Accessibility is a political issue! Energy use and foreign trade are political issues! Wealth and the ability to access technology are obvious political issues. Even if we leave aside what a racist, misogynist, queer-phobic place X is, to pretend that tech isn't political is willfully blind.

I don't think anyone should kill themselves but if I caught myself caring about which websites people used or if my preferred website was cool, I'd kill myself.

I left once the nazi turned it into a child porn factory, is that still happening?

What a remarkably silly post. Come on, John, what are you doing?

"I'm not a minority and I genuinely do not care about child abuse" That's you, that's what you sound like John you fucking grub.

I’m in favour of paying for services rather than having them funded by ads and personal data, but not in this case.

I’ve read Daring Fireball for years. X is a nazi bar. If you think, that’s where the action is. Well… you can make the associations yourself. Unfollowed.

I love going into the comments on X. Takes about five of them for someone to be toxic (stated mildly). I rarely experience that on Bluesky.

Always knew there was something off about you.

I'm sure there were places that felt "remarkably friendly & inclusive" in the Third Reich too – assuming you were the right kind of person & behaved in the right kind of way & were willing to over look a few "slips." But really, why support a fascist & his platform. Should be an easy "Hell no!"

This, 100%, unfollowing, no longer recommending to anyone, at least these enablers are making it very clear how patently immoral they are.

Sad

I didn't realize that pointlessly trolling Bluesky users, or boosting a Musk business was necessary. What does this article add. You are gaslighting for what purpose? No one is mad, just disappointed that someone we follow for insightful analysis can't see past the end of his own privileged nose.

Damn, you're really not capable of thinking anyone different from you in any way is actually a person. What a shame your worthless parents failed you so thoroughly.

Disappointing is exactly it. I'm happy his unique experience didn't upset him on X, I guess.

Great! delete your account here and fuck off

You just had an interview with atproto podcast & then go on to do this. It feels not great to me? Like, did the trillionaires get to you? I dunno it just seems so weird.

this says more about you than it does about bsky

Damn. You must be jonesing for a new apple release really fucking hard

His contacts at Apple

Wow, that sucks. I left the moment musk bought it and I haven't looked back. I hope the whole shitshow, along with musk and everything he owns, gets swallowed up by the sea.

All the cheerful CSAM and racism a Nazi pedo could ever want.

I'm not angry. I'm sad. it bums me out watching people like you twist themselves into knots to avoid looking at the Truth of the world. I want y'all to get the help that you need

Skill issue

yes everyone’s angry at the sad choices you’ve mad for yourself. So so so angry. We aren’t mad John, just disappointed.

Most of you are too young to know what a shill Gruber has always been. The fact that his blog is still a thing (I had no idea, but it's existence gave me a chuckle) suggests that he believes that it represents something like a legacy, and that fact is just more sad than anything else.

I'm just from now on assuming every post like this is bait bc it has no value beyond that, so here's your engagement, dweeb

X is suing the state of Minnesota to overturn their non-consensual pornography law. That’s a deal breaker for me

Humiliating

I've not had anyone send me pictures of ovens when talking about my Jewish grandfather kicking Nazi ass in WW2 on Bluesky. But guess where I HAVE experienced that?

This statement alone warrants an intervention or 48 hour medical hold alone

Well John is a conservative cis white dude who is basically Apple marketing so yeah they're probably not going at him with slurs.

Middle aged white guys without personalities, sporting goatees and glasses 😅

People who peddle child porn.

Anyways, when the racist fuckstick literally calling for ethnic cleansing and comparing Romani people to wolves saying they should be murdered is enthusiastically agreeing with your take, maybe just fucking MAYBE you should reconsider your take.

Actually, *that* should be the cheat code for finding nazi stuff (and even more if you follow tech). Because obviously if you frequent 🇯🇵 or 🇮🇩 xitter (or some specific communities) those are fairly insulated from the changes elmo did. But even just if you think democracy is "nice" it isn't inclusive.

This shit is so depressing

I’m trying to avoid nazis and CSAM.

The op has got to be getting paid for this. Agreeing with all the far right Nazi pro rape influencers trying to wish into existence that Bluesky is dead? He can leave and fo

"Look, child pornography is bad. But how else do you expect to stay up to date on what Apples marketing team thinks?"

Gruber posted this across all his socials. I didn’t look at Twitter but Bluesky has a significantly higher engagement rate than Threads (even though he got ratio’d to death on comments/likes). Threads active user count is irrelevant imo because no one there’s engages on anything

The “free speech absolutist” declared “cis” an offensive slur and targeted use of the term. The n-word? The free speech hero is on the case.

