It will be interesting to see what happens with X as people can join from aged 13 and there is plenty of pornography on there. Musk seems to think he can do whatever he pleases, so I can see X being eventually geoblocked. IMO this won't be a bad thing and should be a major incentive to people to switch to Blue Sky.

They advertise themselves as being 'what social media should be', which I assume to mean that it is professionally run with appropriate moderation policies.
The same Bluesky that saw a glut of child porn being posted late last year, at the exact-same-time the hand-wringing hard left staged a mass walkout of Twitter?

The Bluesky that has about 100 content moderators against Twitter’s 2,000-plus? (And only has 100 because it had to quadruple the staff to cope with the child porn outbreak).

The Bluesky that is, by design, harder to moderate because it’s decentralised? (unlike Twitter which is still centrally controlled)

You appear to be conflating a personal dislike for the politics of Twitter’s owner with an assumption that Twitter is less wholesome or less moral than the alternatives. Newsflash: humans are awful, and they take the same sh*t with them wherever they go.

You might want to reflect a little before simping for what is, after all, just another social media site.
