If you want Bluesky to take down Twitter, you should want Bluesky to become home for a wider variety of content. That doesn't mean they should allow Nazis on here, of course. But keeping this a safe echo chamber is way less valuable than breaking the hold of the Zuccs and Elons of the world.

Everyone who thinks pollsters are bad at their job when elections have unexpected outcomes should be required to take an applied statistics course where they generate and tinker with binomial distributions in Python with Numpy and Matplotlib
