This proves something I've been saying for a while. There's such thing as a negative network effect. If you make your platform a safe space for a specific group of people, it becomes exclusionary to everyone else. Bsky could have totally taken back the Twitter audience, but instead it harbored a community of leftists butthurt over the election. They don't even need to gatekeep because everyone else feels out of place there.

>>105865391 (OP)
It's so much worse than you could possibly believe

>>105865524
Like 99% of users are people insane scolds. dril's posts get like 50 replies scolding him for not doing land acknowledgement before posting or some insane leftist ritual du jour.

Is it any different than Truth Social?

>>105865697
isn't trump the only one that uses truth social

>>105865629
Based as fuck

It fell into a purity spiral, as anyone who doesn't agree with everything was pushed out. As the more moderate leftists were pushed out, the "everything" that had to be agreed with became more and more extreme, causing more people to be pushed out. Now it's just the radioactive core of mental illness that remains, dishing out constant destruction to any exposed to it.

>leftoids had twitter as a safe space for more than a decade
>rightoids suddenly were allowed in, causing turmoil between the directions
>rightoids were perfectly happy coexisting on the same platform with leftists and getting into flamewars but not banning anyone (like on 4cuck)
>leftoids were so mad they literally had to leave the platform and create another platform where rightoids are banned
>there is no rightoid equivalent (truth social doesn't count because nobody asked for it and only trump posts there) and rightoids continue to happily argue with leftoids on the original twitter
This says more about leftoids than rightoids

Gab is the conservative version but there have been leftists there who paid for accounts, I guess in an attempt to "educate" conservatives. Those were allowed but anything involving sexual degeneracy quickly gets nuked.

bluesky is the libtard truth social. both sites are filled with annoying and obnoxious wingcucks. we should be celebrating their existence because they keep the obnoxious wingcucks away in their own echo chambers and not talking to us.

>>105865859
Because these sites massively influence real life culture. Yes, some faggot getting a tweet with 50k likes influences the decisions of billion dollar CEOs. That's reality.

>>105865837
I have never understood why anything thinks shit like this matters. If someone posts something, all that matters is if someone reads it and finds it valuable. A post with a billion likes just means an algorithm wants it to look important.

>>105865909
people still think any of the traffic on twitter is "organic" and thus indicative of being more active
fact is bluesky was the first "alt-media" to cause any serious shakeups in the social media sphere, by being actually good instead of "twitter but abysmal dogshit but you can say the nigger word (which you can do on twitter now anyway)"

>>105865909
>all that matters is if someone reads it and finds it valuable

Getting 70 views on a post with 10000 followers is not normal.

An actual, organic internet is where 90% of the traffic functions as a flash mob.

>>105865994
No, you're just wrong, and are showing you don't actually use any form of social media. If you have thousands, if not tens of thousands of followers, getting double of triple digit views on your content shows your popularity is entirely fake.

>>105866017
I've literally seen full on actual people advertising hard drugs on Bluesky. Coke. Heroin. Meth.

>>105866030
>No, you're just wrong
Nope, I'm just right.

It was JUST explained you what is actually happening on those accounts. It was JUST explained to you why that's normal. The internet is supposed to be full of ghost towns that everybody gave entirely too much attention to for two days 15 years ago and nobody much has visited since. The fact that you can find social media accounts that AREN'T being influenced by some ephemeral algorithm to smooth out their popularity and you find that appalling shows that you have no idea how the internet is supposed to work.

>>105866062
Bro, those accounts are just people screaming about Trump and Republicans, with 10k follow for followers, and three likes in terms of engagement. I don't know what fucked up retarded philosophy you're trying to spew, but I'm sure talking to you more would reveal you're some kind of schizo retard.

>>105866034
Real hardworking entrepreneurs at least.

>>105866084
>Bro, those accounts are just people screaming about Trump and Republicans
Is this supposed to mean something? That'd be normal if it was true. Here I just went to the website and scrolled down until I found one you were talking about. This doesn't look like 10k subs and 3 likes. This account has 40k subs and a normal amount of interaction. Your claim isn't true.

Second of all, your claim just now JUST CHANGED. All you care about is defending Trump, otherwise you wouldn't be making this stuff up, and you wouldn't be dancing around the FACT that the internet is supposed to be hyperbolic rises and falls in popularity. You wouldn't be bringing up any of this.

A normal social media site should be full of dead accounts that still have a trillion subs for no reason cause unsubbing isn't a thing. Fact. You just care about politics so you're trying to make up a narrative.

Almost 20k followers. Latest post got four likes.

https://bsky.app/profile/dave-hayes.bsky.social

Another one. Almost 10k followers. Latest post, five likes.

https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:76q57jzidgkngaubnawq727j

31k followers. Latest post two likes. None of these are "dead" accounts. They're all active.

>>105866034
links or ban

>>105865621
The issue is that the people who wanted to leave xitter because of the forced politics still had politics forced on them on bluesky. The moment you make a new account you're bombarded with retarded self-masturbatory leftist posts. You also have no way of escaping it unless you have people you were already planning to follow.

