As for unjust wars, World War I is an instance in which both sides fought for imperialist interests; therefore, the Communists of the whole world firmly opposed that war.

BlueSky hitting 100M would be maybe vaguely comforting news.

Meta getting 3 garden-walled social media platforms is not.

I’m hella skeptical of BlueSky being worth it. The biggest problem on Twitter was always moderation and the lack of mods. From what I’ve heard, BlueSky does nothing new on that front. It is just another hellsite in the making.

Bluesky has a racism slider built into the settings page, that kind of stuff makes it dead on arrival for “normies” under the age of 35.

Twitter pre-Musk was rough, but at least it didn’t openly promote fascist content while removing accurate content

Twitter post-Musk started doing that, but at least its reputation was so shit that people distrusted it

I am not looking forward to Twitter 2, run by the most systematically, deliberately, and effectively pro-fascist social media company which everyone lets themselves forget about

Both Instagram and Facebook comments are a unique hell of bigotry, so yeah not looking forward to this.

The more idiot rich people embarrass themselves publicly, the more the illusion of the great capitalist innovator lifts. Imo let them fight.

My boss yesterday was talking about how it’s so weird those OceanGate sub people would be so dumb since surely they’d have to be smart to make that much money.
