They've not been challenged a lot by the other platforms, although twitter was pretty good at it before Musk. I think Bluesky will be aggressive going after RW disrupters.

Was never on Twitter. Far more civil and following people like Mark Hamill, Marc Elias, Joy Reid, George Conway, Maya Wiley, Jasmine Crockett, George Takei, Charlie Sykes, Rachel Maddow, and many more. Their insights to current events is EDUCATING to say the least.

Glad to seeing DUers there as well..

BlueSky is another source of News as well as following the pundits and hosts from MSNBC and elsewhere.

I just posted a Meidas Touch Network video on world leaders mocking the orange POS.

And I compiled a list of DUers on blue. It's here somewhere but I can't find it right this minute. There's a bunch of us. 50 or 60 maybe more by now!

And there are some right wingers there, but if they are abusive, it's easy to block them and they usually overstep and end up banned.

that a large number of people have joined. I looked into Mastodon, Threads and Spoutible but none had participation by a large number of center/left folks. It looks like we finally have what we were looking for. I'm so happy to leave Xitter (pronounced shitter) behind.
