I could only find Americans on here when I joined bsky. They're so fucking annoying with their Democrat slant.
imo Bluesky's problem, which it has had since the beginning and remains, is that it is a very American space. Non-American topics get very little visibility. For example, my followers on Twitter, before I left, was around 40k.
people get mad at me when I say this but it's a Serious Problem for bluesky's long-term viability that the userbase actively tries to bully people they don't like off here

Reminds me of the Wire season 1, where the Barksdales manage to avoid the cops for so long because they're using payphones to communicate when everyone uses cellular.
The only reason the Rebels a chance against The Empire is because they don’t have video cameras and they don’t have AI. Any futuristic fascist regime will have audio bugging everywhere and AI listening to what you are saying to weed out anyone plotting for freedom. Smart phones will be compulsory.

Gerald Roche critiques pseudo-anti-imperialism and its deployment of passivity propaganda, which seeks to convince us to ignore state violence and abandon solidarity.
