another competitor to Twitter... but this is the one! maybe

they craftily went w/ a logo reminiscent of Twitter's old one

& can make an account w/o giving phone number

http://bsky.app/

the captcha was tough... it asked me to say which pair was different w/ 5 pictures of varied cooked chickens next to varied uncooked birds... apparently it was as 1 uncooked bird was a penguin while the other uncooked birds were parrots & the cooked chickens were a red herring
(hadn't seen that type of captcha before... technically all 5 pairs were different & i'm willing to fight that in court...)

” can make an account w/o giving phone number”

it means that they already have other more discreet ways to collect your phone number when you create the account. Don’t be a fool. AI collects it automatically. The US regime authorities and Meta knows who you are.

Awww, leftists are retreating to a new safe space. Apparently the prospect of using an open forum platform that happens to be owned by a Trump supporter is too much for them.

Yeah. You guys are never allowed to accuse Fox News watchers of being stuck in an ideological bubble again. You're the exact same type of person as your boomer Hannity-loving granddad.

Lulz. They even report each other for wrongthink. XD

Hilarious that tumblefag is such an idiot that he's jumping on this train. All that platforms like this achieve for useful idiots like him is making their cognitive dissonance even more difficult to handle when they accidentally stumble across the truth.

Technically, Blue Sky is much more interesting than X.
But I doubt the funding. It won't be able to support massive user growth. So there will be changes at some point. In the worst case, BS will one day become as bad as X has become thanks to Musk. But until then, it will remain exciting.

Rugian:

Blue sky is more open than twitter.

I made the shift a while back after my feed became entirely overrun with bad zeroth order US focused political takes (I have here for that) and I was no longer seeing my professional networks and interests.

My feed is now blissfully free of irrelevant US politics bar one guy who is at least interesting.

Sure, if the main thing you want is right wing US political discourse, X is the place to be.

If you want to go back to 2012 type Twitter, Bluesky is the place to be.

The minute Bluesky adds trending topics, it will be better than Threads.

And anything is better than the Nazi site.

I have basically quit all social media. It feels so good.

Logging in to Twitter/X or any other similar social media is just a waste of time and reading and seeing all the shit there just makes me angry.

I still have my account on X but I don’t use it anymore. Okay, I check it for only a few quick minutes maybe once per month or every two months. But that’s it.

The only thing I use is youtube.

If blue sky moderates free speech then it'll end up like threads. Irrelevant.

It's funny that all these celebrities went to blue sky and not threads. Passively admitting threads doesn't have the reach they (really their publicists) want.

[sebfag (obvious liar, likely pederast, Regime sycophant)]: "Blue sky is more open than twitter."

lol
sebfag pretended it's more open right before saying that he's just constructed a bubble "blissfully free" of opposition thought. That's all that these retarded leftists want from media: a bubble where their lies can propagate without opposition, where they can say retarded things like that "men can be women" and not have to hold their breath wondering if there is a reasonable person among them who will disagree.

There is a "trans" activist on Twitter called "Esqueer_" (a dude pretending to be a girl) who admitted to blocking 1 million people for this effect. If you see leftists praising Blue Sky, it is entirely because the software does that for them automatically.

CC:

I've had conversations on Bluesky where I disagree with people about stuff.

Some of that even extends to politics (UK politics).

What I don't have is swivel eyed lunatics like you burbling on about race science or nonsense about DEI etc.

The fact is, generally, I'm not on twitter to talk politics (nor bluesky). That doesn't make it an echo chamber. What is sad is you can't conceive of a public forum where the discourse isn't centred on right wing talking points.

What you guys seem to want is really something like one of China's forced political re-education camp where "leftists" are forced to listen to you regurgitate the liturgy according to the wingnut until we all finally pretend to agree with you to shut up.

