I think it’s time to step away for a bit.
The way the discourse around the Bluesky bridge played out this week was… profoundly disappointing. Watching people with no interest in having a rational discussion making bad faith arguments and engaging in some disgusting ad hominem attacks has left a very bad taste in my mouth. What made it worse was the incredible hypocrisy of it all; you can’t engage in mob behavior like that and still play the victim card.
The more I think about it, the more I think Mark Pilgrim was on to something.
