I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.

The thing about Twitter versus Bluesky is that the right needs liberals on Twitter to make it feel worthwhile, whereas the left doesn’t need conservatives on Bluesky to make it feel worthwhile.

FYI. RFK Jr. has blamed AIDS not on HIV but on a "gay lifestyle" and poppers (classic homophobic AIDS denialism), and Tony Fauci. In his book, and on Rogan’s podcast, he praised Peter Duesberg, the founder of AIDS Denialism.
