"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.

Bluesky is a liberal bubble. Its users are a self-selected group of mostly-liberals. These responses show this. Some responses equate conservatism with “fascism,” but conservatism is a direction of thought. We may choose to be conservative about some things (i.e. grammar) and liberal about others.

It's not a bubble. Right-wingers simply do not have platform-level engagement rules to exploit here to artificially inflate the reach of their repellent views the way they do elsewhere.

The existence of nefarious platform-level biases on X doesn’t rule out the hypothesis that Bluesky’s user base is a self-selected, ideologically-aligned group. How would you prove that Bluesky offers a representative diversity of opinion?
