Bluesky is the weirdest echo chamber of white liberal queer Americans, it feels like entering a museum or a theme park where everyone is the same, posts the same things, and agrees with each other to demonise the same things.
With Twitter being the cesspool of humanity—but with a ton of variety and opinions—I don't know which is worse, so I use neither.
That's a little unfair of a description. It comes down to who you're following, I guess. For example, something like 70% of Bluesky's content is in Portuguese.
Last I tried it, I wasn't following anyone so was sampling the public feed, and most posts were about identity politics or how bad Twitter is compared to BlueSky. An echo chamber, certainly you wouldn't find anything about Arstotzka nor Cobrastan on there right now.
Some kind of "brilliant" billionaire had put his clown shoe down and blocked Twitter's 5th largest, and conveniently predominantly Portuguese speaking population
Elon actually did everything to keep X online in Brazil, even to the point of recommending people to use VPN's after the authoritarian-seeming regime in the country forcibly blocked it, and going as far as to bully SpaceX which is an entirely separate company from X.
But of course someone will say "he blocked it" the same way they say he's actually on the side of Russia in the Ukro-Russian war even with his massive out-of-pocket Starlink donations to Ukraine. War is peace, truth doesn't matter to these people I guess.
How you think that the whole world would be fine just lying through their teeth just because some people don't like the guy for petty reasons, makes me think you really have little respect for the whole world, or little respect for being honest and truthful.
I don't care about your pots or kettles. Me and the guy are autistic enough to not really be capable of intentional lying. Which pretty much encompasses the term.
You lie all you want. It won't make you liked among good people. Like here, you just look like someone trying to win internet points from other dishonest people on the back of actual efforts toward freedom of speech. I don't even want to think how shit the world would be with the old Twitter still around, with their way of "steering" conversation (hard banning speak they don't like)

Is the supreme federal court's judge of the country with said population a billionaire? I had no idea.
(You wouldn't argue that Zuckerberg forced Facebook or Instagram to break Russian laws, or that Sundar Pichai forced Youtube to do the same, would you?)
X actually has both. But I've seen people call places "cesspools" even if one from a thousand members is considered "undesirable".
You probably should recalibrate your senses here, or you'll never find anything "balanced".
And just stating the obvious but your feed is built by the algorithm and the defaults which it shows have little weight after you find relevant people to you to follow
