No worries friend, many of these signups are us on the right going to troll. We don’t plan to support it for long.
What?

Both extremes on the left and right have their own 'extremely dishonest grifters' and that issue is not exclusive to Twitter / X.
Nope. The Left simply does not have anywhere near the same number of grifters as the right. There simply is no equivalent of Alex Jones on the left.

False dichotomy doesn’t bring anything to the conversation. However it it true that the far left is the main motivated to quit X, and the progressive views Silicon Valley were also dominant on HN. Just something to accept and think about. Do not blame the messenger.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

The far-right thinks the far-left is dishonest and vice versa. They're both correct. It's all so tiresome.
Nope. What is tiresome is constantly seeing how much the right lies and then lies about how much they lie. Trump told over 30,000 lies while President the FIRST time and still got re-elected.

It has an "Impersonation" tag: "Pretending to be someone else without permission." Dunno if that's accurate though. But let's be real: Jordan B. Peterson on Bluesky is not going to be a different Jordan B. Peterson than he is anywhere else. If you don't want to interact with Jordan B. Peterson on e.g. Twitter, then you probably don't want to interact with him on Bluesky either.
To an extent, I agree. In particular, I will not seek out that guy. However, feels virtue signal like to block someone that isn't there. Might as well block "random jerk." What is the value of blocking people by name that may not exist?
He likely just appears on a lot of imported Twitter blocklists.

#226It doesn’t matter much how many users Bluesky is gaining, it matters how many of them will be using Bluesky in a few months. We will see.

#227The infrastructure has been rock-solid. I’ve never seen a service grow this fast without any noticeable outages. The architecture and execution are obviously informed by serious experience at Twitter, but it’s also clear that management is giving them everything they need to do the job right.
The performance is really good. Searches and general navigation.

I've had quite an opposite experience. I wanted to give it a chance, but the loading times for almost any kind of navigation were too long, so I automatically stopped visiting.

Ah. That is a fair point.

#230So odd that a pseudo-decentralized centralized company gets so much attention when Nostr is actually decentralized but never gets mentioned.
While Nostr is well designed, it’s unfortunately closely tied with the cryptocurrency community.
