I think Bluesky is currently in the phase of life where the masses haven't arrived yet, which makes it useful for the kind of specialist discussions that Minsky enjoys.  Since it seems to be turning into a bit of a homebase for the left, I would imagine that it'll get worse over time.  And at some point they'll have to let the bots in so that they can boost their user numbers and scam dumb-money advertisers (who are the currency that social media operates on). 

If home of the left means absence of the idiotic right, I'm OK with that

Also the American right has shown itself to be morally and intellectually bankrupt so not sure said absence is a negative.

I've seen some business like Wizards of the Coast now have accounts.

I don't recall exactly what I knew but I was generally aware as I recall thinking I'd never buy this game giving statements from its creator.

(Call this the Gordon Brown Fallacy.)

I laughed out loud at this. 

That was fairly harsh, but kind of fair.  When was the last time that a German Chancellor made anyone feel something positive?  But I guess it's a small sample size.  Since Kohl and the reunification, there's only been three people in that role, and Merkel was probably the best of them.

And while Christian prayer can sometimes be obvious, it really doesn't have to be

And in fact it shouldn't be.  Matthew 6:5-7.  Mind you, there are advantages to corporate prayer, but there is no showy requirement.

Oh looks like it was post back in 2020. If you look her up on LinkedIn she's trying to be an influencer.

Yeah, but bad enough either way
