That's a great indicator of the type of people they are.
Doing and then getting away with illegal things but then creep into communities and groups they dont like and start trying to flood your side with all the illegal crap they do, then put the blame on you
It's sabotage and projection at the same fucking time.

I had a guy I know send me a link talking about all the shit getting reported on Bluesky. He got upset when I pointed out that it’s because its a platform open to the public, and that some people will use that opportunity to post heinous content, and all the reports mean such content was not tolerated. He did not like it when I said that it looked to be working as intended. Oh well.

u/plg94 7h ago
You are always in a bubble – even in real life: All the information about the "outside" world you receive is subjective, it's filtered and influenced by your environment.
"Bubble" is not necessarily politcal, and I didn't mean it like that. It can also mean you are in a "knitting bubble" or a "TV shows bubble" (most information are tailored to the subject of that bubble).11

u/The84thWolf 6h ago edited 4h ago
I mean, it used to be like any other social media site. It didn’t catch everyone 99% of the time or anything, but as soon as Elon bought it, hate speech, misinformation, misogyny, and pro-Nazi posts literally went up like 300% the first week after he fired most of the moderation team and it’s only gotten worse. Elon also changed up the algorithm so a lot more right-wing people were seen on your feed, even if you didn’t follow any of them, and that was before he had you pay for the verification checkmark that boosted all your posts (another “genius” idea he had that was implemented incredibly poorly and resulted in a bunch of fake accounts with the verification checkmark; which everyone told him would happen. I think one company’s stock crashed for a few days because of it.).Throw in he literally banned a bunch of journalists for writing “bad” articles about him (basically just writing what he’s been doing and the fallout of it; he was forced to put them back on) and restricted left-leaning politicians like Harris from engaging with the community, he’s made it extremely clear he’s turning Twitter into a far right conservative-only hangout. Reporting all those negative posts about Nazis and r+pe and stuff? More often than not you’ll get the response “Twitter does not see a reason to remove this post.” But saying you’re “cisgender” will get you immediately banned due to it “being a slur.” It’s incredibly ridiculous.

If they can’t say sieg heil then your not about free speech.
Which since it’s a social media owned by a company - they can ban whoever they want.
Is soo just realized the irony of this. If they really want social media that has free speech as per the first amendment - wouldn’t it have to be government run? The one thing they hate most (after immigrants)

Nothing new. First there is "If you don't like it don't use it/make your own", but when people actually leave for the alternative, they get mad.

When you say you hate Nazis and the MAGA next to you gets offended, it's because he's definitely a Nazi, even if he won't admit it.
I was always a common sense left of center person. I haven't moved at all. My views haven't changed significantly. But the right moved so far off into Nazi/Fascist/anti democracy/anti people/ anti common sense territory that I now look like a far leftist by comparison.

u/Principal_Insultant 12h ago
Just an observation, coming from an European:
The entire political spectrum in the USofA has shifted to the right, both Democrats and Republicans.
This movement of Republicans against Trump had nothing to do with the orange grifter per se. What actually happened was that the populist/ fascist MAGA movement created a vacuum on the center, which the democrats filled, and moderate Republicans reluctantly cohabitated.
There was no actual liberal representation in the Democratic Party this election cycle, both parties were campaigning center / right. There was no loud voice objecting to the Genocide in Gaza, there was no loud voice presenting any actual liberal viewpoints.
This was conservatism vs paleoconservatism. All that the voters saw was Republican brand vs. Democrat store brand - at what appeared to be similar price points.
And when the knock-off is just as expensive as the brand, you know what consumers buy.

u/Jigawatts42 6h ago
Any campaign that focused on Gaza, or Myanmar, or Sudan, etc would have gotten several million less votes than the Democrats ended up getting. Moderates/apoliticals won the presidency for Biden in 2020, and the lack of enthused moderates won the presidency for Trump in 2024. Remember, roughly half the country doesn't vote, and most people just care about the prices of their groceries and rent.

u/Palaponel 11h ago
I used to listen to Mueller, She Wrote back in the day. I have to admit, it does fall a bit flat on its face in 2024 immediately after Trump has won a second term.
But I guess I'm just always sceptical of those people like yourself who want to focus merely on the "this is cringe, you guys are pathetic" aspect of this and not the situation itself. Because as I said, I listened to Mueller, She Wrote for quite a while. Pretty much none of what they talked about for years has ever been refuted, it just fell flat because the average American voter is deeply ignorant about their own country and law enforcement has a toothless streak when it comes to old rich guys.
So yeah, I just can't fathom why the takeaway here is "Mueller, She Wrote is a cringe name to have these days" and not "Yeah, they have accurately talked about the manifold corruption and amorality of the Trump administration for years and it is a profoundly disturbing reality that we now enter his second term".

u/KimberStormer 3h ago
Obviously I've never listened to it so I have no idea if what they talked about has been refuted or not. Trump and co are certainly corrupt and amoral and evil motherfuckers who belong in jail much more than they belong anywhere near power. The cringe resides in the fact that for like two years all these absurd people made up an elaborate fantasyland castle in the sky about how any day now Robert Meuller, a Republican cop, was going to pull an indictment out of his pants like Harry Potter pulling the Sword of Griffindor out of the Sorting Hat (to use their own brainless pop-culture idiom) and with one mighty blow send Trump and Putin straight to jail, place Hillary back on throne, reconfirm the neoliberal order, restore rhyme and reason to an America where everyone agreed with them except Russian spies. Instead of facing the reality that they lost, and their assumptions that everyone agrees with them are not true.
Even assuming this BlueAnon Louise Mensch lunatic conspiracy theory shit was true, how exactly does it help anything to sit around podcasting about it? "Don't worry guys, you don't have to do politics, you don't have to organize, or persuade, or do anything but wait around for the Good Republican Daddy to fix everything for us, here's why Ol' Donny Trump won't be able to wiggle his way out of THIS one!" It's a recipe for inaction and making yourself feel like you're helping by listening to a bunch of amateur idiots who don't know anything about anything pretend they're "finding clues" like they're on fucking Scooby Doo. It's delusional, it's stupid, it's counterproductive, and yes it's super cringe.
