Like I said the other week, we thought everyone had or should have bought into our liberal view of the world, political correctness etc, when in reality at least half of us havent.
We have made it easy for them in some ways, last week I was something something where they were discussing the use of the words, nigger and faggot in popular music, they always s/ aid the f word or n word, thats just mental isnt it Then there is, coloured person being a phrase that will get you cancelled, but person of colour is totally acceptable. Mad shit like this has fuelled the fire.

...seems to be quite a community building up on the latter.
I'd had a dormant account on bsky for a while, was waiting to see if it picked up.
Since the US election, I noticed lots of activity, new followers, posts, it's suddenly become lively, dare I say, viable even as an alternative. It seems a while bunch of people have taken the US election as the point at which it all has become too much.
Everton aside, lots of people who I followed on X, journos etc, are at least now also posting on bsky.
I'll very happily ditch X in the near future, it's just become a cesspit in many ways, with the owner the biggest troll of all!
