I have to be honest, I really don't see the Nazi salute on this one. I think @hpluckrose.bsky.social had this right: www.hpluckrose.com/p/stop-the-e... There's a real risk of losing credibility by continuing to pounce on video clips taken out of context.

We need to be serious grown-ups.

No matter what context or country, left wingers always seem convinced that the reason that the voters are embracing a right winger is because the left wing government was simply not left wing enough

To the extent this sentiment is shared, it's strong evidence that Substack is succeeding.

OMG @brianna.bsky.social is the most blocked person on this site. Unblock her, you cowards! 😂

Honest question. Does anyone actually value having a “marketplace” of algorithms? I predict this ends with charging us $8/mo for the “plain old timeline feed of my followers” algorithm.

This is the chief problem with using block lists. Blanket importing other folk's ideas about who you should and shouldn't listen to is fraught! "Starter packs" could be useful if we turned this inside out - for example, I'd love a curated list of smart good-faith conservatives (yes they exist!)

Social media: - Makes mental illness transmissible - Especially via politics - The "cure" for the mental illness it causes is to hole up in an online echo chamber - Those echo chambers drive news cycles, and therefore influence even those who abstain from it IOW it's superweapon against liberalism
