It's disappointing because I've mostly been able to replicate my Twitter experience there. It's better actually, because more funny people moved and fewer journalists so it's less of a doomscroll.
Bluesky in particular has this problem because it inherited a kind of leftist crustpunk poster from 2016 Twitter. They had a weird affect where they hated "nerds" for some reason and pretended to be those jock bully characters from 80s high school movies.
The modern Bluesky form has evolved into being terrified of "AI" and screaming at anyone who uses it or has ever heard of it that it doesn't work and will never work but is also using up all the water and steals everyone's art and is going to make everyone unemployed and also you're a STEMlord who needs to take humanities classes to learn to be ethical.
They're currently working on inventing new slurs for AI chatbots which are mostly remarkably offensive.
That sounds awesome. Thanks for the tip. I'm gonna join this effort immediately.
- posting about saying it "with a hard R"
- posting TikToks of yourself yelling "dirty clanker" at delivery robots on the street
- posting TikToks of yourself saying it in a sketch where you're a waitress in the South in the 1950s
- replying to people with prosthetic robot arms calling them "half clankas"
Cause those are all real. It's the internet, you should assume anything bad you can imagine is real.

Note Peter Thiel (the source of literally everything this sort of person is upset about) is a philosophy major.
The other words are worse.
