Bluesky Backlash Misses the Point

I was easily able to create a feed that rarely mentioned politics at all. Mark Cuban currently talks like pre-twitter Elon, the quotes in the article are a perfect example. it's just a matter of time, and everyone there knows it already, so he's just mad the mask doesn't work like it does on Twitter. But I never had to hear from him, once I blocked him, even when people I followed reference his posts. he could easily do the same to the "haters", he has plenty of followers that like him. he wants the controversy but doesn't like that there's no algorithm bots can exploit to boost the narrative he wants.

Also, what he fails to mention is the well-deserved amount of backlash most of the current democratic leaders get there. something you'll never see on platform like Truth, except maybe when prefixed with some heavy praise, then some bashfully presented light criticism.

Bluesky works exactly as advertised, I personally just don't have much of a need for that style of social media anymore.

    ..."something you'll never see on platform like Truth"

    No, you'll just see actual policy disagreement in the real world. Like Elon disagreeing about the big beautiful bill, or Rand Paul holding out over specific pieces of it.

    Something you'll never see from the democrats, except by the ones who leave the party.

    Towe that line baby!

      your talking about politicians disagreeing, i'm talking about citizens disagreeing with the actions of the party they happened to vote for, instead of submitting to their will and excusing away their most terrible decisions. and in your example, ever single detractor from the kings decree is quickly force to bend the knee, or risk expulsion. bunch of submissive vassals. democrat voters are loudly against the dnc and most of the people they bring in that blindly follow "the agenda".
