I might be in a minority of one but here goes. I moved because morally I could not countenance supporting someone whose actions and views I so deeply disagree with. Elon Musk. I think we need people to make more moral judgements to direct their behaviour. When I see people saying "I don't want to morally judge" this or that I now cringe. Why not? To be polite? When I think of people who have helped me by making moral judgments about me and my actions I think blimey that hurt at the time but I am glad they said that, or did that, or shouted at me, or whatever because in the long run it has made me a better human. It has made me more empathetic. It has made me more intelligent. Moral judgement has become a dirty word(s). In this world we need more moral judgement not less. All of which is a long winded way of saying Adam Kucharski thank you for moving to Bluesky.
Substack(s) has become my only social media platform... johnny come lately haha
Bye-the-bye I don't care to be referred to as "Johnny". Never had Twitter & will never join "x" by the way why is it still referenced "formerly Twitter" 🤔
Thank you for adding to my understanding of a range of topics JJF 🇨🇦 also qualify as a senior citizen and an unabashed life long learner 🤗
Problem with Substack: While it might not be so obvious as on X, Substack promotes Antivaxxers and Nazi accounts. No, I don't mean decent people on the right, but real Nazis, white supremacists, openly racist accounts. It's obvious when you search e.g. "vaccine" or "climate", and the CEOs admitted it frankly.
It might not be their political agenda, but it's their business model.
Is this more or less the path of all centralised platforms?
Stay active as well in Mastodon, please, where we're 4.6k people following you at https://med-mastodon.com/@adamjkucharski . There's a part of the community that has realised that the only social media place to be is the one mostly aligned with their values, and a non-commercial site as Mastodon is a good candidate (caveat: also with improvements needed). Bluesky might avoid some of the problems of Twitter, but it has other structural ones, such as the risk that the owner will do as he pleases. I, for one, have found my place, and I'm not going anywhere else, and I do hope you'll share your work there too.
Unfortunately it’s not feasible for me to post actively on multiple platforms, but will have a look into bridges so people on Mastodon can stay updated.
