OK, so the whole Bluesky is dying thing. There were a load of people who left X after Elon's salute, me included, and some haven't stayed. Fair enough. But Bluesky isn't dying, it's finding its level. The people who stay are here because X is chock full of cunts, and Bluesky isn't. That's it.

something that wrinkles my brain every time I remember it is the fact that total eclipses are only possible on earth because the moon and sun appear to be the same size in our sky, due to the insanely, astronomically unlikely fluke that the moon is 400x smaller than the sun but 400x closer to us.
