isn't it owned by some taiwanese fascist instead? really owning me w/ that i guess

edit: idk who the fuck I'm thinking of because google is insisting there's no taiwanese people involved with it. it's still a liberal shithole idk why we needed 2 of them

    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

    ...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

    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

    Its a con. Liberals got mad at twitter and instead of going to anything else they went to bluesky because they bought into the idea that it is some mythical twitter that didn't have algorithm and wasn't owned by bad conservates. It would be "federated' " eventually " along with a bunch of other promises.

    They literally went to it because musk bad and this new thing looks and acts like twitter. Couldn't get anyone to anything else to save my life (was a social media manager) and I just kept getting these bullshit excuses and it always boiled down to the same shit.
