  • Are men’s reading habits truly a national crisis?

    Jump

  • I just read this semi-autobiographical Jo Walton novel called Among Others that was written as a love letter to finding books through other books - you get the title of every book the sci-fi obsessed main character reads over the course of like 1979-1980.

  • America’s Right-Wing Propaganda Problem Might Be Terminal

    Jump

  • Terminal means fatal, hopefully that's not a certainty yet.

  • Kennedy’s Lawyer Has Asked the F.D.A. to Revoke Approval of the Polio Vaccine

    Jump

  • I know that's what drives me crazy too. As opposed to a lot of harmful conservative policies that are clearly motivated by a desire to look out for the interests of the wealthy or pander to xenophobes, the anti-vaxx stuff is just pure contagious madness.

  • Rupert Murdoch loses battle to control succession to his media empire

    Jump

  • We won't find out if this changed anything until Rupert is dead.

  • Accused war criminal status will be hard stigma for Netanyahu to shrug off

    Jump

  • There's a big difference between meeting the criteria for being a war criminal and having an arrest warrant issued by the ICC.

  • Accused war criminal status will be hard stigma for Netanyahu to shrug off

    Jump

  • The thing that's tougher to shrug off is that he now has a rotating list of countries where depending on who's in power he cannot visit without being arrested.

  • How Bluesky, Alternative to X and Facebook, Is Handling Growth

    Jump

  • Tell you what I'll block you and you'll never have to see my share of it again

  • How Bluesky, Alternative to X and Facebook, Is Handling Growth

    Jump

  • Yeah too bad they didn't get into it earlier, but it has hit a critical mass of users and attention lately.

  • Bluesky: eXodus continues as TERFS lose their brain-rotted minds

    Jump

  • The reason people post on these sites is to make themselves heard I guess. You just have to ignore or block your way into the level of interaction you're comfortable with.

  • Bluesky: eXodus continues as TERFS lose their brain-rotted minds

    Jump

  • Russian fascist owned? What are you talking about?

  • Twitter is dead. Long live BlueSky.

    Jump

  • These parts:

    Bluesky can fuck right off as well. I tried it to see if it was any different than Twitter but I had to nope out after 10 minutes.

    I've never understood the whole Twitter formula anyways. Scroll through endless ramblings of people I don't care about? No thanks.

    There are far better places to stay informed about certain topics or get in touch with people you know.

  • Bluesky feels more like old Twitter than X does

    Jump

  • Yeah X is a big downgrade

  • The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet

    Jump

  • Sure the billionaire buying stuff thing happens, but a Nazi billionaire?

  • The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet

    Jump

  • To be fair Musk buying twitter and turning it into a Nazi propaganda site was kind of flukey.

  • The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet

    Jump

  • Interesting. As with any problematic group that makes the transition it's a bit annoying to have to deal with them on the new platform, but they shouldn't be banned and them moving is a great sign that bluesky has the juice.

  • The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet

    Jump

  • Meaning like the rationalist / effective altruism guys? Would have thought they'd be prone to sticking with Musk

  • Twitter is dead. Long live BlueSky.

    Jump

  • Not every social media format is for everyone, no need to be hostile about it. I just can't bring myself to engage with TikTok and Reels and such, but other people really like them and why would that be a problem for me?

  • Twitter sees largest user exodus since Musk takeover

    Jump

  • Eh idk, Elon boosting right-wing content doesn't mean that nobody was seeing people's anti-Trump posts on there, much less that they did any harm.

  • Bluesky feels more like old Twitter than X does

    Jump

  • The platform is the users but it's also the owners. Twitter got a lot worse when Musk took over and started turning it into a Nazi propaganda platform even though the userbase didn't immediately change.