>>105866007
You could exit the false dichotomy you entrapped yourself in and realize they both shit.

>>105865524
but nearly everyone in my school use this thing. are you trying to say my school is full of extraordinary people?

>>105866214
You are linking accounts that just relink things and then are complaining that their own posts naturally have low numbers. The people are subscribing to see the relinks.

This is normal. Attention is only drawn to them in a hyperbolic manner in the way real humans give attention.

>>105866257

You mad. See >>105865994.

>>105866257
No, these people post things, too. They just aren't popular. All these accounts are massive follow for follow schemes, which is the majority of the site. People following each other, and reposting things, trying to gain an audience, but no one actually cares. 10k followers, and no engagement.

>>105866292
>People following each other, and reposting things, trying to gain an audience, but no one actually cares
Logically impossible. Thousands of people are, according to you, clicking on those relinks. What you are saying isn't true. You have an agenda. There is no chance you aren't a right winger who is upset that those people are just using the internet normally.

>>105866310
>Thousands of people are, according to you, clicking on those relinks

What do you mean by this? They aren't clicking them on any of the account types I linked. They scavenge other accounts for anything with a vague hint of popularity, and then repost it, hoping to gain some of that popularity themselves. But even then, most of the "popular" accounts still regularly get posts with sub 100 likes.

https://bsky.app/profile/olgalautman.bsky.social

Here's an account with 100k followers, and only is following 500 people. Latest original post is 48 likes. Post before that is 102 likes. That's a fucking ghost town. One hundred thousand fucking followers.

>>105866278
>you don't understand that actual chaotic interaction at a large scale is almost universally a series of 15 minutes of fame with a different person winning the lottery every time. An actual, organic internet is where 90% of the traffic functions as a flash mob.

>>105866336
>What do you mean by this? They aren't clicking them on any of the account types I linked.
Yes they are. You're just making that up. The reason those people are there is they are clicking those links.

That account you just linked is someone who just relinks things as well. It just that she changed from using the site itself to using substack later so it isn't working as well anymore. You are in denial and I am right.

>>105866348
If only there was a qualifier, like, I dunno, if I had "90%" or something.

>>105866365
>Yes they are. You're just making that up.

What? Do you know how reposts work? Or social media engagement in general works? Just because someone reposts something, doesn't mean anyone else is going to engage with it. If something has 48 likes, it has 48 likes. There aren't secretly 20000 people engaging with it.

You don't see the sheer absurdity of an account with 100000 followers averaging out at 100 likes a post? That's not even a 1% engagement rate with your followers.

No, retard, people are just clicking the links. That's why there's thousands of subscribers. Do YOU know how this works? You actually see a page with thousands of declared subscribers and think the popular links it shows aren't the reason it has subscribers? Are you retarded? We aren't talking about the posts they made themselves.

Oh wait you aren't retarded, you're right wing, that's correct. You're willfully retarded on purpose.

>>105865391 (OP)
Why what happened?

>>105866425
>No, retard, people are just clicking the links.

No. They're follow for follows. lmao. This is OLD internet shit, which you seem to be championing? Back the day, on youtube, you'd have people begging in the comments: "subscribe to me, I'll subscribe to you!" Bluesky has an entire system for that called "starter packs," where you can click one button, and instantly get following all the people in the "pack," without ever even looking at their account. If you're part of the same clique, you'll get added to a pack too. It's a fake engagement scheme.

>>105866441
>No. They're follow for follows
Nope, just in your head. I wonder why.

The rest of your post is just handwaving.

>>105866454
Okay, so you've given up on engaging with the conversation. "No, these accounts are clearly active, and just clicking the links." What proof do you have? They aren't engaging with the posts themselves. They aren't liking, or commenting. You essentially have to assume and have faith there's engagement. I'm explaining to you that Bluesky has a built in system to generate false popularity.

>>105866463
>Okay, so you've given up on engaging with the conversation
No I'm not, you're stating a fallacy and have been this whole time because you're a rightwinger. I haven't changed my argument once this whole conversation. You're just wrong and can't get around that.

People are addicted to outrage and twitter algorithms give them it.
It's kind of depressing, but that's how it goes. Anger is the easiest human emotion to exploit and the world knows twitter is the place to go wild and hate yourself.

>>105866474
What fallacy am I stating? I am looking at accounts with massive amounts of followers, but engagement in the triple, double, or even single digits. This is not normal.

>>105866278
We are prolly saying the same thing in different perspectives but I am eager for you to make it simple to me in order to show me how much you understand this shit.

>>105866484
>What fallacy am I stating?
Everything you've said so far. Your argument is false and has been shown as such. The "engagement" btw is just clicking links. You're trying to deny that this is normal. It's normal.

>>105866496
What fallacy am I engaging in? Please, articulate yourself. I am looking at data here. Large amounts of followers. Low amounts of engagement. You have no data on anyone clicking links. You're assuming use and engagement off of nothing.

>What fallacy am I engaging in?

