I genuinely have no idea what you’re implying lol

I feel like you guys are addicted to letting perfect be the enemy of good. Yes, Bluesky being corporate run will probably be an issue down the line, but if it becomes mainstream then people will be used to seeing .APP.INSTANCE and feel more comfortable with the fediverse interface, which I know at least for me was a big hurdle. Like seriously, the fact that the next big thing is federated, even if in name only, is a big step forward.

I’m prone to thinking like that too, but what keeps me from staying that way is the knowledge that that’s exactly what the fascists want. So fuck em, it may be illogical but they can pry my belief that we can build a better world from my cold dead hands.

Okay, as someone who’s never set foot in New York City, is it really that difficult for them to elect a mayor who’s not a giant hunk of fuck?

I’m pretty sure it’s for the same reason that people love them, i.e. they’re cheesy and self-indulgent - which, I mean, are pretty much prerequisites of the power metal genre.
