Bluesky was literally meant to be a cryptobro social network for grifters, LinkedIn sludge, and libertarians who know way too much about age of consent laws.
Jack Dorsey *left* when instead of weird and off-putting cryptonerds, trans people started hanging out here.
Der Vorwurf, seit neuestem wäre „alles zu politisch“ & deshalb brauche es eine „Rückkehr zum gesundem Menschenverstand“ ist eine Nebelkerze. Früher war auch alles mögliche „politisch“. Wer von den bestehenden Verhältnissen profitierte, fühlte sich dadurch nur nicht gestört. 🤷🏻♀️

When you see the very people who used big platforms to dismiss your work as alarmist and your analysis as impossible three years ago writing op-eds now using even stronger language. I know, I know, it doesn’t matter. Better late than never. Still, annoying enough for a skeet.
