You mean like how Meidas trashed Joe and Mika today for attempting to provide coverage of a president (even if we hate him)? I was severely disappointed in what was an insanely deliberate attack on MainStream media. It sure felt like you were growing your brand and not just doing what is right.

The media chose a side long ago- it wasn’t ours

Why can’t people get that idea about life in general Brett? Just don’t be a d*ck

EXACTLY It’s just a WOKE thing Wonderful Opinions Kind Engagement ✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿🦋

✨️✨️✨️

It’s not about red or blue—it’s about basic respect. When decency becomes political, we’ve lost the plot. Let’s keep it human.

It's like one thing to differ politically it's another to constantly have to deal with shit slinging

If “echo chamber” or “liberal” or “progressive” means pro-democracy…guilty as charged with no apology.

This IS who Bluskies are and it is lovely. I have already had some DM's from D*ckheads so let's weed them out.

Lol ✊🏽

I just peeked in on X. Replies are full of trolls. It's hard to find a legit comment.

I like food. I found them, too.

Feeds are a great way to find "like minds" and "kindred spirits" - never could do that over at TFP (the former place)

#Cats #Kittens #Dogs #Puppies

I’m going to sound stupid now but how do you find all these cool feeds?

Exactly this. I think I tried to talk about several different things on X besides politics, and all I got was gross abuse.

Yeah I got into the Anime algorithms but quickly realized it was absolutely not MY generation of Anime because I guess I'm dumb lol

I've been enjoying that part of the platform. Immensely.

Exactly.

All but assholes are welcome.

Who tf cares what the media is saying? Liberals are always on the defensive - fuck that we need to own it. I’m thrilled seeing like minded people on here, it gives me hope that we’ll make it through these next 4 yrs.

The golden rule is cool and the platinum rule is even more so.

I’m totally cool having respectful discussion based on facts. What’s not cool are the trolls and cultists who form their own “facts” based on what they want them to be, demean anyone who is different than them and resort to name calling to, I guess, make themselves feel better.

You’d think all the “Christians” would understand the golden rule.

Don't be a Musk. Same thing.

Don't be a Richard is how I live. Treat people decent, be polite. MKes life so much better.

Don’t be Leigh Dragoon 😁

Not being a dick is important. Start no shit, but end any that comes your way - blocking is effective and worthwhile when asshats are encountered.

But if you must be, don't be this d*ck!

The bar is just too high for some.

See that's what I have always said. When I used to disagree on Twitter, it never turned into a horror match. We would give our opinions. Even one of us would state we were wrong or at an impasse. Simple as that. Now it has turned into an insane asylum.

The problem is it’s not a conversation when you post an opinion and get called a dumb libtard as a response. Where’s the conversation in that?

I think the point is not to nitpick for the sake of creating an argument.

The site is simple if you stop looking at it as a political tools (the same way no one looks at instagram, facebook or LinkedIn as political platforms). It is an open source platform that allows you to curate your own feed based on your interest instead of having 1 algorithm imposed on you.

Just don’t be a maga moron

That’s not it at all, Susan. I’m just done with arguing for the purpose of arguing. It’s pretty transparent and when I see it I disengage from it.

What I am looking for is a place to find people who want a better world, and make plans that help people stay safe and build a healthier future. Not another place to argue. I am a builder, not a debater. But that’s just me? 🤷‍♀️

We moved here because there was no honest discourse to be had on Twitter or Facebook. They are designed to stir up negative discourse with people refusing to be genuine with one another. You can spread ideas and opinions over the internet, but you can't change someone else's once they're sure of it.

Continuing on. Being 3RD Party, I expect to have several disagreements with some people here. Especially if they start spouting the 3 LIES about voting 3rd Party. 1: Wasted Vote. 2: Vote for "other" Guy. 3: THIS Election too Important.* *3=Boy Who Cried Wolf. Even so, I'll try to keep it civil. 🙂

As my handle suggests, I am a 3RD PARTY Member and Voter. Ever since I nearly gave my Republican parents Heart Attacks by Registering with a 3RD Party, I have fought diligently against the 2 EVILS SYSTEM. While I did vote for Harris this time, I haven't given up the fight yet. Nor should the Left.

This is 100% right. In a normal time with normal politics, I tend to lean a little right. But there is no right and left anymore. There’s insanity and reality. I choose reality. If that means voting for liberals I don’t always agree with, that’s OK with me.

Old people have seen a lot over the years. We know things.

It's not our fault much of the Conservative Movement has abandoned decency as a value. Liberals have not. That speaks volumes.

It’s just a platform without assholes. It’s all we wanted in life. I don’t care about left, right or center just don’t be a dick.

I agree, though with many Republicans "decency" seems to mean Democrat given how assisuously they eschew it.

I've noticed that as well. I felt so bad for Russell Moore when he posted that he would be on Bluesky and was verbally attacked on that post by so many magas, rabidly and cruelly. And these are people who call themselves Christ followers. And then they disparage the site as well. Sad!

Once again, proof the media are not our friends and are not for the American people.

And that's why we ignore the MSM because Fuck that noise for the better part of a decade now.

We don’t willingly follow the pied piper

Why do I feel the entire country is slowly marching to the gas chambers? I’m in a dark mood today💙

Yes

Anybody ready for the conversation that leftists are actually centrists and rightists are actually extremists?

MSM doesn’t get it. They never have 🙄

Corporate legacy media can go screw themselves.