It largely doesn't actually, mostly the big difference is that it hasn't juiced the feed to highlight paying users, musk and advertising

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton saying that her opposition needs to be "deprogrammed":

Meanwhile x2, the Regime always seems to want a monopoly on all media. Hmm. Why would liars want a monopoly on all media? Almost like they're liars who need their lies to thrive by not having opposition! Almost like they're totalitarian psychopaths who cannot function on an open platform! lol :D

• [sebfag (disingenuous liar, Regime sycophant, likely pederast)]:"mostly the big difference is that it hasn't juiced the feed to highlight paying users,"

lol
Compare to sebfag's love of Twitter when the blue check meant that you were a Regime sycophant and part of the false "expert" class, with your left-wing dogmas pushed into everyone's feeds to artificially promote Regime talking points. sebfag's absolute piece of shit logic.

• [sebfag (disingenuous liar, Regime sycophant, likely pederast)]: "What I don't have is swivel eyed lunatics like you burbling on about race science or nonsense about DEI etc."

So basically you're a disingenuous liar and Regime sycophant who wants a pro-pederasty space where you can lie and promote pederasty. Yup. Sounds like pre-Musk Twitter. You'll just keep admitting that you want a pro-Regime Overton Window where the right is always minimized and "conservatives" are not conservatives but just Regime sycophants who are pulling up the rear of the leftward-marching Overton Window, you fucking commie swine :D

That's a great endorsement and could make a great advertisement:

MAP-supporters like sebfag are free to be who they really are!

See - literally can't conceive of the idea anybody might use the internet for something other than politics."

"the Regime always seems to want a monopoly on all media."

Would that be the media outfit that's privately owned by an incoming department head of the new admin, whose already threatening trade action against any anti trust rules other jurisdictions might apply to his outfit?

I think you need to accept, CC, that sometimes people aren't just not interested in your position, they aren't even interested in the topic - and the idea they need to get forcibly exposed to your discourse isn't "freedom of speech" but actually deeply totalitarian.

Speaking of pederastry, the explosion of porn and CSAM on twitter after Musk took over and nuked the team tasked with getting rid of it is another reason people are motivated to move off the platform.

lol, you disingenuous piece of shit. :D
That is your *own* thinking error.
Imgur, for instance, used to be silly memes until Regime media post-2016 started paying sock puppets to spread psychosis propaganda on the platform, making everything political.

On Imgur, you could look at a picture of puppies and see psychotic faggots such as yourself talking about Trump in the comments. After years of that they added a "politics" tag filter, but they simultaneously removed the ability for users to vote on tags (so people could not warn each other; only the originator of the content could tag so malicious users would just not tag "politics" so that people would see their content) and thus forced politics into everyone's feeds. It is the nature of leftism to force the political into all spheres, as leftism is inherently totalitarian — Ice-Nine annihilation. A leftist would call a rock "political" or a Planck's length in the real a "perfectly straight line" from this anthropomorphic delusion while never seeing the liar using the instrument of measure. You once again project your own totalitarian belief structure.

• [CC]: ""the Regime always seems to want a monopoly on all media."
• [sebfag (disingenuous liar, Regime sycophant, likely pederast)]: "Would that be the media outfit that's privately owned by an incoming"

You liars among the left really have no sense of scale or reality. It's always some subjunctive situation that "could" happen in the future, like how Trump *might* prosecute actual traitors of the West (like yourself). Meanwhile, the left *does* have a monopoly on media. Who owns CNN, BBC, The Guardian, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, AP, Disney/Marvel, and a thousand others propaganda and control apparatuses? The Regime. They *have* a monopoly. It is *not* theoretical and is *not* some *possible* measure of an incoming administration that *might* be "literally Hitler" — it is present and undeniable reality.

