What Brown experienced is familiar to any former Twitter/X user gathering their bearings on the young and decidedly more earnest social network Bluesky: a distinct humor-detection issue. Some users are unable to decipher jokes, or they are deliberately trying to miss the point to make a different one. Many Bluesky users migrated over from X, where the top DOGE who did Nazi-like salutes on television is live-tweeting the destruction of American infrastructure. That’s a different and much more serious problem. Still, the seeming obliviousness-slash-self-seriousness of many Bluesky users is grating when you’re not used to it.
It’s a little funny how this somewhat echoes part of the experience people had trying to switch over to Mastodon sites.
Did it ever occur to these people that it’s the “Walgreens crap is $1 more expensive in one state over another” part that no one gave a shit about?
