This is entirely true. A lot of the high value posters have moved here, people who intelligently discuss important topics, report on news that major media outlets are often so slow on, and whats more... the trolls, hate comments, and slurs are a tiny fraction of what they are on Elon's twitter.
Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.
It happened many months ago due to the Supreme Court Twitter ruling on elected officials that required adding disclosure language in bio & there weren’t enough characters left. The right wing made a fake story that it happened after the election. They’re still up on my Instagram & elsewhere
I agree on the centrist point and frankly there are a lot of people out there who are just saying what they need to say to cover their ass and cash a check. It sucks. The Cheney thing is a clear example of a bad idea that the people who pushed it won’t take responsibility for. They need to
AIPAC went after less targets than they suggested they would. And some of our strongest pickups in PA, IL survived. I think that’s worth exploring. Reflection doesn’t automatically mean capitulation or left-punching. It can mean actively identifying the strategies that are actually *working,* too.
Yes, stances are ethical. But if we want change, ethical stances must have power. That is political. One can be right and criticize others who aren’t, sure. And that is important. But then what? How do we flourish? We need to help the right thing win, and good people build. Electoral or not
This is not to suggest we shouldn’t take these stances. We do! But it is to say the opposite - we have a responsibility to take stances that protect human life AND grow their power, too. Not settle for keeping them in obscurity or the margins forever as oppression takes the day.
The progressive left had a very difficult year electorally. We lost several very strong seats in Congress - some of the only voices that stood for Palestinians. Didn’t pick up much. We can reflexively blame others/the system or we can re-tool, look inward, figure out where to build and go next.
Like one bee’s nest I’ve been thinking about electorally is how we cannot make the case that if an elected takes X position (ex. embargo) it will deliver voters if the left isn’t yet able to successfully turn out for pols who do. The organizing, resources, etc needs to back up the rhetoric to win
They have their own TV channels, personalities, media. They deride fact checking and (well) moderated debate. They buy social media platforms to manipulate algorithms and amplify content that suits their preferred ends and worldview. What they are threatened by are places of alignment + organizing
One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
There have been a lot of times where I feel like we need to have honest discussions on the left about what has worked and what hasn’t, share observations without judgement, but it feels like there isn’t much space for it. I think it’s holding us back. I wonder how and where we can accomplish that.
We need a real organizer and machine builder. Laser focused. Yes, fundraising is crucial, but we need someone who can build the infrastructure for resources to be deployed effectively. I want someone with a record of knowing how to WIN with working people and preserving our values. They exist!
What are you looking for in the next DNC chairperson, that can help us win in 2026 and beyond?
A lot of people are shocked by the “points on the board” phrase - as was I - but it was also shocking how common I heard this and other game-type metaphors. Many who are deeply disconnected from the harm do view and talk about it privately as a kind of sport. It is gross 🤢
