Ironically, the level of vitriol in response to @jemima.bsky.social's column on the echoey nature of the BlueSky chamber has matched any twitter pile on I've ever seen, only with an added dose of self-righteousness. (1/11)

You sure it’s the pile-on that’s self-righteous and not the stupid column we’re reacting to

It’s fine to call the column stupid. I think it’s a bit much to call JK a Nazi. But I don’t think that should be banned speech or anything, I just think it’s a bit OTT.

Not sure what OTT means. (Is that an abbreviation they use in Stoke Newington?) In any case I’m not calling her anything, just noting that she wrote and published a whole column about how she prefers spaces filled with, in her words, vile racist content.

Seems pretty clear

No I think the point here is that a genuine digital town square no longer exists *precisely because* of what Elon has done over there. As I say, Jemima has criticised the turn Twitter/X has taken before and caught shit from Elon himself. I agree could have been better edited to avoid confusion.

The digital town square is the internet. It's not a service.
