Imagine if there was a place where you could safely seal away such dangerously Left-wing figureheads as Chris Packham, Stephen Fry, Carol Vorderman, Alastair Campbell and Jess Phillips forever. Some may say there already is, and it is called Hell. Others may say there already is and it is called Bluesky, the Twitter/X rival microblogging site which temporarily boomed in popularity following the Elon Musk-aided election of Donald Trump in November last year. Not wanting to add to Elon’s profits, and desiring to escape the alleged ‘toxicity’ he’d unleashed onto the platform by allowing woke-dissenting viewpoints to be expressed more freely, Left-wing users like those listed above joined a so-called ‘X-odus’ towards its new, kinder and more progressive, rival instead.
Even the Guardian announced it was leaving X for Bluesky for good in November last year, offering the following rationale: “This is something we have been considering for a while given the often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform, including far-Right conspiracy theories and racism. The US presidential election campaign served only to underline what we have considered for a long time: that X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse.”
