Yet X is still way more diverse, whereas bluesky is mostly white, upper middle class westerners. It is funny to see the least diverse community I've come across pat themselves on the back for somehow being more tolerant. And also accuse users of other, more diverse platforms of "dog whistling".
I'm sure that a platform policed by said privileged groups is somehow better morally or something. Who was dogwhistling again?
- EA-3167 2y agoIf we're talking about diversity, X is mostly bots, so even less diverse than your characterization of Bluesky. You do make a valid point though, fortunately Bluesky is growing and X is not, especially where it counts with outlets like Nature Group, and companies like BMW. Nor is Bluesky policed by privileged groups, and as a bonus you don't even have to pay for some silly checkmark. What could be more egalitarian than "Free"?
- mardifoufs 2y agoI mean, I completely agree with you when you say that bluesky has more potential. I want bluesky to be a better twitter (I just don't think that twitter was that great even before it became X). But there's still a long way for it to reach out of the US and Europe. I don't know why, but X is extremely popular in places like the middle East (I was following the fall of Assad in real time), and even Asia, etc. It's something that doesn't even exist anywhere else.
