Bluesky was right all along and will accept your apology any time - Fast Company

"Many savvy pundits on X framed ... Bluesky as a “copium” den for progressives in a bubble. Boy, were they wrong".

After the blue wave of November 2026, Bluesky's "inhabitants don’t seem to be echoing themselves so much as the vast majority of American voters... a Texas-sized validation of the worldview Bluesky has become notorious for over the past two years."

This, after years of seeing Bluesky users "alleging Elon Musk’s algorithm tweaks have skewed X’s political vortex too far to the right, and X suggesting Bluesky is a bubble of liberals who can tolerate anything except a difference in opinion... as smug, self-righteous, and irrelevant... the fantasy sandbox where progressives went to play among themselves, protecting reality dwellers from having to hear their drivel."

The midterms results suggest it's X users who seem out of touch with the vast majority of Americans:

• while "Bluesky proved to be less a bubble than an expression of the multitude of ideological factions that had united under the umbrella of non-MAGAness . . . to argue with one another",
• X's algorithm reinforced "right-wing voices and their preferred narratives. A bubble chart ... [of]accounts with highest engagement rates ... many MAGA-red circles made it look like the blood-filled elevator from The Shining.--

Bluesky now appears better attuned to what’s been happening on the ground"
