You destroyed it single handed.

You got Meathead to respond to one of your tolling posts! Now work on Sulu.

No. He never responded to me. I did get new followers tho.

I've gotten Sulu to respond to me on X. Years ago.

Remember to ask them if they shaved their head yet.

How will they survive without Reiner's status reports on his child sacrifices in his basement dungeon? His gallons of raving spittle will be missed.

Thin skinned snowflake!

Let him make is own bed. Acknowledging it only feeds the fire. Right and conservatives have the troll game down. But bringing up loser like this doesn't make any sense. It's a waste of time. Troll the party and not the person.

That's why they're called snowflakes - breath on them and they melt.

He isn't a snowflake. He's a gibbering Deep State automaton ticker tape reader squealing for his fix. His scrap of fame makes him feel important, but you can assume he is a moral vacuum in person.

I saw his father once rushing through an airport. He didn't seem like as big an asshole as his son has become, but he did have that 'celebrity' self recognizance that I remember from my sojourn in West LA in the day.

That open call for murder is clearly a crime in itself.

she wants someone to do her dirty work for her.

When is Bluesky going to have a sticky for pizza sales?

The problems started right away. Unfortunately, departing progressives made a little too much of a song about it on their way out Twitter’s digital doors. The vacuum created by their sudden departure sucked with it a bunch of conservative trolls and trouble-makers, curious about the opportunity to develop a whole new, unblemished wilderness of wokeness (many lakeside parcels remain available!).

BlueSky’s long-timers (i.e., roughly two years), who until now had been happily and peacefully enjoying their carefully curated, conservative-free community, were appalled and outraged by the newcomers. They demanded BlueSky’s management do something to stop these intolerant interlopers. And like it was hit by a Russian Poseidon nuclear tsunami missile, the exploding conflict washed over the fledgling platform in an all-hands discussion over free speech versus muscular moderation.

It became obvious that, over the two years since its formation, presumably adjusting to market forces, BlueSky had quietly de-emphasized outright banning people and strengthened its individual tools for blocking undesired folks. In other words, one user can block another and never again have to see the blocked user’s posts, or vice-versa. It is the digital equivalent of ghosting a relative who voted for Trump.

In other words, another thing that they eventually stole from Twitter and FB.

Mgmt doesn't want to do any such thing. They want to grow the platform so they can cash out.
