Well, yeah, but that's kind of the thread topic.

Agreed, yeah, but that makes Bluesky the escape. Totally, totally get that. The Resistance is more into the clash, kind of by definition.

Fair enough. Different strokes, I guess.
 
If you don't like it, don't join.

Or, join Bluesky and stay on Twitter as well. Or, find somewhere else more to your liking.

Is this somehow speaking to where The Resistance will post? Are you saying they are going to post... you know, somewhere to their liking? Cause I gotta say, I don't see why you'd post that.

If you think the position that there are only two sexes labels someone a "right wing troll" then you're pretty divorced from reality.

I think the anti-vaxxerism, election denial conspiracy theories, and Nazi propaganda contribute, too

I wonder if the actual, logical place for "The Resistance" would still be Twixer? That's where the stuff they want to resist will still be. Or maybe the dog pile would inevitably drown them out?

I have strong suspicion the people currently enjoying their experience on Bluesky free from the “Debate me bro” meathead culture don’t really give a ◊◊◊◊.
 
Interesting debate here and it occurs to me that the 2 sides look at the purpose of social media in fundamentally different ways.

From one side I hear the word debate used constantly. If you view and use social media as a marketplace of ideas, a means to debate, hear opposing viewpoints and such, then naturally you would want a place like twitter that now has little moderation. You will be willing to endure some vile postings by despicable people if it means that all viewpoints are allowed, even your own.

For many others like myself, this is not why they use a microblogging site. Many people couldn't care less about participating in a great marketplace of ideas and just want to see animal videos or police updates or memes etc etc etc. People like that are sick and tired of having toxic politics shoved in their faces by algorithms that drive engagement by enraging people.

I use it to glean breaking information so I can use it to my benefit. I couldn't care less about debating politics with people there. I don't care to have toxic viewpoints and pornography presented to me daily. If that means the site I use is a little heavy on moderation like what bluesky has done with the babylon bee, so be it. I'll trade that for supporting a man who has platformed nazis 7 days a week.
 
I think you must have been doing Twitter wrong all these years. I don't have anything at all shoved at my by algorithms.
 
The trans lobby is practically running BlueSky as far as I can see. They tend to run away from places that don't ban or censor statements pointing out biological reality.

You see all trans all the time and a bit of EV hate, you've said you yourself. I would consider those things being shoved at you. And you get this at Bluesky, like we keep saying, you reap what you sow.

You see what you want to see on BlueSky AND Twitter, that's how they both work.

It's been my impression that the Resistance's goal is fighting Trump first and foremost, not playing whack-a-mole with trolls.

Good luck with that. Seriously. Not sure how BlueSky fits into that ambition though.

I see what I want to see. I've acquired quite a lot of gender critical accounts in my following list, to add to the heap of Scottish independence supporters I started with. Some of them overlap. I've added a few pro-EV accounts recently, and find they're good at finding cat toys to bat. And then there are the animal rescue charities and the arts organisations and all sorts.

The point is, I can't prevent other people from seeing things I don't like.

Thanks. A safe space to plot and scheme and discuss? Not sure, I'm not on there.

You're not a moderator. That's what moderators do. And it's been shown the BB wan't banned.
