View submission: Sudden surge of people romanticizing pre-Musk Twitter on Reddit
Bluesky is a echo chamber because most of their users are leftists that like Twitter because it's great but they don't want to use it because:
A.- They don't like Musk.
B.- The influencers and mainstream figures they follow have told them Twitter is bad.
C.- They don't like to deal with people that don't think in the same way they do.
Bluesky is far more biased and it will mostly attract biased individuals. It saddens me a bit because I enjoy diversity of opinions, so I will miss those who are gone. But if they're happy there, good for them.

Most websites tend to skew progressive at first. Firstly, because creative types are usually the first to try a new platform and they tend to be left-leaning, and they will make the fun stuff that attracts everyone else. And secondly, because despite claiming to hate the left, the right-wingers love arguing and heckling and will follow leftists wherever they go. That's how you get a diverse user-base.
Any website that skews right from the start has no ability to attract normies or leftists and so just becomes more extreme and insular over time. A bunch of angry guys talking about how much they hate AOC is not going to draw the crowds. Just look at Voat or Truth Social or whatever that YouTube clone is called.
