Except in the old Twitter if someone made a good point to counter the Woke 
crap, they would be more than likely be canceled or "de-platformed" or 
whatever the term is. Now that the Woke cultists can't automatically have 
the last word on TwitterX, their miffed. So now they're going to BlueSky 
which they hope will become a new "old" Twitter. Unfortunately for them, it 
will become a completely boring echo chamber with about 100% preaching to 
the choir (as you say). So yes, it's probably destined to nosedive into 
oblivion, kind of like CNN and MSNBC.
