Remember Bluesky?
... no?
Soon, nobody will.
Bluesky was the social media platform that leftists migrated to in order to escape the right-wing hate that had taken over X after Elon Musk purchased the platform and opened it up to be more free-speech centric.
Leftists really didn't like having inconvenient truths shoved in their faces, nor did they appreciate having to actually debate people on level ground. With the Democrat-obeying Twitter execs out and Musk and his team in, the left had lost their advantage and instead of just fighting fair, decided to abandon ship and not fight at all.
Immediately, the problems began popping up left and right. Leftists began over-reporting to the site's safety group, with 3,000 reports appearing per hour; moreover, they began blocking each other for the slightest infraction. Those who did post facts on Bluesky, such as "there are only two genders," quickly found themselves banned within 30 seconds.
Then, there was the radicalism problem that became so bad that even pedophiles were announcing themselves in the open, so much so that Bluesky had to put a real focus on squashing it.
As I wrote at the time, Bluesky was likely doomed to fail just like other leftist social media platforms did because it's devolving into an echo chamber very quickly:
One has to wonder how long it will be before we start hearing complaints of overt censorship on Bluesky. My feeling is that it won't take long, and we'll probably start seeing some of the people who defiantly and loudly left X start trickling back in.
That was last November.
Fast-forward to June in the year of our Lord, 2025, and my prediction is coming true. As you can see, thanks to info from Anthony LaMesa, Bluesky is dying as its users are bleeding off at a rate that isn't sustainable.
The website is losing steam by every metric.

As The Spectator noted, this is disastrous because the last remaining users will be the most tedious and bored, causing the place to become even more toxic than it already is:
This kind of decay is disastrous for a social medium – because it is self-fulfilling. As the site shrinks down to a hardcore of tedious, earnest people, so these people will turn viciously on each other, out of sheer boredom – lacking anyone else to spar with (ironically, Bluesky is now much nastier than Twitter). In this way the site becomes even less appealing.
The end of all this is what we witness today: a kind of morbid silence. You can spend a day among the tombs of Bluesky and the only sign of life is a feeble joke in the afternoon. Maybe a meme falls, silently and unnoticed, like a snowflake on a gravestone.
I'm no Nostradamus. It wasn't hard to see Bluesky's fall from a mile off. Not only were there other examples, but leftists also like free speech. When it was Twitter, they had that; they just had to share that privilege now, and that's not what they wanted. When they went to Bluesky, they thought they'd continue on like they did before, with all their echo-chamber goodness and back-patting circles.
But without the lightning rod of conservatives to send reports on, they only had each other to eat. Soon, they experienced censorship at the hands of each other, and they left Bluesky, only to come back to X.
This is an interesting turn of events because it tells us a few things.
Leftists don't hate conservatives... they just hate. Conservatives are just easy targets. Without us, they'll just hate each other. Moreover, their ideological rigidity makes them dull both in intelligence and personality-wise. No one's having fun because the left's penchant for severity doesn't allow for too much levity. If you dissect a lot of the left's commentary about comedy, you'll find they boil a lot of it down to hate speech.
Despite all the flash and pizazz, the Hollywood glitz and glamour, the screaming and the burning, and the over-dramatics... leftists are very boring, tedious people.
And no one wants to waste their time in a room full of people like that.
Even if the website never truly dies... it's dead.
