There will never be such a place because creating it would require attention to more than just the technology of the platform, it would also require sensitivity to how moderation as a social practice shapes the environment, and an awareness of a history of how the affordances shape that environment.

Anyway, to circle back around to the main point. BlueSky might be uniquely shitty in some ways, but so is EVERY OTHER FUCKING PLATFORM. The unique ways in which platforms are shitty are grounded in the organization of the digital environment, including social practices of moderation.

I should also point out that George Washington could very well have been 'King' had he chose to be. But, he did not. He wanted to create a new government which was not a monarchy or successive monarchies. He wanted an educated country of people who could select their own leaders (as did his peers).

It's so important to fund Wild Hornets FPV drones for the elite 77th Airmobile Brigadeπ
Because these heroes helped liberate Kupiansk in a brilliant operation against larger ruzzian forces, inflicting catastrophic enemy lossesπ₯
$10 a ticket, and the prizes are amazing, and show real appreciation.

βοΈPutin is the main winner of the war in Iran, β Politico
The Russian dictator faced a difficult choice: either restrain his own war effort or risk his economy.
However, in one night, Trump gave him a solution β the strikes on Iran led to a sharp rise in oil prices.
Thanks, orange ogre.

Viktor Orban Is Going Down Swinging
Hungaryβs populist prime minister is in a fight for his political lifeβand acting like it.
Hungary would hardly seem a major theatre for battle for MAGA. But if Orban turns around a big poll deficit and win - again - it would be a huge boost for Trump, and his plan to paralyse the EU. That's why they're doing all they can to help. My report from Budapest

Look at the United States right now.
A few billionaires and oligarchs have essentially bought the government and rule the country.
Europe needs to be incredibly careful not to go down that same path.
We must protect our institutions from extreme wealth and corporate capture
