A classic litmus test is the Daniel Penny trial.

Search on X and he is a hero, search on Bluesky and he is a villain.

This whole situation is totally unsatisfactory, on that basis both platforms are flawed, so I suggest staying where there is more content to trawl.

Vote for X!

I'm not on social media at all, so it was a genuine question.

I'm rather puzzled about this "right up your alley" projection on your part. I'm not in any camp and I actually detest echo chambers.

Whatever you say, anyway. Libsoftiktok has been complete bull ◊◊◊◊ since it's inception.

We can argue minutia, but I'd call this a discussion forum (or BBS), whereas social media adds "followers, groups, and lists", feeds that are subscribed to and algorithms that drive content and maximise engagement through approval and outrage. I don't consider that to be the case on a discussion forum.

It may surprise you to know that this very forum has those features.

I don't see a list of followers, nor do I see suggestions on what I should be reading or endlessly-scrollable newsfeeds.

To be fair, those features are largely not used, and may in fact have been disabled in this instance, but the old forum had lists of "friends" and groups you could follow. And if you look at What's New above, you'll see the endlessly-scrollable news feed you're not looking for.

Anyway, it's kind of irrelevant. Let's go back to what we were talking about.
 
I don't care what the name on the account is, I care about the content, which is closely referenced. "Without data, you're just another person with an opinion."

I don't see any content there. I see a random nobody with a slide show giving themselves credit with a statement saying "featuring evidence from" and a list of names. The reason the name on the account is important, I assumed this would be common sense but here we are, is that if they have a history of taking "evidence" out of context, or cherrypicking then no matter what they're saying it's pretty ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ useless, isn't it?

That being said, you didn't actually show anything. You said, "Does bluesky got this?" with an ugly graphic. Why should anyone bother to even look at it? I don't have an X account so that's all I'd see is that dumb ass graphic. What are you getting at?

Twitter doesn't allow you to see anything beyond the opening post (including replies voicing disagreement) unless you're logged in. Bluesky lets you see it all.

Oh no, Twitter is the actual echo chamber 🙄

Yea, that's pretty annoying but I posted a workaround upthread that'll allow you to view all the Twitter you want without logging in. None of this suggested for you stuff and, if you have an adblocker, no ads.

Here's an example.


Whatever you do, don't use that site to search out LibsofBluesky
