I replied to your OP in good faith anyway.

And I understand your arguments for why public figures use it.
I don't understand why normal people would. Unless they also think that Arbeit Macht Frei. Previous Message
…..you follow on BlueSky and compare their audience on X.
Eg Bernie Sanders 541k BS 14m X
Owen Jones 118k BS 1m X
I can’t even find the Sweden PM on BlueSky, nor Starmer for that matter.
One of the better Everton accounts TacticallyMatt has 2.8k BS 27.5k X.
Oh and on X we have Azul, which is enough in itself ;-) Previous Message
There's no battleground there, it's lost.
For Bluesky, I dunno. It's as alive & busy for me as twitter previously was. Maybe just from a niche, core of pals I guess, but more than enough for me to not need to dial in to the Joseph Goebbels Hour. Previous Message
First off I’m not going to pay for a blue tick.
Musk is a disgrace but this is the battleground discourse. There are plenty of very good people on there fighting their corner. And also a lot of ‘left’ extremes too. All the politicians are using it, because they understand this.
‘For you’ timeline depends on what you interact with. Mine jumps from populism/racism ( as I speak out and push back against it constantly ) to Everton to Israel/Gaza to ZeroCovid/AntiVax accordingly. But obviously you can choose just to view those you follow.
I tried BlueSky and it’s shit. Dead. Irrelevant. Maybe it’s ok for Everton but so is X. X is a cesspit in places but has a range of opinions and unfortunately reflects the world we live in.

What would it take for you to leave the Nazi app?
I see their Dear Leader is calling for civil war in the UK, and for us to follow brave men 'like Tommy Robinson'.
I had a look on it (deleted account some time ago) and it is almost completely racism, post by post.
Is your fantasy football fucking tips worth legitimising hate?
I dunno, just seems mad to me.
