Nate Silver's big list of grievances Highlight

— Garbage DaySo, just to summarize what Silver has laid out here. So you really understand how dumb this all is. Bluesky has no influence, even though it saw an insane amount of growth last year. And has come out of that spike about double the size it was before. And has stayed that popular. The leftist ideology on the site, “Blueskyism” as he calls it, is not a coherent political movement, though, but Democrats should ignore it, regardless. But it also predates Bluesky. Silver admits that most of the people he personally hates on Bluesky were posting the same stuff on Twitter back when it was Twitter. Also, much of what’s being put on Bluesky is completely indistinguishable from what you see from liberals and leftists on X. Great blog, Nate. All cleared up.
