Bluesky wants to prioritize some killjoys dropping in threads of big accounts, but every time you check a trending topic you have grifters showing a kitten with its head caved in.

Journalists have a responsibility note to enable or engage with fascists

Looks like Joever jokes are Joever too 😔

Dude, “gotchas” aren’t going to make them stop being fascists. The best case is you’re dealing with someone who is just blindly following along and you can’t logic someone out of a belief they didn’t logic their way into.

The more likely case is you’re dealing with a bad actor.

Oh, that’s easy. You just gotta make a culturally significant video game that also stands out from the crowd and becomes a smash hit.

Yes, the LEOs at Portland were actually scared of the person in the frog suit because they are all trained like they’re being dropped into Iraq circa 2005.

It is also possible I spent too much time on Reddit when they came out and shouldn’t trust any discussion there.

Played a few generally panned games (Outer Worlds, Tiny Tinas) I noticed the biggest difference from previous similar titles is openly gay characters.

When the review brigading stopped the chuds didn’t just quit. They look for minor flaws and use that to make their negative reviews.

Cait’s post piqued my curiosity, so I checked which recent block lists I’m on. In a different thread I suggested this guy was a fed and shortly after get added to a list of “Knowers”
