Caltrops - Global Conflict Blue 2





	[quote name="Mysterio"]<a href="https://twitter.com/dril">Dril</a> is a rando Twitter comedian. He didn't completely break character to denounce bitchboy buying Twitter, but eventually got his ass over to BlueSky. The drama of the week is SCOLDS vs DRIL. "Scold" is a wonderful term to describe the shitfolk that infect every large social media site. Constantly angry, constantly condescending, a scold is some snotty little piece of garbage trying to tell you what to do because they have no other power in their own life. BlueSky is the first sight I've seen that uses the term and it's perfect. It describes half their users. Dril - on Twitter - encouraged everyone to get an extension that blocked the trash paying $8 a month for Twitter Blue. "Block the Blue" was the name of the extension. Some sex worker scold tried going "UM UM UM you're going to block SEX WORKERS too!"* When Dril was asked if he was ok with SEX WORKERS being blocked as well, in character he said "only the dumb ones." *You see, the argument is that sex workers are "forced" to pay for Twitter Blue so their posts show up. This is one of the stupidest single thoughts in Internet history, but that's the thought. Well, the problem is that Dril is a truthteller and can't be controlled. And of course, the scolds can't have that. Correctly identifying Dril as someone they have no power over, they are desperately creating a problem in their own diseased minds that Dril must naturally be anti-SEX WORKER!! Oh no!!! No! No!!!!! So you now have a situation where Dril is doing his thing and shit posting jokes on Bluesky, and you've got humorless trash trying to respond to him in their typically catty way to try to make it seem like they're PUNCHING NAZIS. There's enough people over there realizing that the anti-Dril contingent's entire position is made up in their own stupid, childish heads. As one guy eloquently puts it, "I'm not blocking Drill man, you guys gotta get real problems." The best part is that since BlueSky is invite-only, all this shrill, REEE nonsense can be directly tied to whoever the first few people were on the BlueSky team to invite people over. This is the only part that is in any way fascinating. This is the HELL THEY MADE. You have Neil Gaiman and Sulu showing up in the most-favorited feed who are posting reasonable and sometimes amusing stuff. You have 20 traps posting selfies and god bless them for it. But everyone else is thoroughly <i>unlikeable</i> in the featured feed. BlueSky is exactly the same as TruthSocial: largely a prison of people who are sick in their own minds. Free to leave at any time, they never will. [/quote]
