Condescending, much? I didn't 'flee' Twitter, I just had enough of wading in a cesspit owned by uber narcissist Elon Musk. If that makes me a 'lefty', so be it.

Good. Just can we please, please have an edit button?

Come on now. You can do better. "After the Na** takeover at Elon Musk's Twitter, the people who didn't want to fuel fascism fled to Bluesky." CEO Jay Graber might want to watch what is happening over at Target before he invites the Na**s to takeover this platform Social media is becoming AM radio

At least she doesn't have the crazy eyes yet? Time will tell if she and bsky leadership are just more corporate monsters. But in the meantime, here we are!

Just give us a damn edit button

As long as the fascists and cult loons are left to marinate in their own disgusting bile, I’m cool With it.

I didn't leave Twitter till I started to get suspended for having a voice or an opinion - I also was never rude either, Just stated facts - Even here on Bluesky, I abbreviate not popular words rather than upsetting people - I did the same over on Twitter too -

I like abandoned better. Left on the side of the road like a self combusting cyber truck.

‪ In fact, it was anti-far right who abandoned X. This includes Lincoln Project and many climate scientists who were fed up with deluge of X's fake news and conspiracy theories. Contrary to what Wired says, it's X that can't take a joke. X's idea of ​​humor is based on humiliation and cruelty.

Near as I can tell the intellectuals also fled the oligarch controlled platform promoting conspiracies, idiocy, and hatred. Let's hope that as BlueSky becomes more popular and lucrative Graber doesn't conform to the old Power Corrupts motif, or we'll be seeking new spaces again

The open-source decentralized nature is key to keeping a power-hungry monster like Musk disinterested. Keep up the great work, Bluesky!

i mean the moderation policy here is quite literally anti-homeless architecture but go off

NO It is a sanctuary for the Woke who are persecuted by Right Wing Extremist Nazis. They have Twitter, TikTok and Facebook they are not welcome here it is a local community for local people 🙂

Hooray!

they have lofty ambitions for all types of SM, including taking on video platforms...

Anything to stick it to Musk

Lord knows us trans folk left to not be constantly harassed and humiliated like back on Twitter. It's even worse now on the hellsite supposedly.

She’s not wrong… yesterday, a person whose bio includes #MAGA commented politely to disagree w/a post I made. I replied that we’ll have to agree to disagree because “reasons”and thanks for courteous response. He replied,”Thank you, best wishes.” This place is so not that place..

I guess anyone who is pro Democracy and anti fascist is a lefty.

Unless you're palestinian apparently. It's time journalists ask her point blank why bluesky keeps deleting palestinian accounts.

Instagram is for advertisers, twiXter is for bots and ghouls … honestly if we don’t trash our smart phones and start completely over … BlueSky is kinda all that’s left.

What we had thought, in the beginning, that Twitter would be?

noooooo we do not want that

Why are normal people called lefties?

I hope you all push for a more inclusive platform protecting the speech and lives of marginalized folk actively. While this letter specifically addresses the suppression of Palestinians, please keep in mind this fight goes beyond that - including removing content from artists for nsfw material.

But it's not for Nazis, right? Right?

Yes let the ladies take over.

shouldn’t this article also be for everyone?

Another social media savior promising to rescue us from the last social media savior! Bluesky's 'revolution' sounds delightfully familiar like every cocktail party where someone declares they'll reinvent conversation. Meanwhile, we're all still just gossiping, aren't we?

I was never on Xwitter. I came here from Meta Hell.

I’m not a ‘leftie’- I left Twitter because it was full of bots, flooded with adverts, run by a moron and populated by a lot of weird people. BlueSky seemed to be like Twitter used to be. And so far, it still is and it’s getting better all the time.

Bluesky needs an easy way to suppress repetitive tweets like this one.

It should never be for maga 🤷‍♀️

Lefties and centrists! Yes Bluesky is what twitter was at one time. But less polluted than twitter was when I started using around 2015. The way twitter was meant to be. Now of course it’s a rats nest of bots and right wing ideologues.

Someone repeats some Fox news talking point? *checks bio* Yep, 24 followers. *mute* *block*

This is definitely a less toxic environment for social interaction.

Prove it. Show us. You'll never have more good will than you do now. Carpe diem.

Just keep assholes like musk out of it. If he ever has anything to do with it I'm leaving.

Not if they're Palestinian apparently. Can't be a day that ends in y if there's not a US technocrat committing genocide.

Well yeah, of course I left. I got attacked for being queer and knowing the Holocaust was real.

lefties You mean decent thinking human beings, right.

More like all the SANE people migrated to Bluesky.

Good!
