I can't say that I'm overly familiar with the Bluesky Three Arrows crowd, but bsky is generally just Lib central.

Lib central

Bluesky was fun before the 2016 election. It had a "back to brunch" vibe and I could eavesdrop. But then the site became mostly lame. And now it's (very) tedious on top of that. An example - people are arguing about the 2028 presidential race and Newsom in particular. But not a way that's insightful, amusing or c/slop-worthy. Plus there are "Why do people keep talking about 2028 presidential race and Newsom in particular?" meta-posts.

being anti-communist via euphemism is perfectly acceptable.

I realized I wasn't clear so I edited my post. Somebody simply saying "I'm anti-communist" is so uncouth. It just won't do.
