"Just months after Bluesky saw its biggest surge of users in the wake of the 2024 election, engagement is down by half and shows no sign of stopping. Moreover, lefty, anti-Trump, billionaire business mogul Mark Cuban — once an enthusiastic and active user of the platform — thinks he knows why: the hateful, “toxic” rhetoric coming out of Bluesky on a daily basis.
Again, a shocker indeed.
“Engagement went from great convos on many topics, to agree with me or you are a nazi fascist,” Cuban wrote in a post earlier this month, according to Fortune. “We are forcing posts to X.”
“Even if you agree with 95 percent of what a person is saying on a topic, if there is one point that you might call out as being more of a grey area, they will call you a fascist etc.,” he added.
In another Bluesky post, Cuban shared how “[t]he lack of diversity of thought here is really hurting usage,” linking a Washington Post article on the topic by Megan McArdle."