>>105866534
I've argued and pointed out what you've said wrong multiple times. You're a retard who is lying to everyone here trying to force a narrative. Those are normal accounts you've linked doing normal things and you're loudly pretending otherwise. I wonder why.

>>105866544
even leftoids on bluesky complain about the very high amount of follower bots...

>>105866463
Just expounding upon this a bit, there are third party (and sometimes) first party processes for generating likes, views, comments, subscribers, and/or “engagement” on all popular social media sites nowadays. There is very little “organic” about any of them. They are a cancer on society and should be purged.

>>105865598
I wanted to mute accounts with the troon flag but I can't get it to work as it's not being rendered properly (it shows up as a white flag + trans symbol like in your pic)
I wonder if that's intentional, but then again I abandoned leftsky when the JP artists I follow went back to twitter so I don't care as much

>>105865391 (OP)

gab.ai?

A gabbai (Hebrew: גבאי), sometimes spelled gabay, also known as shamash (שמש, sometimes transcribed shamas) or warden (UK, similar to churchwarden), is a beadle or sexton, a person who assists in the running of synagogue services in some way. The role may be undertaken on a voluntary or paid basis. A shamash (literally 'servant') or gabbai can also mean an assistant to a rabbi (particularly the secretary or personal assistant to a Hasidic rebbe).

>>105865848
Gab is the most popular mastodon instance.
They don't just allow lefties, they have also lots of far right dudes going after cuckservatives. And cuckservatives whining about the evil nazis. And they have israeli supporting zogbots as well. And wignats (so: Israeli supporting zogbots). And far left the Stalin guys.

If you had ANY political opinion on Gab, you got challenged. It was the closest to free space of opinions you can get.
The only political direction that is missing is leftoid liberals - so the dudes who love their dead BlueSky safe space.

>>105868048
Gab died with their AI bullshit and with their attempt to put image posts behind paywalls.
And Torba handled Musks takeover of twitter wrong. He made gab WORSE just when that happened.

>>105866482
People do like positive content - in a positive world.
Miserable people mostly do not want to see other people happy and successful - and if they do, they identify through them (celebrity simping low-class waste).
If you are living in a country that gets worse every single year, with no end in sight, you will be less engaged with positive content and flock more to the hateful stuff.
And your government wants you hateful. All the Western platforms are government adjacent and filled with glowfags. They want you to hate

Compare this to Chinese platforms. The country is doing better every year and on a seemingly infinite upwards trajectory, and the content you see on their social media is happy and encouraging.

Or even South Korea. South Korea is a dystopia, but they are just a bit past a massive economic boom, so KPOP is upbeat songs and cheerful.

>>105868133
>All the Western platforms are government adjacent and filled with glowfags. They want you to hate
no they just don't want any white racial consciousness and solidarity and they want everyone stupefied, delusional and debt enslaved
anything to invert the 14 words

>>105868151
Currently, they need those "racial conscious whites" to be ready to die for them in a war and they will breed "white supremacists" like they did breed them in Ukraine or like they did breed ISIS.
You are just directed to focus your hate on muslims and cheer for "those shitskins dying" or on defending the globohomo empire, because globohomo is white.

The important thing is: Hate.
It doesn't matter who you hate and for what reason, as long as you hate.
You hate jews? No issue! Did you know that Putin is actually jewish and that Xi Jinping loves jews?

Unity and solidarity doesn't happen through hate, it happens through common goals and by helping each other.
>i vote x because i hate y
good goy!
>i vote x because he will do those things that are good for us
bad goy!
You can't be disappointed by broken promises, or demand that promises are being kept, if you only voted because "the other guy is worse".
So even thought that democracy is fake and gay, this fake system still benefits from hate. It helps them keep the illusion.

>>105868202
its obvious that the current governmental class is motivated by hatred, spite and fear. they dont care that their systems are failing. they are completely sclerotic and demented. who knows how bad things will get. racially conscious white people will not fight a war for these bloodsuckers.

>>105867989
Wasn't it because musk said they'd use twatter posts to train grok?
That's why most artists left the platform for shitsky.

>>105868305
That, too
But honestly I don't think that was major factor
See the hundreds of artists coping with their huge ass watermarks instead of leaving Twitter for good

>>105868262
>racially conscious white people will not fight a war for these bloodsuckers
I wouldn't bet on that, because history shows us the opposite.

In fact, there are so many goys, that a few draft dodgers don't even matter.
You get 330 million people in the USA and 400 million people in the EU and all of them are "modern democracies" with governments who hate them and who all collectively shill for the same wars on the same side with the same propaganda.
730 million goys.
The German army in WW2 had 17 Million men.
So you only need 2.3 % of the goys to launch the largest meat grinder in human history.

The pure numerical amount of goys is their strength. If they wanted to, they could get 70 million goy soldiers to die in trenches.
Far more than any of their adversaries, short of China. So keep China out somehow, and you can zergrush anyone with an endless wave of goy meat.
... the issue is not the people, it is the gear.... they can't do that technologically.
They can't arm the goys, even if they could, they can't even defend even against Iranian missiles.
So war isn't going to happen anytime soon, just not out of the reasons you think.
