    The only people I've seen moving to bluesky so far in this latest batch have basically been smug lefty types and lawyers. They're free to do as they please but these are not the early adopters that make a culture good.

    There is no monopoly on what makes a culture "good".

    Every community will have its own strengths and weaknesses.

    The "early adopters" arrived almost 2 years ago ;)

    Care to check how much time blue collars spend swiping on their phones? On those few daily hours, what makes you think they don't have time to argue online?

    There's plenty of right wing posters on Twitter now. They get boosted even. The reason they weren't visible prior to boosting is that they only communicate in death threats, misspelled slurs and the laughing emoji.

    (Far-leftists esp. tankies also communicate mainly in death threats, but in a much more literary way where they accuse you of misreading a theorist from 1840 first.)

    How could you possibly know what a million users are "basically" like?

    You don’t think the left misspells slurs, communicates in death threats too? That’s not a left right thing, that’s a crazy-normal thing.

    I dunno man I worked on a landscaping truck and on a pumping truck for the parks department when I was younger and we had plenty of free time to dick around. This was before smartphones so usually we'd play Hearts at the truck dispatch or park at one of the town beaches and just watch the water and read magazines or books. Walk past any roadside construction site and half the guys are playing with their phones; anything with cops standing around half of them are playing with their phones. Not sure how to tell you this, but blue collar jobs have downtime same as white collar jobs and they have the internet on phones now.

    There are not leftists trying and failing to call you homosexual, no. They'd call you a member of another obscure political group you've never heard of, or find a way to misinterpret your post in a complicated way to make you look pro-genocide.

    This is called "education polarization".

    By looking.

    - Which accounts get the most followers

    - Which posts get to the top of their front page

    - What is the predominant sentiment in the comments
