It's their fave meme format: an image with text in a very large font. That shade of blue is used in the UnitedHealthcare logo.

How is libsky taking the news since you hang out there a lot, libbing it up?

Pre-election - I paid close attention to the Bluesky zeitgeist. But post-election I've been making an aggressive efforts to avoid that. The election was a sea change and I don't want to hear libs whining, whinging, and rending their garments about Trump. Within a couple weeks after the election I had had more than enough. I've started blocking a huge number of accounts. To begin with I went to a site with the top 500 top accounts and I must have blocked at least 80% of them. My god, it was lib city. In my small Bluesky world - I've seen hardly any popular pro-CEO posts. An exception is this post by the insufferable editor-in-chief of Mother Jones...

We can all hate insurance companies without cheering the murder of someone or worse, trying to monetize content about that murder. Really gross day on the internet today.

But it only got 2K likes and top replies in the thread are people shitting on her. I joined in and shat on her too so she blocked me. I wonder how many people she blocked due to that thread. Also - of course - if Mother Jones, the person, was still alive - she would have shat on her too.

AOC knocked George Takei off his #1 throne. She now has 1.1M followers and is the top account at the site - other than the site's own account.

oof that all sounds painful

I wish there was a list of the top 5,000. I would just keep going and blocking. I want to see more from small accounts and more leftists too if possible. At Bluesky the cream does not rise to the top. It floats to the bottom. That's a sour mixed metaphor but it's very true.
