person to lead it. Either the report comes out and is he not going to be the attorney general or the report doesn't come out and he is not going to be the attorney general

This narrative that the Democrats ignored the working class is really aggravating. Be specific. You’re talking about the white working class because the Black working class understood the stakes of this election just fine.

These need to make a comeback, officially. I’ve said it before, shortly after I joined here, but translucent controllers in a wide variety of colors were one of the best things from the late 90’s/early 00’s and it’s borderline criminal that they went away.

In the event that the United States completely implodes and collapses in on itself, you gotta admit, those first 8 seasons of The Simpsons were a pretty good contribution to the world.

Right, don’t fall for the “backlash” framing that absolves these people of agency.

They chose this, they will always bear the most responsibility for it.
I genuinely don’t have any blame or recriminations to share, and I’m not angry at anyone who wants to stop fascism in whatever way they can. Yes, we should learn from mistakes, but the fault for the rise of fascism lies with the fascists. Always and forever.
