The Latest Bluesky Meltdown is Pretty Entertaining

Whenever I see Bluesky gathering attention on X it's usually because they've ganged up against another conservative and done their best to drive them off the platform. But the really fun stuff happens when the woke liberals at Bluesky turn on other woke liberals at Bluesky and create a circular firing squad. And that's what has been happening there lately.
Yesterday, it dawned on one outspoken liberal, David Roberts, that maybe the whole concept of Bluesky wasn't working out so well for the left.
Can you guess what happened next? The Free Beacon describes the reaction.
Bluesky users were shocked that such a revered member of the annoying left-wing pundit class would criticize their place of worship. Doing what comes naturally, they responded by shouting at Roberts while everyone else ignored them. He was forced to write a 10-post follow-up explaining that his criticism should not be considered an endorsement of X, the far more popular, immigrant-owned Bluesky competitor, which he described as a "toxic" "Nazi" haven that is turning mainstream journalists into right-wing activists.
Fortunately, Benjamin Ryan dragged some of those posts onto X so you can see them.
