it isn't a rant

no anger or malice is written no by definition not a rant, it is a detailed response, sorry I know in the modern age people prefer short simple anwers with little infomation involved

I think there's a clear demand of a platform like twitter that's free of right wing ideologies. The right already has truth social and X and the left doesn't want to converse with them.

I mean I don't know if you know but women and men don't want to date people with different political leanings than them. And there's a good deal of incels on the right that're just too toxic towards the left and just others in general.

It's like we live in 2 different worlds and blue sky or another app could flourish there!
Again and I say this a lot as my own personal opinion, most of this is a polarised american veiw of society that unfortunately the UK has drifted to believe.

The need to tag everyone as x, y or z, the if you disagree with me on anything you are automatically my enemy, Having lived out of the west for 3-4 years in my 20s the world outside our bubble is radically different yet we assume everyone follows the leader of the free worlds bullshit. their manrra of liberal left or alt right bollocks that has also infested these shores is not the global norm.

We actually live in many different worlds globally, that is true, left right is umimportants to most, and we also have americanised bullshit and everywhere else, we chose the batshit one to follow
 
A lot of people mistaking the move to bluesky as just political but that's not the only decent reason.

- Bots not filling feeds.
- Actual conversations between people.
- More communities, groups of academics, hobbyists able to connect easier. Importantly also easier to ignore certain communities.
- Algorithms not throttling traffic, people posting external links (a lot of our City podcast creators) not punished for redirecting traffic.
- Next to no engagement bait due to people getting paid for tweets.

Not lining Musk's pockets is just an added bonus.

Anyone that doesn’t understand there are different opinions is shallow and has a simple view on life.
 
Take a breath and calm down.
you're an odd sauage sir, you seem to see something I don't about my I am chillig drinking beer watching netflix calm as can be, knowing this thread is no more than a folly to go on to pass the time.

There’s only so many times you can repeat this. It’s nothing to do with the inability to deal with a differing opinion, it’s not wanting it shouted at you 24/7, without the ability to converse properly.

Except to have that zen of a country.. you and everyone need to mind your own business and respect each other's privacy and thought.

In the west it's more exhibitionist and it spills over everywhere into everyday life and that's why people are uncomfortable.

I mean I don't really need to know my coworker is a supporter who listens to x y and z and thinks a b c. I just need him to be my coworker and allow me to leave when the shift ends.

Exactly this!

I think all platforms probably start that way, but as soon as the numbers using them become significant the corporate and political interests move in.
I do wonder if a lot of vehemently anti trump folk were inadvertently shaping their own X feeds by constantly discussing him. A bit like when folk on here complain all they ever see in the ad banners are ads for plastic horses cocks and anal beads.
