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'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.)

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.

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".
