I’m torn here. I would personally use whatever was fun and interesting. Threads was immediately political and I assume bluesky is too.

It’s just a lot. Twitter will be awful. Bluesky will be a little over the top. I don’t know what’s happening in threads these days…

People want to yell into the void and don’t want to think about more than 140 characters… and there really isn’t a place for just easy going goofy fun

Life is political. Believing that it’s not only means that someone who is also pretending that life is not political will make the rules.

You only need to look at the 2024 US presidential election to see how many people disagree with that point.

Out of 245 million eligible voters, only 65% voted.

For many people politics is an abstract concept in a faraway place.

Abstaining is a political decision too.
