    When a Maga billionaire buys a large social media platform… that will cause the divide. And it is.

      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.

        What’s worrying is social media being politicised. There was a time when it was not, and it was hell of a lot better than what we have now.

        I’m not on Bluesky because it aligns with my political views. I’m there because I do not have to look at, or engage in politics. I can speak about my interests. Really quite lovely.

          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.

        Why do people have to listen to toxicity they don’t like in their social media entertainment platform? I don’t want to hear it all the time in real life.

          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.
