probably the funniest iteration of this beef I have seen was a guy who was mad that more politicians weren't interacting with Good Posters on here, and instead only getting bad ideas from Bad Posters on twitter. bizarre

People getting so offended by this post. Mr. Chau is right. OP sucks for this list. A real herb.

Yeah that guy sucks for that list, but it’s not like the rest of us are responsible for every hall monitor dork on here.

I mean, I wouldn't take it as a personal indictment of myself if someone said the site I was on was full of hall monitor dorks (it is) if I were not a hall monitor dork but 🤷🏿

I’m someone who misses hearing from him now and again but am happy to be rid of the flood of nazis, misogynists, and Q anon truthers. So his justification makes me roll my eyes, but I’ll cope at his preference for sticking over there.

i didn't realize everyone had an obligation to contribute to the optimization of this website. what a dork ass, hall monitor thing to do

yea, there's too many dorks on here like yeah, i stopped posting on twitter because i wasn't having fun there anymore, and have advised that people do the same, but that's there is just dork behavior.

I mean every time you post on Twitter you are making Elon richer

still better than posting with a bunch of nazis on twitter

I hope these few don’t push you away. We can talk Simpsons here too

I think this is a more fun place to hang out now than twitter is but there are some people who are way too self-congratulatory about being here and/or who think that changing which app hosts your posting addiction is Doing Real Activism

you mean "lists exist"? yeah it's off-putting. i wish they didn't have em. as for the still using X thing... ... I mean.

U mad?

no one gives a fuck

oh hey nice to see you over here on my monthly check-in. and same, dude. i see people saying X is nothing but a "nazi recruitment tool" which is like. bruh it's just a hellsite, it's basically just what facebook was 5 years ago when they were banning leftists and fomenting a genocide in myanmar.

whose website is X

Bluesky is run by one of the early developers of crypto who sold bitcoin equipment. You’re not gonna escape capitalism here

I'm trying to escape heil hitlers sir. 😔

you're doing a terrible job.

I have no idea what that could possibly mean

maybe think about it for a bit, in context of what we were talking about. that might clue you in on the meaning. it's perfectly clear.

i think it's motivated reasoning on your part that's clearing it up 🙏🏻

Lmfao you know that Elon is next level bad

You can escape a private company owning your relationships to other ppl in cyberspace here, however.

no you can't lmao, they sell that shit to whoever wants it. you are living in a fantasy land.

They don't have to sell it because its all public, that's the point, that you can transfer your account to other hosting services freely.

oh yeah i forgot about that. so it's even easier for them to mine your relationship data for connections, which completely destroys your point about not giving your relationship data to twitter. good one.

The problem is not companies having access to your data, its a platform monopolizing it such that if you leave you give up all your connections to the people there.

and that's a lovely problem to solve, genuinely! it's so hard to keep in touch with internet people when some of them leave a website! unfortunately, that has absolutely nothing to do with the idea that using twitter means you are a bad person, which is what a lot of these weirdos are arguing.

I don't agree with that either but that somehow got conflated with saying on a technical level is just bad

yeah man i have a great idea let's fix that by moving to a site started by the guy who SOLD twitter to that shitbird, then fucked off and left it in eminently capable hands of a dude who loves pedophiles. you're not making a coherent point. all these sites suck. it's how you use them that matters.

i am making a coherent point: y'all stayed at the nazi bar. that's gonna matter to some folks. I don't think it's fair to be mad at them for thinking it matters.

i think it's plenty fair, because the folks it matter to are being obtuse shitheads. there are nazis here too, again -- the site is run by a pedophile enabler who bans palestinians. also it's not a fucking nazi bar. it's a website that has millions of users. there are nazis here too, dumbass.

I'm sorry, we're gonna disagree on some of this. i agree bluesky is awful. 😀

there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. using a website is not "going to a nazi bar." your attitude towards this is toxic nonsense that ignores the material realitiy of the world around you in favor of basking in whatever escapism you can find here. it's sad, and you should grow out of it.

you're playing dumb.

like 90% of the active users on X are crypto/open nazis, lmao. Not sure whatever conspiracy slop you bring up can compare to that fact.

no, 90% of them are bots 😆 meanwhile over here people like you refuse to engage with the material reality that every website fucking sucks, and drawing a line where you call anyone who uses one of them over the other a "nazi" just makes you a insufferable dipshit who is destroying his own community.

lotta weird narcs out there

Who cares honestly

they gotta scrap lists, they're doing way more harm than good to the average psyche here

Lists are useful for lot of subjects but labelers? Fuck those forever.

lol just ignore it if it bothers yall so much

Wait, what's wrong with lists?

Nothing.

wish i had that tweet on hand where elon's gushing about how stephen king Called It X 🥰

They call posting "skeeting" here because blocking these types is the internet equivalent of blowing up a clay disc with a shotgun

You can tell it's been a full year since I last went skeet shooting because I'm trying to jam the subject into any conversation no matter how tenuous the connection

Do ppl actually call it x?

yeah but who the fuck are they and who cares

I think Bluesky would have more movie/TV/book posts if it wasn't a vicious cycle of 'media-posters' still primarily posting on Twitter so there's fewer posts on Bluesky which means those accounts stick to Twitter because there's not much of it on Bluesky, and so on.

Schoolmarm tattletale behaviour

I pretty much never see stuff like this unless it's somebody making a post like this

We love this site and its thriving twerp ecosystem.

Bye

New York times ass post

what's new york times is to pretend that this site, currently being run into the ground by a dude who openly protects pedophiles, is any worse than any other hellsite on the internet.

For whom the list tolls

while this place ain't perfect it continues to improve, is better than current Twitter by a mile, and the first word of that worms bio is "Economist" lol. give this place a chance!

Is this post what "ok nvm" looks like

Cop behavior
