The Babylon Bee's Foray Into Bluesky Gets Started off on Hilariously Predictable Note UPDATED

Sister Toldjah

"But conservatives moved to those platforms because Twitter was censoring them, and they wanted free speech. These leftists are migrating to Bluesky because they're tired of all that free speech exposing them to ideas they don't like."

"It never fails. After leftists lose big either at the ballot box, on Twitter/X, or via a court ruling, among the first things some of them announce in rather dramatic fashion is that they are headed for what they assume are greener pastures at another social media platform.

"We've seen them venture off to MastodonThreads, and now the Next Big Thing: Bluesky, where media figures and woketivists alike have fled.

"As my colleague Brandon Morse has documented, however, their migration to Bluesky has not gone very well so far, with snowflake users there reportedly sending "over 42,000 reports for harmful content in 24 hours, coming out to 3,000 reports an hour." 

"Further, as Brandon observed, users are "so intent on making sure their little bubbles stay intact that they're mass-blocking people without warning, and oftentimes without double-checking who they're blocking first."


So while it should come as no surprise to anyone, it's nevertheless hilarious to see how The Babylon Bee's adventure to Bluesky has gone so far.

UPDATE: Leftists Leave X For Bluesky Only To Overwhelm Site With Mass Censorship Demands    

"Bluesky was built on an "invite only" system up until February of this year.  The rush of woke actors, journalists and activists to the platform after the election has certainly garnered a lot of media attention for the site.  Progressive celebrities and pundits such as actress Jamie Lee Curtis, "journalist" Don Lemon, "journalist" Joy Reid, writer Stephen King and The Guardian’s official news account, have all decided to switch to Bluesky. 

"Don Lemon accused X of no longer serving the purposes of "transparency and honest debate", a hilarious notion when one considers the incredible level of censorship enacted under the old regime.  What leftists are actually angry about is the fact that conservatives are suddenly free to contradict progressive claims without fear of account bans, the doxing of their homes and workplaces, and cancel culture in general." . . .
