Fair enough. Personally, I like to watch both sides, and it has been interesting to see conservatives becoming more favorable toward Twitter/X. If I were working on a social network (like Bluesky, the topic of this discussion), I would be watching Twitter/X closely right now to try to understand the effects that certain tweaks (such as moderation policy) may have.
- packetlost 3y agoAgreed! My own gut feeling is that it leaned pretty heavily left and it's now closer to center than ever, and people are noticing the delta. Every time I open BlueSky it's like 50% Liberal rage-bait and like 40% people posting mostly about their sexual and gender identities.
- djur 3y agoThe posts you see on Bluesky by default are the posts made by people you follow. There are other options to select whichever feeds you prefer. If you're seeing a lot of that content, it's because you're following people who post a lot of that stuff.
- packetlost 3y agoThis is not on my following feed, it's on discover.
- packetlost 3y agoI'd like to add, that I don't have a problem with people doing this: people should be able to express themselves however they want. I'm just not particularly interested in that type of content.
- bigstrat2003 3y agoTo be honest, I think Twitter (and other similar sites) are a huge negative for society no matter who dominates the echo chamber. Training everyone to dump 140-char hot takes as a dominant form of "discourse" has been a genuine evil for the world. Twitter delenda est.
