Nah he's right. I'm not sure if it's a deliberate effort to destroy the site or if it's the growing user base but the temperature of the platform is way different than it was. So many people are living in a false reality. It's not as abhorrent as Twitter/X but it's just as useless now.

It's got to be so hard to be not Nazi enough for X but too centrist liberal to be happy on BlueSky. You could always try Threads. It's safely anodyne there and Zuck also doesn't think trans people should be allowed to fully participate in society. Y'all will get along great. It's very polite.
