Hunter Walker: It is true that Blue Sky skews left right now. I would prefer it to have more diversity of opinions but I would sincerely hope those thoughts are more interesting than, "I don't like being disagreed with."

The “diversity of opinions” you’re looking for are still on twitter, we like to actually enjoy our time here without being targeted by fascists

in that post he is criticizing the right wings use of diversity of opinions, not agreeing with it

How in the absolute fuck can you be living in the Nazi-riddled gay bashing child labor promoting book banning 2023 and be concerned we’re not giving proper service to “diversity of opinions”? Read the goddam room.

“You let one polite well-dressed Nazi in and next thing you know it’s a Nazi bar” rules apply. We learned our lesson.

My rule is Bluesky is for pets and need stuff and kindness and consideration and chill vibes for everybody but the mindless both-sidsing centrists who got us here. They get the stick.

"Let's just hear them out" sounds super reasonable and intellectually mature until you see the wreckage and suffering these people are leaving in their wake. I don't need to hear their opinion. I know the results they want. And it's more wreckage and suffering.

Pretending you're quoting someone when you're not is pretty shady.

He’s obviously paraphrasing and reasonably so. You fucked up, got one of the first ratios on a new service, and deservedly so. Buy a saddle and start fresh tomorrow.

Not my intention. And forgive the not journalistically accurate use of quotation marks. I do understand the impulse to want diverse opinions and I think it's an honorable one at heart, but one side is playing a game of full frontal propaganda that destroys any discourse.

if I wanted to hear all the reasons people deserve to live and die in squalor and tenuity to maintain steadily growing returns for a small cadre of capitalists I’d go literally anywhere else where thats the entire dominant narrative

ive heard all the diverse opinions and don’t need to hear them again, ive already done that

which opinions would you like to see more of, specifically?

haha thank you I was too lazy to search for this

i was too lazy to put text on it so

ok fine

🤝

Oh, you know the ones

I disagree.

But it ain’t staying this way. Enjoy it while it lasts.

With all due respect, shut the fuck up and go back to Muskville if you want “debate”

Skews left…just like reality!

hey hunter why don't you fluff my god damn hog

Does HW have some sort of history of bad faith or evildoing?

Not that I know of but this sort of sentiment needs to be dealt with swiftly if we hope to prevent contagion

yeah they seem more obnoxious than anything and fluffing my hog seemed like an acceptably rude thing to say in response. anyone arguing for centrist "we gotta have some DEBATE with conservatives" is at any times only a half step away from just voting republican

I think no, based on his reporting background and our mutual follows, but you never know I guess.

sorry your bigot friends aren’t on here 🤡

diversity of opinions is like what flavor of ice cream do you like or who do main in street fighter, not whether trans people should have rights so I'm glad I could clear that up for you

You see, I already know that the right wants to annihilate people that I love, and I really don't need to hear their opinion about that.

You’re the sort of person who’d drown himself just because one person said people need air above water to breathe and another said no people breathe water at the bottom of the sea and you felt the only reasonable place to put yourself was somewhere in the middle.

Lol

You guys are really doing your best to make this place as annoying as every other social media site

what's the diversity of opinion you're looking for? name it

Opinions that need diversity: flavours, music, movies, art. Things that aren't opinions and don't need "diversity": the existence of marginalised, human rights, racism, fascism.

This ^^^^^ 100%

Hate isn’t an opinion. And in a just world it would get no air time at all. If you want to “disagree” with ppl being allowed to live their lives safely. Go back to the hate site you ppl created.

I don't need to hear what the right thinks, we all know what they think they've been banging the same damn drum in this country since massive resistance

"I want to hear some nazi opinions, actually." - you

Personally I'm enjoying the lack of slurs but that's just me

Not once have I been called a groomer here. That's a win in my book.

So I want to presume goodwill here, but I think it's necessary to acknowledge that "conservative" right now is inextricably bound up with intense cruelty, and inviting that in as if doing so is a virtue is both exhausting and intellectually lazy.
