Bluesky is quickly becoming the opposite of Twitter but for the left. This 'you either agree with me completely and utterly or you're my enemy' mindset is toxic, no matter what brand. It's the reason I left the other site. I believe it may soon be time to not use either of these platforms.

I mean saying someone wrote a critique out of emotion and calling someone a big or not the same. My evidence is the sentence I keep referring too. I didn't write a 1000 word blog.

Sure and I wasn't trying to say what you think is wrong. It's just notable that as soon as Graber falls out of favour with a group of users immediately lengthy blog posts emerge discrediting her work. Is it not toxic as fuck?

We can keep going in circles if you want, man. I think the author soured the piece and ruined its credibility when they said essentially "Graber is a transphobe. Source? I made it up."

They used Graber controversial Waffles post for one. I get the criticism of the protocol that it will never be as open at Bluesky says but you can't allege people are bigots just because you feel like it and put it out there as gospel.

A lot of people are quoting this blog post. But when the writer immediately calls Graber a transphobe without any real evidence, the piece devolves into what it actually is: a reactionary hit piece because they are upset about Bluesky's moderation systems.

I think it's more for the amusement of his baying audience. These are the people that misunderstand the whole point of Squid Game.

It's so weird seeing wrestlers in these real, important press conferences. Like, does that Saudi dude even know there's an undead wizard standing right behind him.

No-one deserves to be murdered for saying what they think. America has deep problem.

The Silksong discourse is almost identical to that for a new Souls game. What an incredible accomplishment. Started seeing people say there should be difficulty settings.

I forgot how much Hollow Knight is just Dark Souls. And in terms of "unforgiving" mechanics Silksong is so much nicer than the first game. You can just go to Bone Bottom and buy a rosary chain and boom you no longer have to worry about losing them. Also spend those things ASAP.

Voyager is the best Star Trek and anyone who thinks differently is a Phillistine.

This is so weird. Either nobody knows nothing, or someone is hiding something.

People really shitting on Bioshock Infinite lately. I remember why it was so important at the time. It was the first AAA title of its kind to tackle racism as bluntly. Never played it tho lol

This is what South African media is up against. The top story Google is serving South Africans today is fake news from an ad revenue farming AI generated schlock page from India.
