Bluesky

I’ve talked before about how I feel like there are people who like to “paint the tape” of a comments section by leaving a handful of super-forceful comments in one particular direction, to paint the narrative they like to paint, if the comments section starts to develop in a way that they don’t like. Try sorting by “top” and compare it to the current comments section, if you want to get a better picture of what the consensus is.

Yeah, I think you're right. I poked my head into these threads to see what was up, mostly because I was confused as to why Obama showed up on BlueSky talking about ACA when there's other stuff going on (trying to understand what he's attempting), and for some reason this topic seems to have gotten the weirdos stirred up hard, mostly as you said with very confidently-worded assertions that appeared suspiciously quickly.

I wonder if it's because they're trying to capitalize on any old hot-button emotional spittakes left over from Obama's days as president. I mean, there's a lot of very important things going on with DOGE and it might serve certain interests well if we're distracted from THAT danger and instead talking about Obama who doesn't seem to be doing anything pertinent at the moment.