And that IS how we got here

Lots...... www.google.com/search?q=med...

If by "liberal" they mean 99.9% less Fascist, and Nazi content, I won't argue.

So true!

It's pretty simple. Twitter has become a place where you can say what you won't say in public from fear of retaliation. You say that at work. You're fired. At school, suspended. In public places, ass kicking. In your family, uninvited. Twitter....no problems. Bluesky is like in real life.

let them come, as every new download hurts twitter and elon more and more lol

I am not deranged

There you go

It's also about boundaries, no different than those we that we have IRL. Twitter has none, it's like a pub at 3am in small town Alabama, and that not where most people wanna have meaningful conversations.

💙

That's spot on, Brett. I suspect I'd disagree with the politics of many of your supporters, for instance, yet we all seem to agree on the absolute indecency we see before us. Still our media portrays the obscene as an equal option. 😧

suno.com/song/e42ae4a... Their gaslighting chamber blurs it all together... They think culture wars is politics...

The media is guilty of sane washing trump's incoherent rambling, so I don't care what they think.

It is about decency, sanity, and patriotism. The trump party is treasonous.

As Jessiah from Pondering Politics says in every video - Democrats are the morally superior party. If they want to call our decency “liberal” I’ll take that as a huge W.

💯

This could be a place to debate and have smart conversations but over at the cesspool its argue, hurl threats and basically everything the 1A doesn’t protect.

Sooo, why aren’t they saying X is a Nazi, Klan platform? 🤔

Exactly! Someone is working hard to separate and divide us

To me liberal = Liberty

I think 🤔.. used to be a thing called CLUBS and people used to gather with other like minded people and socialize 🤗 If this is wrong? I don't want to be right.

I’d welcome a more balanced platform, but not at the expense of our decency here

Exactly. Here's another MAGA maggot to mute & block. democratsarestupid on bsky social.

are we safe yet .. can we move forward .. hope so

💯

Agreed!

💯🎯

I’m perfectly fine being on a platform that isn’t polluted with ignorant bigots and cousin fuckers. I want nothing to do w those people as they are the dregs. Call me as liberal as you want, I look down on those people and I think it’s acceptable to hold them to account.

Media is just mad there is no algorithm over here to elevate their bullshit

Bingo!

They're really telling on themselves by calling decency "liberal" and "leftist".

They want to divide us. They will use every tool they can to achieve that end. Unite and join the 💙 resistance.

You mean Trumptard trolls?

Truth and respect for others aren’t ideals that are exclusive to liberals. But they are certainly the antithesis of MAGA ideology which is epitomized by “they’re eating the pets.” There’s no reason why conservative viewpoints have to be based on lies and disrespect.

I'm fine with being around people who don't mind being fact checked.

It’d be nice if you guys could follow those of us on here who left X to come here to build a leftist community.

Honestly i hope the MAGA trolls stay on twitt! But then they have no identity without us libs so they will be coming here too!! Lmao 🤣

Mainstream media still sucks.

Bingo! It's a pleasure to actually have a conversation without a MAGA troll resorting to childish name-calling. It is about decency. Sadly, that stopped being a thing when the current owner took over.

MAGATS are idiots, ya know?

I'm a liberal, equal rights for all.

Yes and Liberals can fund Nazis too! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jsil...

Do they call X a “MAGA” platform? Or even Truth Social? Nope. But yeah. Sure. Tell us again how MSM is fair to both sides.

Bluesky is a superior product

It’s a stand against misinformation & the maga troll

I’m ignoring the gaslighting and labels. I don’t care what they think of us, they don’t care about our lives. The right needs every safe space there is—we just want discourse and dialogue.

Funny how the people who love to shout "free speech!" seem to think it's bad that Bluesky gives those of us on the left free speech.

Who cares what the mainstream media has to say anymore?! I’m boycotting their brand of misinformation (lies) and 1/2 truths (lies) to the public.

When I see outrageous cartoons or memes on here I unfollow or block them. It seems rude and hyperbolic.

109% agree and it's clarification of the desire to demean and control the narrative. Exactly what is their definition of liberal? From what I know, it's the will to respect or accept behavior or opinions different from yours or simply being open to new ideas. We know the MAGA cult can't do that.

Where morality lives.

I agree…

The media is always missing the point. They are USELESS

The media is so used to assholes being Republicans, that they don’t understand what is happening.

Couldn’t agree more. What are they calling X? They ought to call it what it’s become. The alt right disinformation network.

I am a liberal. I see your point but I feel this is a liberal platform. That’s my experience on here anyhow. These days,that’s a synonym for decency.

MAGA is like a disease that attacks the healthy part of your body.

Unfortunately decency is a mostly liberal trait.

I just canceled my X account. X is TRASH!

No one should hate liberal spaces. We stand for freedom. "Liberal can be traced back to the Latin word liber (meaning “free”), which is also the root of liberty ("the quality or state of being free") and libertine ("one leading a dissolute life")." Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

This is worth a follow.

left/right dichotomy

Fuck the Media! They will always argue, smart and decent people are „liberals“.

Well said. Not that magAss will understand.

there is no left right anymore it's now sane people versus an ignorant cult that has regained power and handed it to a dangerous narcissistic sociopath ... it will be a miracle if we survive this unscathed

Trumpistains politicize everything in order to weaponize it. Trump's skill set is limited, so this, lies & stochastic terrorism is about all he has. I just want to know who really thinks this election was legitimate?
