While I do enjoy Bluesky, it seems stuck in 2012. Or, more specifically, it seems like what The WELL would look like had it survived to 2012. My feed on Bluesky is made up — at the moment — of a lot of very droll observations by smug wealthy liberals.
It’s a testament to how Trump has simply worn everyone out that there really isn’t that much “Resistance Bluesky” to be seen. It’s there, but the rage that was seen on Resistance Twitter in 2017 just doesn’t seem around. Which makes you wonder if maybe ultimately we really have just given up when it comes to Trump.
And it seems as though the “protect Trans kids” faction of the Blues is very, very potent on Bluesky. I support the Trans movement, but as the 2024 election showed — oh boy.
But, who knows. Like I said, I do, in general, enjoy Bluesky. I guess I wish it wasn’t quite so inward looking — whatever that means.
