It's hard to avoid the conclusion that Bluesky has been a net negative for US politics. They corralled everyone on the left into a little glass fishbowl where they shout at one another & everyone else ignores them. Meanwhile, all the pols & institutions stayed on X & are being dragged farther right.

Could it be that Xitter's incentive strategy changed to drag (yank) things farther right and that's why "everyone" on the left left? And for the pols and institutions that stayed, well, maybe they didn't need a whole lot of dragging. Panem et circenses, digital style.
