How can two similar platforms differ so widely in engagement, discourse, topics, memes, and demographics? Are we finally learning that the management (CEOs, boards, and engineers) of social media is more important than the code?
>>108539904Are you not familiar with politics? Bluesky is Truth Social (leftie version). They're the same damn thing. X has the widest net of people on it.
>>108539904Because Bluesky is exclusively for people butthurt enough about Elon Musk to constantly remind you about how butthurt they are about Elon Musk.
>>108539914But political polarisation doesn’t explain completely why platforms differ in culture and social etiquette.
>>108539904Bluesky is for people who think it's performative to quit twitter because Elon Musk is le evil, of course it's going to be full of narcissistic trannies and npc liberals
>>108539969What about Mastodon then?
>>108539943Sure it does. It's like >>108539940 says. Go see who on Bluesky who is blocked the most. Last I heard it is J.D. Vance, our current VP. A big chunk of Bluesky's user base joined after Trump stumped Kamala in the 2024 election. Because of this, Bluesky has a disproportionate representation of polarized people that are guided by things like:>lgbt>climate change>I hate trump>>108539979Mastodon is the same thing. It attracts left/heavy left people who already like the concept of Bluesky. Did you see the recent revival of Digg? What kinds of users were on that? Bots and disenfranchised Redditors. I'd say X and to a lesser extent Facebook are currently the only entities with a wide net of perspectives from all parties and age groups. Facebook skews older and X younger though to me.
>>108539979The Fediverse is 93% pedos.
X is for xittingBluesky is for redditing
>>1085400674chan has had way more cheese pizza than even Facebook, brah
Leftism can't survive in an environment of open/free debate. It's enforced from the top down. This is why they chimped out when twitter got opened up, they know the game and knew exactly what was going to happen next.
>>1085400854chan has had an automated system for filtering known CSAM images for over a decade. Go ahead and try posting some, you tranny nonce.
>>108540094Claiming twitter was ever communist is a lie. Find out what words mean. It was a progressive Whig corporation. >>108540101>implying I can’t just resize and alter pixels to circumvent it
>>108540116It was absolutely commie and they mass banned all serious rightie accounts. Shadow banned the moderate ones.
>>108540116The Twitter trust and safety team was a joke. The way Twitter mainly recommended left leaning accounts to join on account creation was also a joke. >>108540094Spot on. I wonder if AM radio, which attracts conservative leaning people, is the same principle.
>>108539904It's a bunch of people with antichristian predilections that think they're smarter than God.
>>108540140This is communism, not twitter. https://www.wsws.org/
I had about 40 words relating to the US blocked, and marked posts about the US not interested and my default feed was nothing but US stories. Blue Sky is garbage.
>>108539904>Bluesky is for furfags and troons>Truth is for murica far right and trash>Twitter (nowdays X) is for ragebait bots and addictsyou can win only by quitting this shit altogether
>>108540306Pretty much. Personally I like not having accounts on any of the platforms and reading perspectives anonymously. Hey, that sounds awfully familiar. I wonder if there's a website like that.
>>108540246They're also motivated by anti-white identity politics, lgbt issues, and all the other progressive stuff, they just want to be more hamfisted about it. Any noise about workers and whateveris just a shibbolet for marking one as a more authoritarian shitlib.
>>108539904Trannysky (leftist extremist)vX (global platform)vTruth social (right extremist)
>>108539904Mass censorshipExtremist polarized politicDead
>>108539943>But political polarisation doesn’t explain completely why platforms differ in culture and social etiquette.Maybe not but the way the platforms came to be does truth social came to be when magafags got btfo'd from twitter and bluesky came to be when regular faggots got btfo'd from twitter by Musk and jeets twitter itself was merely created there wasn't really any group they were trying to capture so that and just the fact they were around for ages so the platform's known and already has a major userbase is why it has the "widest net"
>>108539914bluesky people are far more violent and extremists. Truth social is just boomer conservatives.
>>108540469Truth social is much smaller and narrower than that, it's just Trump and his cult
>>108539904>Women are peopleWhat?That's like saying indians are human lol.
>>108540996They're both same in size. One is made up of Trump cult and other is made up of tranny commie cult
>>108541017I thought bluesky had more people. I tried making an account there, the political spam is insane, I tried blocking 10+ accounts a day while adding filters daily for about 10 days, whenever I log onto the website, my feed is still just progressive politics spam. On x, you can make your feed not be filled with politics easily. The users there must love being flooded with the same talking points every day.
I still don't know how to spoof my location on twitter. I need to larp as Japanese.
>>108539943Of course it does, if you live in a bubble you gradually become detached from reality. This happens in all communities. It's such an old concept that it even has a name, 'Groupthink'. It's how every major cult has been born.Online social media platforms that simply reward conformity and punish/ban radical thought eventually succumbs to it and becomes almost identical to living in a cult. Even this site has boards like that.
>>108539904Are you only just now starting to notice the concept of culture?
>>108539979I love Mastodon and I have had an account there for 10+ years but I almost never use it, it's good for niche things but it's full of people who effectively never interact with anyone because it's even deader than most altchans. I don't have another description for it other than "The social media site where everyone is together alone"
>>108541546modern politics taught me that culture isn't real and there's only one culture: the human culture.
>>108539979same extremist trannyware
I made a blusky one time and was banned for posting the most mundane shit I can't even remember. It wasn't even an opinion I think it was a repost and my new account is banned and flagged lol they preemptively ban accounts because they could potentially not be leftist.
>>108540094Everything needs an immune system. Why not debate? You know what we call open/free debate of bacteria? A lack of an immune system: AIDS.China rightfully censors their equivalent of miggers and they're running the world. I wonder why.