But disingenuous faggots such as sebtard will say, "[Erm, but Elon Musk bought Twitter. *We* need a space now! *We* need *our* Joe Rogan since we lost our Joe Rogan! We have to crush Fox News and Twitter so that the right has nowhere to speak!]"
You dumb motherfucker. XD

This is part of that left-wing delusion where they are always the underdog. Even with near complete ownership of media and corporations, they *still* pretend that the right has too much of a voice. These people are absolute liars and totalitarian sycophants. Leftism is a spiritual disease, like a Faustian library-as-laboratory that can never know the wild world and instead must make everything into books so that the bookworms may feast.

• [sebfag (disingenuous liar, Regime sycophant, likely pederast)]: "I think you need to accept, CC, that sometimes people aren't just not interested in your position, they aren't even interested in the topic"

Pathetic and transparent red herring and «ad hom».
In reality, many people want to learn about classical thought and right-wing positions, but the Regime's ownership of nearly all media means that they receive this information in fragments. Incurious leftists such as yourself willfully insulate yourselves because you intuitively know that ignorance enhances your compliance with Regime directives, sure, but not everyone is as pathetic as yourself and yet they find tremendous Regime-constructed barriers to information and truth.

• [sebfag (disingenuous liar, Regime sycophant, likely pederast)]: "the idea they need to get forcibly exposed to your discourse isn't "freedom of speech" but actually deeply totalitarian."

Pathetic and transparent red herring and straw man fallacy.
Every time you attempt this line of, "[Erm, actually, *you're* the totalitarian!]" you just further demonstrate what a fucking joke and intellectual coward you are.

I have *never* claimed that any kind of "force" should be applied to the left receiving counter-arguments (e.g., through the forced control of social media, through forced rules on equal air-time). That is an absolute and disingenuous invention of yours as well as a projection given that Regime media — which you totally support — is the one who pushes that dogma of forced propaganda (e.g., through rules on "misinformation", through "deplatforming", through the lie of "hate speech"). Forced propaganda is a directly stated dogma of "our democracy" (i.e., the Regime slogan with which you agree) — *not* of my libertarian-right belief in truth and nobility.

You are free to have your pro-pederasty Blue Sky platform as pro-pederasty is according to your principles. And I am free to annihilate pederasts, as that is according to my principles. But it is *you* who push your pro-pederasty dogmas into right-wing spheres by political force (e.g., lawfare, public policy, censorship, anti-West annihilation), whereas I would leave you free to your echo chambers. Were you not such an evil piece of shit that you openly call for an end to my Western love of liberty under the false moniker and treasonous diminutive of phrases such as "swivel eyed lunatics", I would be happy to never know of your boiling army of hate for the West within Mordor, but your every ideological fragment is a march on Minas Tirith where you hope to destroy the West. Your only solution for we in the opposition is to allow this annihilation to proceed, but all this does is prove that your caliphate must be obliterated. I would prefer your disenfranchisement or deportation, but you cannot help but prove with your every word how much you hate the West and want a greater punishment.

I already explained how this is a shitlib lie above, but sebfag is illiterate so I'll rephrase:

The reality is that Regime propagandists attempted to poison Twitter with CP following Musk's takeover, so there was a period of a week or so wherein Musk had to implement new anti-CP controls. Regime propaganda lied by saying that there was a rise in CP (i.e., pretending that Musk enabled it whereas the Regime conducted a CP DDoS), whereas following the initial acquisition it actually fell sharply.

sebfag liars, meanwhile, pretend that this initial period persisted or that Musk pushed *for* CP (an outright lie of innuendo). This sebfaggish lie is no different than a williamthecoward taking sick pleasure in a family-values conservative erring with his family while williamthecoward openly protects pederasts in his midst. We all know who protects the pederasts, and it is not Musk.

Nah, I posted at the time - a bunch of outfits that monitor CSAM picked up that it had exploded on twitter. This also corresponded with the team responsible being reduced to 1 person.

Relatively recently a similar outfit pointed out it had flagged material, which was subsequently not removed.

The correlation is obvious.

You nuke the team responsible, then the function team supports stops happening.
