alt Hacker NewsI left a link to the exact post I'm referring to with the whole thread available for context.
And I didn't include the whole thing, because it doesn't change my point which is that IMO BSky people are insufferable. A game is released (which in part includes their work if I understand it right) and they can't help themselves and make this about Trump.
I'm sure I'd have the same opinion if I saw what's happening in Truth Social. These echo chambers are not good.

I think when politics are normal, this is a fine position…. Don’t really care if the author is no new taxes vs expanding safety net.
But, politics have become much more extreme. Imagine your wife or friends parents being deported. It’s absolutely sensical to not support people that are loud about hurting your loved ones.
I think you're projecting your own biases here.
They "can't help" make the conversation about Trump because they have a public image to maintain.
If your image and following are on BSky, then it's not an echo chamber to address the crowd in kind with its nature. That's just good branding.
>because it doesn't change my point which is that IMO BSky people are insufferable.
Yes, but we're here to talk about Jonathan Blow and his new game.
You can argue his politics are relevant. Your opinion on Bluesky, not so much.
