Agreed. As a member of the mainstream culture, I have strong negative emotions about how widespread & pervasive the bias is,. I try to be cognizant of my own biases and work to remove them, but yes, confirmation bias is very real. It leads humans to discount or not hear things outside our viewpoint.

Geri's still very much figuring out how to follow conversations here. Never did figure it out back in the Twitter days.

Hi, Will! I'm just finally starting to figure out how communication works here on Bluesky. Good to see you here.

Thanks!

I never managed to follow conversation threads on Twitter. Thanks for the hints; very useful.

Thanks! Followed you back. See you soon!

Howdy. I'm now following you. :-)

Huzzah & *whew*.

And I'm now on Bluesky. For my next trick, I'll figure out how to post on my account, and also add a profile pic.
