There's nothing from a user experience currently that makes bluesky bad, it's just that since it doesn't seem to actually support decentralization, there's nothing to stop it from eventually getting just as bad as twitter over time due to profit incentive. Misskey/mastodin are the only microblogging platforms that are truly immune from corporate manipulation and enshittification, which would mean it's a long term solution (that while imperfect, can only get better).

May I ask why?

To someone politically literate, that much is clear as day.

For the average person, they are easily tricked by false promises that the right will do the opposite. :(

There's so many good options now: Eternity, Raccoon, Voyager, Jerboa, I'd give the competition a look and donate to the one you settle on.

I have no idea why or how it got so bad there specifically, but it's bad. Though oddly enough, in-between all the negativity, will be developers of major systems, like AMD driver engineers, calmly talking with other big movers in the industry.

I guess it's one of the few sites that is dedicated to reporting on such things, but boy howdy is it an odd mix of spiteful users and developer networking.

You may be overestimating how familiar they are with the specifics of IVF. It could be perceived as simply as "IVF means more babies, which is good, because I want babies. But abortion means less babies, which is bad."

If those people like that perception, they will resist or deny any further detail that would jeopardize those perceptions to remain willfully ignorant, especially if they have utilized IVF themselves. The cognitive dissonance would be too strong otherwise.

Quite glad to see Mint looking forward, good on them.

The Godot developers created a new business entity that will facilitate porting games to closed platforms.

Bernie Sanders is pretty spotless if you look at the history of his career. He's consistently stood up and voted for the little guy.
