Haha even after that you didn’t check the article? The premise is that the claims that men don’t read fiction are greatly exaggerated!

So you stopped before it got to the premise?

I just read this semi-autobiographical Jo Walton novel called Among Others that was written as a love letter to finding books through other books - you get the title of every book the sci-fi obsessed main character reads over the course of like 1979-1980.

Terminal means fatal, hopefully that’s not a certainty yet.

I know that’s what drives me crazy too. As opposed to a lot of harmful conservative policies that are clearly motivated by a desire to look out for the interests of the wealthy or pander to xenophobes, the anti-vaxx stuff is just pure contagious madness.

We won’t find out if this changed anything until Rupert is dead.

There’s a big difference between meeting the criteria for being a war criminal and having an arrest warrant issued by the ICC.

The thing that’s tougher to shrug off is that he now has a rotating list of countries where depending on who’s in power he cannot visit without being arrested.

What billionaire?

Tell you what I’ll block you and you’ll never have to see my share of it again

Yeah I think that’s exactly it

I think there’s a lot of overlap between people interested in a reddit alternative and a twitter alternative. Or maybe as that guy below says it’s just that I’m personally posting about it a lot.

Yeah too bad they didn’t get into it earlier, but it has hit a critical mass of users and attention lately.

The reason people post on these sites is to make themselves heard I guess. You just have to ignore or block your way into the level of interaction you’re comfortable with.

Russian fascist owned? What are you talking about?

These parts:

Bluesky can fuck right off as well. I tried it to see if it was any different than Twitter but I had to nope out after 10 minutes.

I’ve never understood the whole Twitter formula anyways. Scroll through endless ramblings of people I don’t care about? No thanks.

There are far better places to stay informed about certain topics or get in touch with people you know.

Yeah X is a big downgrade

Sure the billionaire buying stuff thing happens, but a Nazi billionaire?

To be fair Musk buying twitter and turning it into a Nazi propaganda site was kind of flukey.

Interesting. As with any problematic group that makes the transition it’s a bit annoying to have to deal with them on the new platform, but they shouldn’t be banned and them moving is a great sign that bluesky has the juice.
