Well yeah, it's shitlib mecca. That's exactly what Twitter was before the Musk takeover, to a lesser degree.
they've been banning palestinians from their platform for getting too "uppity"; so if there are any leftists there, they've been shadow banned like many of us here are on instances like .world or the star trek instance
“Now now, be sure you remain calm and collected about the checks notes genocide”
spotted the single issue voter! lol
A Star Trek instance banned leftists?
that's what happened to me; i was as respectful as possible while expressing my opinion and i got vitriol from trekkies and a reddit style shadow ban from the star trek instance; i'm also not the only one.
Maybe we don't have to 'replace' Twitter in our lives. Just let it die.
the worst is people who act like staying on there is fighting some kind of good fight. like you're not gonna fix the adolf hitler website by posting, you're just justifying an addiction.
I'd forgotten how obnoxious twitter was. Self-righteous keyboard activism, totally delusional liberals, leftists screaming in to the void. Bluesky isn't even funny because the CHUDs aren't there, it's just the most loathsome liberal shitheads doing a victory lap because they found a new social media site. I didn't realize that so many people were deeply emotionally wounded by losing twitter. The whole thing just fucking sucks. Like I'm sure there are good communities but mostly what I feel looking at Bluesky is absolute certainty that the Libs are going to build themselves an iron-clad echo chamber to shut out everything happening in the world so they can have eternal brunch in peace and comfort.

my micro blogging 
it has been trash from day 1 really
The fact that you can remove the link to your tweet from any quote tweets on bluesky removes one of the fundamental aspects that make Twitter work (bullying annoying people)
people are just gonna screenshot dunk too. like, you can't stop "hey, get a loada this guy" posts
Posting finds a way
All the libs are very happy that it's "nice" and "joyful".
Idfk what hellsite they were on. Apparently there was some raft of weirdos who actually wanted to be on twitter.
Shoving your fingers in your ears to ignore the horrors of reality is what libs do best! In fact, it’s how many were seen walking into the DNC when confronted by protests for Gaza
I'm kinda glad all the people that were too dumb to leave twitter right after the purchase have a place to go... So I don't have to read their dumb ass takes.
Anyways I'm on kolektiva.social now. Fuck the police
mastodon is alright, but the constant struggle sessions exhausted me off that platform. some dumb shit gets said -> people get kinda mad -> mass defederations or your instance shuts down from the struggle sesh. repeat adnausim
Not much different then what happens around here, no?
hey, we're still kicking at least 
The same problem as MAGA spaces, it is all very boring because there are no competing groups.
This is the greatest virtue of the left; we fucking hate each other.
And think Vladimir Lenin betrayed the revolution.
Idk I just used Twitter to follow artists I like and bsky let's me do the same thing.
