Toni did a very good interview about letting communities have their own moderation, enabling communities, never forcing an algorithm, driving traffic to other platforms without downranking and The Verge clips... this. Knowing the audience of the site, it honestly feels like a backstab.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

the disclaimer "pls don't send hate to anyone mentioned" pisses me off so much too, bc creators know full well that some unhinged ppl *will* do this exact thing now that they're made aware of someone whose greatest crime is that they are just annoying af

i hate that it seems like there is a new lolcow being produced every week, and we're supposed to be under the impression that they are the worst person to ever exist...only to find out that they're just extremely cringe at worst, but ultimately harmless outside of the court of social media 😒

This isn't even like, conspiracism or historical revisionism or anything, I was literally there as this was happening and people at the time were like, "Wow what an obvious fucking con, this sucks," and it's insane to me that that didn't like, stick around in more people's heads.

there were definitely early focused efforts to shift public opinion but they were more focused on copyright maximalism. karla ortiz raised ~200k from small artist communities for copyright lobbyists specifically, for example, and popularized a lot of that sentiment/fears in those spaces.

I don’t really do conspiracy theorizing based on what sounds cute but I’d believe it if there was a bit of evidence. it doesn’t take any special effort to make people believe things they really want to believe. it can also backfire by inflaming opposition. it’s a risky move
