"Credible exit" is just the twitterati huffing their own farts. Bluesky has exactly the same monetization problems twitter did and any other ultimate result beyond selling the company off to the highest bidder is fantasy.
Eventually, sooner or later, bluesky will fatten a nice crop of highly engaged users and sell the platform to someone with a better plan to monetize all of those eyeballs. The only real question is who? Will it be fElon Musk? Will it be ZuckerBot? Will it be some other billionaire who wants to own their own left leaning Twitter clone so they can monetize all those professional eyeballs with greater than average disposable income? Keep using the platform to find out!
If only there were a way the opposition party could have done something about this like, I don't know, campaigning on a platform of better living conditions for the working class, more jobs and better pay instead of doubling down again and again and again on identity politics.
Adguard for Android can do similar firewalling, that's all I've bothered to setup for myself.
It's a paid app but you get 30d to try all of the features before you commit and you can always VPN to Romania or a similar low CoL country to buy a lifetime license.
Or Nixon conspiring with the VC to delay peace in Vietnam until after the election. Honestly the fuckery really started back in the late 50s and early 60s if we're looking for the roots of our current fascist problem.
Spend a bit of time watching Ken Burns Vietnam documentary at some point, it's an eye opener w.r.t. the current Republican strategy.
I have no doubt Trump made every effort to cheat. There were attempts to keep people from voting, bomb threats, purging of voter rolls, and questionable access to voting machines.
Let's not forget Elon collecting signatures from demographics least likely to vote, or starlink being used in many districts as the network uplink for insecure machines, or the switch to computerized poll register systems using digital signature on a tablet (rather than a paper poll register) at many of these same polling places.
If you really wanted to juice your guy's vote numbers it wouldn't be all that hard to take the signatures you paid for and link them to people unlikely to vote, then get into vulnerable polling place systems and add bullet ballots for your guy ostensibly cast by people who are unlikely to actually show up.
And the Democratic Neoliberal Committee serves them extremely well
