I’m not saying you do. I don’t use Twitter anymore. What I was trying to say is that I find the state of the world worrying.

I looked a Bluesky but I noticed a lot of MAGA people trolling in the comments. Maybe they can be hidden with account settings probably but I haven’t looked into that.

Sure. Maybe it’s worrying though that social media is splitting on ideological lines. This didn’t really used to be the case. Twitter was intended for everybody, so was Facebook, etc.

Maybe the divisions in western societies are becoming sharper and more bitter. That’s probably not a good thing.

Someone could create an instance if they wanted right? The code is on GitHub

Maybe there’s more to it though, I dunno.

People thought the first Trump presidency was a politically divided time, but maybe we’re now entering an even more divided time, given that social media is now fragmenting along political lines, more prominently than it did before.

Someone said to me once “if you really wanted to do X, you would have done it”.

Your post reminded me of that, because many people might really want to be rich, but they don’t become rich because it’s a difficult thing to achieve. So maybe wanting something isn’t enough. Maybe you need luck or other advantages on your side too.

And there’s the soldered RAM and storage, and glued-in or screwed-in battery…
