ngl bluesky, for having 3 million users, still feels desolate, yet still retains that Twitter shitshow vibe

@PurpCat lol yup

you know, what is it witth these alternatives pulling the same shit? reminds me of vidme and odysee and the top videos were politics, whining about youtube and....that's about it.

@koimoa @PurpCat Because the migrations are politically motivated, not feature-motivated. Everyone likes Big Platform, but certain people don't like the culture or get censored. Alternative A opens its doors, and the first people motivated to go there are those people, who instantly turn their sub-culture into the main site culture simply by being the first large numbers. People jumped to Bsky because they didn't like Elon Musk's politics, not because it had a better UI or feature set.
@PunishedD @koimoa bluesky is literally a left wing version of alt-tech complete with the same problems.

Just like how CNN did that one alt-tech video with the woman going on about how it was all shit like moon man videos, bluesky is literally only focusing on Elon Musk and Donald Trump and as one person on another instance put it, it feels like a retirement home for 2010s socjus types on Twitter.

Because it literally was, if we were talking about Bitchute. Seriously, nothing but culture war, conspiracy, and other political shit on there. The few non-political stuff were just mirrors from Youtube and possibly not even by the original creator.

@xianc78 @koimoa @PunishedD yes and that's what bsky is like but on the left. It's literally nothing but political garbage and the worst of Twitter

@PurpCat @koimoa @PunishedD Are we talking ResetEra levels of bad? Is it the type of SJWs who claim that words like "crazy", "lame", and "dumb" are "ableist"?

@xianc78 @koimoa @PunishedD it's literally like in that pic I posted, someone posting a dilation pic to win an argument.

@PurpCat @koimoa @PunishedD I've seen worse. I use to lurk block-happy Mastodon instances like lgbt.io or forums like Raddle (basically Reddit for far-leftists) out of pure bile fascination and you will have the exact people that I'm talking about.

I even remember one person complaining about gender dysphoria being removed from the DSM because of the "ableist connotation that having a mental disorder is a bad thing".

I tried going on Raddle once. Got into an argument with them over something stupid and left. Can't remember exactly what it was.

@Hyolobrika @koimoa @PunishedD @PurpCat Raddle's only saving grace is that it's completely FOSS, unlike Reddit which was only partly open source before becoming completely closed source around 2017-2018. Their wikis also have *some* useful information (like Internet privacy), but it should always be taken with a grain of salt.