This place is hopelessly miserable lol and it’s why it won’t last

I quit reading when I got to the point about how great this X account was bsky.app/profile/merr...

It's a Nazi cesspool. You just find Nazis pleasant and cheerful. And given your past history of rooting for serial sexual assaulter Louis CK, I think you are just morally cretinous at best and at worst an actual Nazi trying badly to hide in sheep's clothing.

I'd rather be an ethical and moral tiny fish in a less popular social media pond than one in Elon Musk's more popular giant unethical, immoral, right-wing cesspool site.

Idk, dude. It being owned and run by a literal white supremacist feels like a good reason not to use it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Angry? Nah. Just disappointed that someone as smart as you chooses to rationalize away the hate, fear, and destructive disinformation peddled every second on that platform. Cheerful? Getthefuckouttahere.

No, that never occurred to him. His version of reality must be imposed on the rest of humanity.

>> The culture on X today is remarkably friendly and inclusive. It is a cheerful place this has not been my experience this year

sad stuff

"the only place these posts go"?

The big draw im missing at twitter is the ceo and svp of marketing for apple having a phony marketing “chat” about pikachu? Is this a bit?

Somebody check this man's hard drive.

Oh, so this is just who this guy is. Got it.

Let me put it this way I didn’t need THIS post of his to stop caring about him it was THAT take

the place with all the child porn and misogyny?

Congratulations for feeling at home on a pedo site

No I just think it's gross you are fine with nazis and CSAM but that's a you problem. I'm eating ice cream.

shut up nerd

I have started looking at Twitter again in recent weeks. But I do so with an ad blocker on, only on the website, and I don't post or interact with posts. I hate that so many people are still posting there, but it is sadly true that many people I follow never left.

It’s filled with Nazi dorks, and even if it wasn’t you’d still be supporting the actions of a fascist, white supremacist billionaire by going there. “Action” or no, it’s morally wrong to use it.

Life has improved, comrades. Life has become more joyous. And when life is joyous, work goes well.

You were very wrong.

No. It is not.

Angry? No. Bewildered? Absolutely. I don't post there anymore but I do go back to visit every so often and the place is just as filled with racist, chud trash as it ever was. Every 8th post I see is either wildly stupid or actively evil. So, yeah, I'm bewildered that you don't see it.

"But baby meat *tastes* good"-ass take.

basic trolling though. I expected better from a Gruber. Hans, Simon... blockbuster gold!

yikes

Predicting widespread disagreement about this isn't the clever deflect you think it is.

No matter what @gruber.foo says, X has become nazi playground these days, where Musk and his friends/interest have free fare to write just about anything. Even if it has all the action in the world, I simply refuse to enter in that load of bullshit.

lovely cat ❤️❤️

Bella the cat loaf agrees.

Hang on! Important floof break! Everyone take one minute with your furry/feathery/scaly/or otherwise companion.

Check the stats on where your traffic to this clown post comes from.

"The culture on X today is remarkably friendly and inclusive. It is a cheerful place" All I ever see on that hell site is arguing and people saying racial slurs, uncensored, while X says "this isn't a violation of the rules" Dick ride Elon harder.

Boring and simple take, from a boring and simple mind.

Not remotely angry, just glad to know that I can safely ignore you 👍

It’s also absolutely not gone and it’s crazy that he thinks it is

Big fan of CSAM hey?

Nah, it just makes us wonder what's on your hard drive

How many followers did you lose when the bot farm blew up?

bsky.app/profile/anil...

I mean, correct but, that’s pretty much been Grubers M.O. for like 10 years now. He can’t clear his throat without a thousand words and half a dozen footnotes.

Your entire post could easily have been an internal voice memo. JFC.

If I walk into a business and it has Fox News on its TVs, I turned around and walk out. It doesn’t matter to me how cold the beer is or how good the pasta is or how good any other aspect of the business is. If they’ve got Fox News on the TV they’re not getting my time or money. Same with X.

We all thought you were a better person than this, and now you're doubling down on your evil, selfish choices. Shame on you.

Angry? No, just second-hand embarrassment

Wading through nazi shit and grokslop and csam to be the first to slurp the Apple kool-aid, cool man tell us more

This is the **best** response.

Yeah I’m getting there too. The AI stuff is also off putting.

Imagine writing something because it is interesting, etc. instead of because it will make people mad.
