I mean a lot of the 'I'm holier than twitter/bluesky' opinions I see seem to focus on how 'awful' they are but conveniently leave out that Twitter up until Musk bought it was the place for getting breaking news for over a decade. I don't think it is hard to conceive as to why people would've wanted to jump ship when Elon started rolling out things like grok. To call Twitter a liberal shithole in 2026 is kinda crazy anyways given that it is most definitely a 'fascist shithole' and has been for sometime with the whole 'grok generate an image of this user naked'

You could very well say the same thing about reddit/lemmy - why do we need two reddits when lemmy as a whole is a liberal shithole as well??? bleh

But lemmy has hexbear

also i was calling bluesky a liberal shithole but it's really a same-picture situation

...Hexbear is famously run by a liberal clique of power users who want nothing more than to get Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez elected as the 48th President of the United States

I’d like to make one clarification. Hexbear is full of liberals, except for me, I’m the one true leftist on the site

as much as i've had occasional problems with hexbear administration idk I fully trust y'all only to support such an outcome out of sheer terminal irony poisoning

also I had to google like, who is the 47th, and idk IMO they shouldn't count dudes twice just because their terms are out of order, they're just juicing their president count

you should never trust a moderator or administrator of any platform, they will always let you down dean-smile

Guess who demanded that Boeing's upcoming F-22 replacement must be called the F-47.
