Dipshidiot lefties and socialists are supposedly leaving Twitter in droves. They are angry that Elon supported Trump and they also see the site as filled with “misinformation.” So they are all swarming to Bluesky -including local socialist lickspittle Clayton Tucker….
It’s hard to see how Bluesky represents anything other than a sweaty bubble of cope.
It didn’t take very long for the new arrivals to saturate the platform with censorship demands, post flagging and general complaints about other users. Bluesky gave notice recently that in only 24 hours the site was inundated with over 42,000 reports and the censorship requests have expanded to over 3000 flags per hour.
Bluesky was built on an “invite only” system up until February of this year. The rush of woke actors, journalists and activists to the platform after the election has certainly garnered a lot of media attention for the site. Progressive celebrities and pundits such as actress Jamie Lee Curtis, “journalist” Don Lemon, “journalist” Joy Reid, writer Stephen King and The Guardian’s official news account, have all decided to switch to Bluesky.
Don Lemon accused X of no longer serving the purposes of “transparency and honest debate,” a hilarious notion when one considers the incredible level of censorship enacted under the old regime. What leftists are actually angry about is the fact that conservatives are suddenly free to contradict progressive claims without fear of account bans, the doxing of their homes and workplaces, and cancel culture in general.
Leftists enjoyed a double standard at Twitter that worked aggressively in their favor. Even if their arguments were devoid of facts and evidence, the Terms of Service system Twitter put in place was specifically hostile to conservative ideals. Progressive members knew this and exploited it often to silence dissent. The only thing that might save an account was its size, with the biggest right-leaning users sometimes getting a pass.
The exodus merely confirms what most people already knew: the left is afraid of fair discourse on an even playing field. They refuse open debate unless the game is rigged in their favor. So far the general response from the majority of X users is “Good riddance to bad rubbish!” It’s unlikely that this view will change.
