What evidence do you have that bluesky is already an echo chamber? Serious question as I haven’t used it yet. Could it also be that people who left Twitter are simply less politically minded, and by definition will be less combative if they

The west has placed sanctions on Russia. This means western institutions will be penalized for doing business with Russia. Therefore, removing Russian contributors is how these institutions comply with the sanction. I’m struggling to unders

Your mention of novels and emotion is a false equivalence because novels are richly authored, edited and long form. We have an entire generation of people who grew up on short form text as their primary way to communicate electronically. In
