I had high hopes for this place and was using it exclusively for months. But this place is now officially a far left cesspool of perfectionism and doomerism. X was bad last year, but the fun people have come back, while the fun people are still leaving Bsky. I'm honestly sad about Bsky.

The slow chilling of Bsky.

I seriously think people are leaving because this place is just not fun. Too much perfectionism, doomerism, criticism, and negativity.

Watching Jurassic Park, where a computer nerd with a debt problem and delusions of grandeur tears down all the safety systems, with no understanding of the consequences, so he can better facilitate his planned espionage and theft.

1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed.

Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance.

My org @mmfa.bsky.social did this study and has been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

What's it gonna take for everyone to realize the occupant of the white house is fundamentally anti-American?
Trump thinks anyone protesting must be from another country when the right and will to protest our own government is a foundational American value.

Me: I can’t believe UK voters chose to torch their economy with Brexit. That can never be topped.

Polish PM Donald Tusk, speaking before his flight to London for the European Ukraine summit:

“500 million Europeans are asking 300 million Americans to defend them against 140 million Russians. [...] Europe today lacks the belief that we are truly a global force.”

Setting custom labels patterns in settings can help in some areas (tabs and commnd+P for example), but sadly it's not used everywhere, such as source control.

"workbench.editor.customLabels.patterns": {
"**/+*": "${dirname} (${filename}.${extname})"
},

The bsky algorithm serves way too much outrage. I get that there's lots to be rightfully outraged by (there always is), and that outrage is amazing for engagement, so it's hard to make an algorithm that doesn't have a bias for it. But I expect bsky to be the place that at least tries.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.
