Site seems like it was hugged to death.

My initial take on this is that it's probably just another one of a thousand "let's self-sort ourselves by political bias".

BlueSky has a CP problem (enter "does BlueSky have a CP problem" into your favorite search engine). BlueSky also has a problem with moderation; the pile-ons are trying to eradicate opposing (read: non-leftist) points of view. Don't take my word for it; it's even been reported here. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42159454

Facebook is full of ads, but at least finally Meta (or at least Zuckerberg) decided to ditch the "fact checkers" which were just a thin veneer over "suppressing non-leftist points-of-view".

X seems fun to me now but I am nervous that Yaccarino is starting to deviate from Musk's free speech vision in order to appease advertising cartels.

Truth is a right wing echo chamber.

Gab is an anti-semitic cesspool.

Telegram is annoying as its subscription/follow model is spammy.

No experience with Parler.

So overall I'm happy with X. YMMV. Don't put yourself in an echo chamber.

I googled "does BlueSky have a CP problem" and I still have no idea what this means.

Ah. Well I don't think I want to be googling any more of that.
