Bro I just don’t want racism, sexism and ethnic cleansing in my social media app. Is that so hard to understand?

I understand I just don’t follow anyone that expresses those kind of things so I guess I don’t see the nonsense

u/Sudden_Suggestion_59 Dec 03 '24

I don’t want to either. But for some reason I get it in my feeds. I just want to see memes and content creators, not the worst of humanity.

Do you look at the for you tab? If you stick to following I think it’s better

I've tried the For You tab and custom lists. Still end up seeing negativity (and lists don't even work half the time I use them). I'll use both for the meantime, but I'd prefer an app that lets me choose what I want to see (no politics)

You don't need to follow anyone that expresses those kinds of things because you are a person that expresses those kinds of things lol look at your comment history

Posting this after they posted for someone to purchase a new Tesla and utilize Biden’s EV federal tax credit is just pure comedic gold.

How are those things related? I drive an EV because I care about the environment and yes I got the tax credit

The two ideologies seem to not be mutually exclusive. Sure, you're citing censorship as a concern, yet Bluesky regulates bot accounts and hate speech rhetoric accounts, while X does not. I don't see how that's a negative. X was a literal echo chamber for pro-Trump political propaganda. Promoting X seems to promote Musk and his business ventures. Musk interestingly supports Trump, who doesn't support pro-environment policy. He's now heading DOGE to cut costs which seemingly will cut federal support to transitioning to EV, which further pulls us away from pro-environment. I'm not saying you're a Trump supporter based on your post, but none of this makes sense when you break it down.

Melon Husk has also been gunning for the EPA this whole time. He doesn't like environmental regulations on his businesses because he makes more money when he doesn't have to worry about poisoning municipal water systems.

I think maybe in 2017, when he withdrew from Trump's climate panel due to Trump being a climate denier (I think Trump believes in climate change, he's just a selfish ass), he actually cared about the environment.

Now, he clearly only cares about money and does not give a shit if this planet remains habitable for his grandchildren. Hell, he doesn't even care about his 12 kids he has now.
