Yep, well you sound like one, given your tone, intervening in minor discourse and obviously monitoring activity. But also demonstrating a low tolerance for dissent and quickly trying to shut down a differing opinion. All comes across as bossy, self-appointed moderator type behaviour which erodes trust, clearly discourages newcomers and stifles healthy debate. You could have just chosen to walk on by..... or engaged in a constructive debate...... But you chose to take on the role of tone police/moderator.....

Lets not pretend that you or your fellow leftists would not do the same thing if you were on Bluesky, and I or someone else was the so-called "newcomer".
>Maybe you've just demonstrated why this network is a firehose of bitcoin/scammy/christian/libertarian stuff? Everyone else has just taken the hint.
Why are you even here then? You've already demonstrated to me that you actively dislike the culture of the network.
Well. I'm not sure what a leftist is or does. I'm a small business owner. Most of my friends are too. Does that count? Probably not. Your presumptions seem either clouded or confused. As for Bluesky, my account there has been suspended, so that assumption is unfounded. But it goes someway to answer your last question. This network has potential but it's just seems to be an unwelcoming place to hang out right now especially if you can't freely express yourself.
