So why did it happen? Seems the shift from proper fact-checking of
postings to relying on “community-driven” feedback was a factor.
So-called “freedom of speech absolutism” (as defined by the anti-woke

Unsurprisingly, the people behind Debian are choosing to remain tone
dead to the winds of change sweeping society right now. Despite it being
inconvenient to them, the reality is that conservatism not only won, but
it quickly becoming the default position. Nobody even wants to hear
about what the "progressive" "liberal" "social democrats" think because
they have not only completely discredited themselves, it has become
clear to even the dumbest elements of society that they fabricate
controversies at will. Apparently, Debian is stubbornly insisting on
remaining on the fringe because some faggots claim their feelings are hurt.

Speaking of a Woke Culture drone, the misnamed "vallor" shows up right on

partisan cultist because you project your own brain-rot, knee-jerk,
cancel-cult behavior on everyone else.

Yokoscotty seems to enjoy living in an echo chamber.

That's all they can handle and why they're leaving TwitterX in droves. It's
no longer simply an echo chamber, where anyone who disagrees with them is
"canceled." They can't stand someone believing something other than what
their brain-dead Woke cult "teaches" (or rather brainwashes them into
believing). No logic is involved. It's all predicated on emotion.

It's actually funny to me the way that they are migrating to BlueSky
because they've done it before with Mastodon and Threads and both of
them failed. They ignore that without people disagreeing with you, there
is no need for conversation. Preaching to the choir is boring, that's
why X was always the place to go: because there are always lots of
people going there strictly to disagree with you for the sake of
conversation.

Except in the old Twitter if someone made a good point to counter the Woke

Absolute fact and a widely reported one.

Now that the Woke cultists can't automatically have
the last word on TwitterX, their miffed. So now they're going to BlueSky
which they hope will become a new "old" Twitter. Unfortunately for them, it
will become a completely boring echo chamber with about 100% preaching to
the choir (as you say). So yes, it's probably destined to nosedive into
oblivion, kind of like CNN and MSNBC.

Much like Reddit bans anyone who shows even a hint of conservatism,
BlueSky seems to be doing the same. Those legitimately looking for a
conversation will stick to X and will have to swallow their pride if
they are bombarding by opposing opinions. However, it's not the opposing
opinions that bother them; it's the fact that they no longer have the
power to punish anyone for daring to speak them.

 
Agreed. Control freaks freak out when they can't control. They're sometimes
called "Karens." I don't know how that name got used, but I know what they
mean when they use it. I've seen these crazy people freaking out.

I was banned from two professional wrestling websites for pointing out
that women will get seriously injured if the "sport" accepts men who
identify as women to wrestle against them. It's homophobic to worry that
a man's superior strength might result in a woman never walking again,
after all.

The most obvious truths are "controveresial" to these brain-dead, Woke
morons.
