I think it speaks volumes that right wingers criticize bluesky for being “liberal” and “left wing”, when it’s really just that hate speech isn’t allowed.

Bingo. I'm sick of the Maga coming in & saying we'll why can't we have a friendly debate? Well after 4 yrs yall denied facts and said racist/sexist/antigay shit and I no longer have the patience or time to waste on fighting with you. Simple as that. I'm just fucking done with it.

Whatever you want them to be. Go to Settings>Moderation>Lists and you can make any type of list you want. Hit “Subscribe” and choose “Block”, and any account that you add to that list will be blocked.

Be great if hate speech wasn’t allowed. Unfortunately I’ve seen a lot of hate written about the right. So is it only hate speech if the right do it. When it’s someone saying something that doesn’t offend you, does it stop being hate speech?

Sorry not been on here for a couple of weeks. Your statement isn’t very clear. Are you saying I’m talking shit or others are. It reads as though you’re saying some things are just shit and other is hate but you don’t clarify which. Can you be more concise. Thanks

Indeed. And that is literally THE conservative complaint about everything. e.g., "Universities are liberal propaganda machines that don't adequately reflect conservative values!" Well, no, actually. Knowledge and critical thinking tend not to mesh with the choice to be close-minded and ignorant.

I work for a non profit and we sent out our year end report about our programs that involved learning about Korean cooking, hosting a play about native Americans, and teaching kids to ride horses. Some people returned them complaining that we were woke. Really? Kindness is woke? Fuck that.

Oh noes! Why even bother criticizing bluesky. They're just upset there's fewer people to troll on twitter and we don't go for that here. They don't have a problem with partisan social media sites when it comes to truth social. Critical thinking/rational discussion aren't strong points for them.

Tbh this is also fueled in other countries than the US by the fact that the majority of accounts leaving (especially notorious ones) are on the left side and not really fond of contradictory debate... Hence the idea of them looking for "safe space" with everybody sharing their views or easily blockd

It's funny how a group of that literally have every medium at their beck and call are crying about not being able to be on this one. It's almost like they need us or something

They have already been allowed through apathy to increase their wealth, destroy fairness and now they want to destroy any chance of fair minded people to have a platform to bring them together and fight back

THIS WILL BE A THREAD! I just discovered something HUGE about BlueSky by accident! You know how FB and Twitter fucked up everyone's feeds to tell you what you're going to see, and from whom, and in what order? BlueSky has a way for you to take control of that! Instructions with pics to follow!

Apparently they were happy for all the "lefties" etc to leave Twitter yet they seem to want to follow us over here. It's as if they can't be content just being by themselves. Who would have guessed 😄

It started out as "I'm proudly woke because I see the stories about police murdering people and I know we have problem." Now it's just "Boohoo I hate woke-ism cause I can't say the N word"

They spent years trying to make "Liberal" a slur and it didn't work, except in their own extremist circles. But they're good for that, aren't they. Now they're trying to make "DEI" code for the n-word.

Absolutely! But so many people fall under DEI any person of color women etc. Growing up our parents motto you have to be 10 times better and sometimes that not enough! When you work your butt of go to top school despite being top of class you are DEI.

"Technically, going by the Merriam-Webster dictionary’s definition, WOKE means “aware and attentive to FACTS (especially facts of racial and social justice)". Those who use "woke" condescendingly show they are, in fact, not aware of injustice ⚖️ .

i saw someone yesterday who claimed theyre just here to have a good time, not stir up shit, and their name was literally MAGA, their icon was a MAGA hat, and their other posts were all about messing with liberals. sure bro, youre not here to stir shit, i believe you!

They know better heck some maga women I know say liberal men treat them better they both have crushes on liberal guys but don't wanna tell them they are for trump. Both these women watch progressive youtubers that do drama content. So they know better and say I just want another view.And say I don't

Fr man. And yesterday I came across two trump supporters one was talking about how laura loomer is around trump gave him a bad rep and made fun of kaura the other one who assumed she was democrat insulted Joe. She said no I'm rightwing. But media paints him aa a racist and Laure did not help him.

What's being pushed back on is propaganda. The folks I know in maga are repeating lies pushed by the rage media they've been groomed by. They've been convinced a bombastic character like 45 is who they want, much like tobacco cos said we should all smoke to have good health.

That's literally hate speech how can you not see it? You simply can't make such sweeping assumptions about everybody who disagrees with you, politically or ideologically.

Anyone who is right wing at this point has shown that they support rapists, pedophiles and abusers. If they support people who are like that, then they support the acts themselves. It’s time we start calling them out for it

You realise the world is bigger than the USA right? We have some pretty heavy hitting right wingers here in the UK who support none of those things. Also you can't possibly believe every conservative thinker in the USA really supports those things. It's a sweeping generalisation. Emotive nonsense.

That’s not what “hate speech” is Jed, hating someone’s *opinions* is not hate speech. Hate speech is attacking someone for belonging to a specific class of people, and, I suppose, being in a particular religion. Having shitty opinions is not an immutable characteristic.

Aye, I conceded I may be wide of the mark against the definition. But I won't concede that all GOP supporters support paedophilia and racism and are scum. Pretty sure that's not even close to being true and "scum" is just name calling.

Have been trying to make this point for years. They have a plan and have executed it very well. Moving what is considered normal to the right, with everything they do. Skewing belief systems. Before you know it we'll be talking about the morality of putting people in camps...nvm, that's happening.

Liberal = no longer interested in being cannon fodder for their rage farming echo chamber. They've had ten years to listen to reason. The time for reasoning is over and the time for standing up and fighting back is arriving.

What I like about this place is that, aside from a small specific faction here, it doesn’t have to be outrage or tiptoeing 24/7 on every issue. People can be angry & terrified about what is going on, but can also have more enjoyable, funny and needed exchanges without getting jumped on. Balance.🍸

and the mythical bias on Twitter before Elmo was really just that right-wingers were far more likely to engage in hate speech. The actual twitter algorithm already favored conservatives before Elmo -he just amplified it & got rid of restrictions on hate speech.

yes, it's run by Musk now. But, before Musk, Republicans used to whine & cry about alleged liberal bias of Twitter all the time. However, the fact is that even *before* Musk Twitter's algorithm favored conservatives. it's just that conservatives were far more likely to violate Twitter ToS.
