Anyone need a bluesky invite? 

Justin did you get yours?  I DMed it to you via the forum

And even with kitten pictures and a Wet Leg reference, my social media reach is minuscule

Got it but haven't activated yet. Probably this coming weekend. Thanks!

Well, I'm not seeing an ad every other tweet, or seeing Nazis, so it's at least better in that regard.  I don't know if it really has the juice to replace it, but I will say I sometimes forget to even look at Twitter to kill time.  Definitely could use more stuff to rile up the blood, because let's face it, that's why we're all on the internet to begin with.

A "hide retweets" option on people you follow would immediately bump up the fun factor tho.

I have no issues with Twitter. Lately I pretty much only follow Argentines on it and it’s been great. Primary election on Sunday. Tons of great soccer stuff.

The owner is a bit strange and socially awkward though….

For example, you're not getting this kind of good shit on Bluesky: https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1688990628976398337

Just cause you don’t see “Nazis” doesn’t mean they are not out there. And using the word nazi seems a little out there….currently reading Primo Levy’s memoirs about Auschwitz….those are Nazis

Not sure the point of hiding 🙈 where everyone agrees with each other….

yeah that's been my take so far...I just see the people "I Like" and don't see all the other crazy chatter

I mean the nazi content in my feed did pick up a notch with Elon took over
I do enjoy seeing content from across the spectrum and feel my bluesky so far is just an echo chamber

Moving to the proper thread, i think?

Don't get me wrong, I did and still do love talking to Conservatives about how evil they are their beliefs vs. mine, but it's not like they suddenly got more hateful in the last 10 years...they just don't' feel the need to hide it behind some Ayn Rand, fiscal responsibility nonsense.  They'll just tell you they want to exterminate our trans community or grind up the poor to lubricate the gears of their super yachts

I used to love talking about it with Conservatives/GOP types and legitimately wanted to hear their side of the issue
