...and they're still too weak willed to do anything other than jump ship to another corporate shithole that's sure to enshittify (Bluesky literally owes millions to Blockchain Capital). Then they yell "I'll just move to the next big thing when that's over!" (Nevermind that you've created another billionaire who will use their money to influence politics in the process) Man, these people really love the capital class just exploiting the living shit out of their lives every step of the way, don't they? Because learning a different system that doesn't have corporate polish is too hard. Better to just get all your data sucked up and exploited time and time again rather than choosing a non-corporate option that doesn't involve making a small number of people obscenely rich just because you used their social media.

Humans are fucking trash.

Bluesky already started to give special treatment to some far-right agitators (Jesse Singal), so the enshittification might begin even before the monetization.

Also someone have yet to write anything with ATProto to give Bluesky some reality check.

bit of a sanctimonious comment, fascism feels like a perfectly fair line for the early and late majorities to draw. it takes a lot of energy to move half a billion people—that doesn’t make the early exiters morally better, just better positioned and informed.

Not literal

Experts agree that trump isn't a fascist (although they also agree that that doesn't make it any better)

The first article doesn't say he's not fascist (unless I missed it somehow or it got lost in translation. I'm an English only pleb)

And I found the second article (in English 😅) since your link has it paywalled. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/oct/29/trump-rally-fascism-politics

I understand the argument, but don't find it overwhelmingly convincing. They even start the article mentioning how well respected historians believe he's fascist, as well as former White House staff.

I'd argue that just because he's not been totally supportive of violence doesn't excuse the times he was promoting violence. And I think his actions show he would be more openly supportive of violence if he knew he could get away with it
