I deleted my Twitter account, just too many bots and jerks for me. Threads is nice but still part of FB. Bluesky has some great blocking features and other users have created lists for trolls and MAGA's angry "winners". It does require more effort to follow, engage with comments, and to build a following because their algorithm isn't built to sell porn and push lies and division. Within search there are grouped feeds too, you can add them to your main page like another tab. There's ones for new users, cat photos, science, film, TV fandoms, lots of furries, quite a bit of hanging dong, and other fun stuff someone may be into. With the blocking, I've found a really engaging community that feels like Twitter 10-15 years ago. There has been an influx of users and activity since the election, if you're looking for a way to still feel connected, or if your an ex-twitter fiend like Me, it feels like a better alternative.

I tried to switch over to Bluesky, but not enough official accounts have been created there yet from the official accounts I rely on on Twitter. I am hopeful to complete the switchover at some point though.

I tried when it first came out and I left Twitter, but it was very weak then so I gave up on it quickly. I've heard it hasn't improved a whole lot since, but maybe now it will start to with a new round of Twitter exits.

What Donald Trump’s Win Means For Inflation — TIME

Economists say his proposals could drive up the costs of apparel, toys, appliances, and food

Everything Trump has promised on the campaign trail will only increase inflationary pressure. Thus, people who's largest concern was the economy and inflation are going to see inflation grow again.

I haven’t finished listening to it yet, but last week’s weekly show is a fascinating and convincing analysis of what exactly this election means and the harm the electorate may have done to itself. By rejecting the Biden administration, it seems we may have entrenched ourself in more neo-lib nonsense and a continuation of Reaganomics.

I joined about 15 months ago, but it never really clicked with me. I'm back on it and trying to find people to follow. It has definitely improved from what it was.

I joined threads and spoutible, but neither really do it for me. (and threads is Zuckerberg)
 
I don't know if there is any truth in this statement, but it's something that is going viral on Twitter today with more than 16 million views in the last 24 hours.

"I love how the woman who raised $1 billion, ended up $20 million in debt & can't pay her staff yet she was going to fix the economy".

But let me just say, how many times has Trump filed for Bankruptcy? I bet it's more times than Harris. I don't know about you, but I for sure as hell Trust Harris a lot more than Trump to balance a budget.

These “people” need to feel afraid again. They are way to comfortable in public.

This is what was most troublesome about Orange Supreme the first time around. All those racists feeling free to come out of the woodwork. As shown by your post, we were very much affected by that in Canada too. Considering it didn't temper much over the last 4 years, I can only imagine it getting worst now.
