Trump Derangement Syndrome - Orange man bad. Read the OP! (ᴛʜɪs ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴅ ɪs ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴋɪᴡɪ ғᴀʀᴍs ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡs ɴᴏᴡ) 🗿🗿🗿🗿

Just got this from reddit, it's a shitty quality screencap but apparently Bluesky is still not enough of a heavily censored leftist echo chamber for their liking. It's breaking down from all the reports. Also has a CP problem.

Maybe not the place to talk indepth about bsky but since it's become the darling child of leftists I note that they essentially have no plan. They started as an alternative to twitter after Dorsey got the boot and don't seem to have any endgame except be twitter except even more leftwing and with an increased character limit. The only thing of note that they're doing is development of the AT protocol, which is a pretty brazen attempt to destroy the Fediverse so that they can herd everyone until their cancerous walled garden.

When the investor money runs out and they start getting AI scraping and ads I hope the bsky refugees cry at their complete inability to not rely on centralized web platforms run by tech sociopaths like Jack Dorsey.
 
Ironic that a group called "Restoring Sanity" is full of more crazies than most other lefty groups.

I don't really care to get into it, but Twitter's back end is massive. They are big enough they buy their own custom networking silicon and they have to. And despite all this, it still goes down from time to time.

ButtSky is just running off cloud instances, they couldn't even hope to scale to twitter levels. This is the real reason for their gay invite system is to try to limit user growth so they don't tank their systems.

Basically the only people who could realistically hope to take down twitter are are companies who have the global infrastructure to step up: Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple maybe.

Mastadon works because its a bunch of small instances and the traffic between them is mostly just authentication/authorization, and if one node shits the bed it doesn't affect the rest. You try to scale that up and "Fedverse" cracks apart.


But, Hillary Clinton was NEVER President.
Naw she was running the show from about 94 to 97ish. Right as impeachment hit. Bill was too busy selling out to the Chicoms and fucking chubby interns to run the country.

That's what bugs me about Doctorow's "enshitification" theory. The whole thing rests on the idea that scaling up is purely linear and that there's no adjustment in costs as one does so. Which is... just not true and why the whole thing starts to fall apart with any reflection or experience in the industry.

Wasn't his """"sexual abuse"""" charge literally just the retarded bitch accusing him feeling like his comments DURING THE TRIAL were sexual thus he was guilty even though the actual accusation she levied against him fell through?
No idea. I didn't hear much from it.

The invite system and the lack of images and gifs for like two years singlehandedly killed any interest that normies could've had in bsky. They launched a Twitter competitor without having one of Twitter's most quintessential features and stonewalled interested parties with an invite system that meant any potential users were turned away unless they knew someone.

Now that they've actually got twitter's feature set and opened up, it's far too late because it's now got an unshakable reputation as a leftist hellhole. If we've learned anything from Gab and Parler, it's that political extremism turns away normies and you're locked into catering to a small group of lunatics who push and push your platform until you finally break and they immediately flee back to Twitter anyways.

bsky also has Mike Masnick on the board, who is absolutely deserving of his own lolcow thread for how much he carries water for the censorship movement while claiming to be a warrior for free speech on the internet.

What's the long and short on Masnick's retardation? I've heard the name but never dug into the guy.

He's spent the better part of two decades writing articles about online content moderation and the importance of Section 230. His articles are okay on the surface but he caught TDS in 2016 and basically never stopped shit talking about Trump. Of more interest is the fact that, almost every day since 2022, he's written screed after screed against Twitter concering the Musk buyout and Musk himself. He's very much a "if my side has control then it's free speech but if they have control it's censorship" kind of person.

He also has other writers on his website do articles occasionally and they're all kind of shit. Tim Cushing in particular is purported to write about law and order but really just writes embarassingly long poorly researched meltdowns about how much he hates cops. Also prone to get into spats with commenters and make comments like this:

Lastly, Masnick's/Techdirt's comments section is full of the biggest TDS-afflicted losers ever. Probably the most perpetually miserable band of motherfuckers on the planet. When they're not getting trolled by low effort anon comments they're blindly parroting whatever the liberal TV talking point of the week is. Masnick has cultivated one of the most hilariously awful communities on the internet and the only reason nobody has noticed is because nobody reads his blog.

EDIt: Just remembered a random anecdote; He also has some faggot journo named Michael McGrady come in to write articles on the "online porn business", mostly about how evil republicans are for trying to do something about children having basically unfettered easy access to porn. He writes for AVN.com so basically they have a guy who has a vested financial interest in the porn industry's continued survival trying to convince you that there's nothing wrong with children watching hardcore porn.

I mean it IS A leftist hellhole. Lefties, trannies, e-whores and e-whore trannies.
My point is that it had the chance to be something more than that, but they bought into it wholesale and are now reaping the retardation. I will enjoy them eating each other.

I do wonder if Trump is gonna be our Reagan/Thatcher. That one politician that gay communists never got over and still bitch about 40+ years later even after the entire world has moved on.

Nixon... Reagan... They'll bitch about him endlessly until the next Republican comes along to run for president.

Then we'll just make the "Vance Derangement Syndrome" thread and continue the lulz.

Mike Masnick and Tim Cushing are some of the most vapid gormless poltroons I have ever had the displeasure of reading. Their articles read like Vox and are about the same (lack of) quality and truth. In the end their anger and incessant whinging led me to censoring them from my Techdirt RSS feed altogether. There’s a couple authors that still write about how “important” it is that children be forcibly shown hardcore fetish porn to propagate the LGBTQIAP+ population, but skipping the article and making anon comments always makes it better.

Gab had all the censorship THEY faced and tried to warn everyone about going for them, but yeah, that's about it. Parler on the other hand, I had a feeling since the beginning it was just gonna be a silly little echo chamber with none of the actual influencers like Trump on it. Last I was on it, Trump wasn't even on there and they fired a guy from their leadership who wanted to essentially backstab Parler and their users by running it off of the Bezos kingdom's servers (Amazon to be specific).

Since then, almost no one that I've seen ever talks about Gab or Parler. Parler even less so.

Only one who even did it right? Trump because he was the one to start Truth Social. Because of it I still see a lot of posts, including Trump's, from Truth Social pop up on X and honestly Truth Social spawned the energy we needed to get Elon to buy Twitter.

I specifically remember one time when Cushing wrote yet another anti-cop whinging meltdown about how cops in some state somewhere (I think it was Florida) were sending cops to the houses of Democrat pollsters to intimidate them.

His sole source for this was a MSM news article that cited a screenshot of one guy's Facebook post where he claimed with no evidence that a cop had shown up to his house. I pointed this out in an anon comment and promptly got shit on by a bunch of retards insulting me. Masnick and co. write about how much they hate modern journalism but they truly are no better than the chaff.
 
I find it quite hilarious that the people who screech at Trump being a "Threat to democracy" and will "destroy the constitution" are the same politicians who:

> Illegally got us into over 9000 wars
> Shat on unlawful searches and seizures
> Repeatedly shit on gun rights
> Cucked to massive corporations and billionaires
> Repeatedly attempt to silence people

It seems as though the people who are truly guilty are the ones who project the most onto other people.