Media literacy is dead. News story about a far right idea growing in popularity, Interviewing people about why they are adopting the idea? "Actually, reporting that would be bad and immoral".Like would you rather they just ignore it and let it keep growing?A generation raised on whole word reading and tik tok level attention span can't get past their gut reaction of reading the first sentence and actually understand the article. People are so cooked from too much social media in their pocket.
>he doesn't know about the deep web chan where all the oldfags hang around nowadays
>>108539904Code doesn't matter. Management doesn't matter. What matters is momentum. It's hard to get anyone off Twitter/X because it's what they're uses to.
>>108540094You can say the same for rightoids, they just lash out and assert dominance whenever they're backed into a corner.Example: Trump got Stephen Colbert cancelled and Jimmy Kimmel pulled because they hurt his poor little feelings. Regardless of what you think of them and their opinions, they were within their free-speech right to mock him.
Late night TV is not the lucrative market it once was. Making a show that caters to about 35% of the possible audience probably wasn’t bright either.
>>108539979It's perfect for photography and some random niche hobbies. I swear, the cool shit I see on there sometimes mogs whatever the fuck Bluesky is capable of. Also Ebussy is on there, so it's entertaining.
>>108539943It literally does bluesky was barren until troons and their associates got assblasted by elon and moved.Now they cultivate and gatekeep this culture of no wrongthink allowed and they dogpile anyone that isn't kissing tranny feet.
I only use social media for bizarre fetish porn by and for the mentally unwell and I personally find bluesky to be superior for thatEvery time I look at twitter for anything it's a hellscape of nonsensical opinions, grok is this real and .ETH checkmark accounts with some ai generated bullshit. Every time I look at my bluesky I see furries with fat wobbly asses and fetishes so unknown they have single digit counts on e6. All that stuff is technically still on twitter too but because the artists who make that sort of work universally lean left they all headed to anti-twitterAlso the average person feels more 'real' as a whole. Even on political bullshit posts that go viral the responses are all real people with real, stupid opinions on things, which just blatantly isn't true for twitter no matter what side you sit politically
>>108542259>new account is banned and flaggedthis is called ban evading and you'll get banned if you do this on twitter too, retard
>>108542366>Media literacy is dead.Propaganda term created to control the narrative. You fell for it lmao
>>108539943bsky is more canadian
The way I see it most humans are not rational actors, they still cling onto evolved behaviors natural selection favored. Sort of like instincts. The deeply held political and moral views most of the population holds did not come from reason and critical thinking but rather their psychology type, geological environment, and cultural pressure all interacting together and more often then not most humans hold a 'we are at war' and 'they are the other' mentality. That's how humans evolved, natural selection favored that bullshit.Notice how MAGA larps about saving humanity from elite satanic cannibal pedos and accuses democrats and trans people of being behind that great evil cabal? That's what qanon was all about. A fantasy of the democrats being satanic pedo overlords.Notice how people on the far left call everyone they disagree with a nazi? and have fantasies about fighting nazis and setting up an anarcho communist trans girl revolution, where they get to do an epic Indiana Jones falcon punch on a nazi? THAT IS THE SAME BRAIN PROGRAM The same neurotransmitters firing. But adapted to a different tribe story. Both the far right and the far left are extreme us vs. them thinkers and hold a war mentality, that is how human brains evolved in prehistoric times to divide the world into two groups and duke it out against the out group. Both are just as delusional and immature. But the far right is much more dangerous because unlike the far left that just larps about highheels trans lesbian revolution the far right actually holds serious power and they are living out their immature fantasy in the real world and doing grave danger. That's why they are worse.https://vnews.com/2025/02/10/column-trump-s-golden-age-of-maga-tribalism-59328007/https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-they-us-vs-them_l_690b9aeae4b060444b1075bbEverything MAGA does is known to neuroscientist
>>108539904>Are we finally learning that the management (CEOs, boards, and engineers) of social media is more important than the code?When was social media ever about code and not user numbers?When Twitter was new, it was a crappy RubyOnRails app that was shitting itself over the traffic it got.A ton of better written Twitter clones were available almost instantly.
>>108546658the US is my favourite reality tv show
>>108539904Twitter is still just twitter. Plus most japanese artists didn't give a fuck about people having bitch fits and kept posting.Bluesky is all the worst people of reddit on a short form blogging site. It's a complete shithole. A few artists went there but now that the site pushes webps it's completely useless for collecting images.
>>108540037it's kind of hilarious that leftists self-exiled themselves to their own platforms once their censorship attempts to exile everyone else finally failed
>>108539904If you are a Rightoid on Bluesky, you get banned.If you are a Leftoid on twitter, you do not get banned.That's why twitter is successful while bluesky is a failed shitholed that nobody uses.
>>108540085Not at all.4chan is probably the least pedophilic Western platform there is.Only X cut down on them as well, because leftoids were looking for pedo shit on X after Elon bought it, to throw dirt on it, so they were forced to act. And then those pedos all followed the leftoids onto Blusky and mastodon.Reddit was literally founded around jailbait, that was their largest community in their first year. Facebook has pedo groups for as long as it exists. Google is used as the ultimate pedo search engine, if you know what terms to use. Which is funny, because Google is super shit for ordinary porn and all other search engines are better in that regard, but when its about pedoshit, Google rules.Meanwhile 4chan banned the loli board very early on. At a time when actual pedo shit was completely normalized on reddit, 4chan banned drawn characters.Its funny how there are vocal pedos here who always shout>4chan is full of pedos! We are regulars here!!!while in reality this is one of the most anti-pedo platform you can find.
>>108539904Pedosky is the Jack Dorsey era containment website created by American leftist reactionaries after their old Ashkenazi technocratic idol Elon Musk bought it out and upset them.
>>108539943Culture is downstream from law, law is downstream from politics.
