What I Like About BlueSky (And This Site)

I like how BlueSky generally doesn't have bullying and trolling behavior. It is a left-wing echo chamber, sure, but that is a good thing because forcing the left and right to coexist in many contexts does not usually lead to peaceful discussion and instead leads to them blocking each other out with some usually on the right getting aggressive and trolling those they don't like.

The symbolism associated with the political parties is somehow perfect.

I don’t see how red can be contained unfortunately. Living among their dominance is a nightmare.
