  • I love that the people who weren’t smart enough to leave Twitter two years ago are now eagerly jumping from one frying pan into another.

    Fortunately there have been a few who learned their lessons a bit late and came over to Mastodon.

    But the rest of them? The one who tolerated the racism and misogyny that Musk brought with his red pilled idiots? Let them have Blue Sky and the rest of us can watch as history eventually repeats itself.


  • I’ve been testing it this morning. Obviously not a lot of content so I’ve been uploading some old content of my own.

    It is VERY bare bones. Still needs a lot of work and effort. You can’t even upload an avatar yet. And the character limit in your bio is only 80? Should be at least 250.

    It’s just going to take some patience. It’s only (I think?) two people working on this? So development is going to be sloooooooooow.

    Still, I think it’s worth the effort. Alternatives to centralized apps are important. Social media deserves to be in the hands of the people and the more we can take away from centralized services, the better.

    I only said “the left” instead of “the dems” to be more inclusive. If that was wrong, I apologize. My intent was not to “blame the left for liberal apathy” but to suggest we need to do more together.

    And yes, I agree that liberals should embrace leftists more, they are the ones who are trying to stand up for the rights of others more then any group in my opinion.

    So let me ask, what would you say is the best most actionable thing we can each do when it comes to safeguarding democracy this election? I mean that sincerely.


  • I honestly don’t think “education” is the key. It’s been well established that people don’t make decisions according to “the facts” as much as we do our emotions. You can’t “convince” someone that they are wrong unless you give them an emotional carrot to lead them.

    Give them the facts, but give them an emotional grounding to those facts. “This is your chance to make a fascists day shit.” might work better then “You need to vote because of X,Y,Z.”
