There are still a lot of major commercial and political and media presences there, which is going to mean a lot of people who report on and follow those entities have to maintain their accounts, and all the people who follow those people are still going to be there.
It’s still a huge platform, it’s still used by the majority of the world for all manner of applications. We easily get stuck in weird perspectives of the world and current events because a lot of algorithms push “satisfaction porn” on us, making it look like the current political administration is getting “DESTROYED” by this and that… it’s as false of a worldview as what they consume, it makes us all think that people like Musk are hurting and suffering as consequence of backlash.
If you browse around the fetid hangouts of the conservatives and Techbros who idolize these people, they’re in exactly the same black-hole where perspective cannot escape. “Why would anyone use Bluesky at this point? It’s failing every day!” they will proclaim while laughing at how unphased Musk is, and how much success they’ve been having.
Not making a both-sides argument, just a warning that the algorithm distorts your perspectives - it’s designed to make everyone feel validated and that can be incredibly damaging when you’re trying to affect change on the world.
It’s still owned by a nazi and put forwards nazi ideas. Staying on this platform just mean you accept to be a nazi-enabler because you think it provides you a personal benefit. AFAIC, people on X are selfish and spineless, fuck every single one of them.
Okay but as I said, it’s still a huge platform, it’s still used by the majority of the world for all manner of applications. Millions of people using it don’t even know or care who Elon Musk is. I don’t disagree that the nazis are a rising problem that will eventually sink the application, I’m just saying absolutism like this is kind of… conservativish and cartoonish.
This is absolutely 100% the exact kind of perspective bubble I am warning us all about.
This is absolutely 100% the exact kind of perspective bubble I am warning us all about.
And I’m warning all of us about the exact kind of perspective you have : convenience and indifference.
That’s exactly what brought us to the point we are, were an un-elected billionaire can do a nazi salute at the potus inauguration without facing any consequence.

I think that as soon as bluesky starts doing verification on accounts, more people will make the switch.

Frothing incoherence it is then, ok be well.
Lol, what does that even mean?
I am coherent with my beliefs, I don’t support businesses owned by and promoting nazi ideology.
You are coherent with you belief “that blablablaba insert pedantic rhetoric gonna stay on X”.
