This all already happened, it's called bluesky, and the "decent" (people who agree with you on politics) people had their exodus already

- bitwize 1mo agoYou mean the people who hate Nazis? Yes, they're not on X.

- orwin 1mo agoTo me, the divide Twitter/Bluesky is the divide between terminally only idiots and terminally online simpletons (you decide which is which). Decent people are on neither.
- dminik 1mo agoI see that they're not on HN either.
- Gareth321 1mo agoI don't know how HN has remained as chill as it has compared to other social media platforms, but I'm grateful. I can still have deep conversations here without people losing their minds and yelling expletives and death threats. It feels a lot like forums or Reddit back in the 2000s.
- Zetaphor 1mo agodang and team tread carefully but carry a big stick
- tekla 1mo agoHN remains chill because 99% of political dissent is squashed

- noir_lord 1mo agoMostly reasonable moderation does it, I’ve seen a noticeable uptick in green accounts posting slop/weird stuff but I just flag them and move on. HN isn’t perfect but it’s doesn’t have to be to still have value and yeah it does feel a lot like the older web at least more than most things do.
- josh_p 1mo agoThere are reasonable people who can grasp nuance on both platforms, but you can't deny that twitter/x has become known as a place that allows Nazi politics on it. Just look Elon, the owner.. It's seriously disingenuous to frame the bluesky vs twitter/x as a difference in political opinion.
- mitxela 1mo agoIsn't nazi and non-nazi a political opinion difference though?
- josh_p 1mo agoIf you’re being pedantic, sure. Edit: to elaborate, it’s bullshit that I need to pretend that Nazis have anything to say that’s worth listening to in the name of “polite political discourse”. It’s an ideology built on hate and violence toward others.
- efdee 1mo agoBlueSky is so much more toxic than Twitter/X ever was. And I say that as a left-leaning centrist.
- twobitshifter 1mo agoEh, I think you may have just been in a tighter echo chamber on twitter. If you are on bluesky the discover tab is considered a mess and may provide you with things that you aren’t interested in.
