The primary fault lines are age, gender, and race - young people, men, and racial minorities are the most optimistic about AI.

Bluesky's power users are in favor of violent threats, as long as the people receiving them "deserve" them. This is a much more complex and subjectivity-laden stance to take than the mods' stance, which is violent threats are always bad. The power users hate the mods for this.
