Is Bluesky only filled with tankies?
Or are they mostly Chinese and Russian bots to help fuel our own internal divide now that we've left Twitter?
Would their followers even care if they were?

When Trump and Rubio talk about "censorship of American thought" what they really mean is "any statement or claim which angers Peter Thiel or Elon Musk and which is hostile to the Nazi/Fascist/Pétainiste parties across Europe that they are funding.

I never again want to hear about how the Republican Party is the party of national security. You don’t incinerate our diplomatic capacity & violate all of our treaty commitments if you care about national security.
Context for Trump withdrawing dozens of ambassadors
*China has invested heavily in expanding diplomacy
*The US has significantly degraded soft power
*The US already has scores of diplomatic vacancies

If you take every penny every billionaire has, it wouldn’t pay for 1 yr of expenses
The annual interest on the national debt is about 1 trillion dollars.
The annual cost of healthcare is 4T after admin. Then get rid of the military budget.

Obviously a lot of people on Twitter like to exaggerate how bad Bluesky is… but this problem still IS pretty bad, and it keeps people away, and it’s eminently solvable. You solve it by ensuring repeat bad actors lose their accounts. Unfortunately the site’s leaders are afraid of these users
Oh, I think this website's reputation as a place where meanspirited leftists will attack you for expressing ideas outside their groupthink or will try to main character you for entertainment isn't entirely off base. I think it's overstated by its enemies, but there is an undercurrent of that.
