I had a very different experience - I saw very few gloating comments, and those were vastly outweighed by comments saying we don't know, nobody deserves this, violence isn't the answer, political violence spirals.

About the worst I saw were, in essence, saying this is bad, but those who live by the sword, die by the sword, which is a biblical thing.

Why is Bluesky an echo chamber but X, Rumble, Gab, Gettr are not? I bet there's huge vile "damn leftists" commentary there, even though we don't know who shot Kirk or why. Why isn't that an echo chamber?

I have not even heard of some of those. So I am not saying that they aren’t echo chambers either. But given the reputation for civil discourse that blue sky has, I was surprised to see a lot of comments that were saying disgusting things in thinly coded ways.

Why is your experience better than mine? I didn't see those things.
I didn’t say it was?
