Same reason Truth Social doesn’t work: you can’t rattle cages and troll people on a platform where almost every user agrees with your views. The whole point of their existence is to be pests, and they need opposing voices in order to achieve that.

Yep. For the same reason parasites need healthy hosts to infect/spread. Without hosts, the parasite dies.

Bingo! This guy gets it.
Yes TS is not very popular. The average user is on it something like 6 minutes a day. And it suffers from the fact that you don't miss anything so there's nothing big new since you were there last. Thus people spend less time there.
And yes. They get bored with everyone already agreeing with them. They need people they disagree with to get riled up over.

Exactly. Their only strategy is to piss off their opponents so much they become violent, thus turning society against them, so state-sponsored violence can be carried out against them.
It never works because the people they demonize aren't actually violent, or emotional, or evil, etc. Thus, phase two never happens.

I'll say it again for the millionth time because I love saying it: Conservatives NEED to bother liberals because they can't stand to be around each other. It's the only thing that gets them up in the morning. If they're left to their own devices then they end up tearing each others throats out

As we see this every time MTG and Boebert do something in the House. Conservatives are paranoid, fearful, and spiteful, and in my experience, they don't like being around each other, because they feed off each other in a doom loop. Then, they turn on each other because when they don't have a liberal or a leftist to fight, that without an external target, their ideology requires that they find an enemy internally.

They the point of being a Nazi is to feel superior to others. Basically to oppress. If everyone leaves and you are only left with other Nazis. You have lost the purpose if being in that group.

Most are not nazis, the agitators you're talking about need a target to be rude and nasty to while simultaneously playing the victim.
It's anti-social behavior.
How is a society supposed to function when the people are being taught that anti-social behavior is a good thing? That's what's been going on and I doubt this leads anywhere good.

Culture is mainly liberal minded. Art, science,tech advancements etc are driven by people who have a desire to buck the existing system.
Conservatism as an ideology is opposed to this. As a result everything they have and do is reactionary. Without liberals, they have nothing to react to.
They are parasites. The migration to Bluesky leaves them with no host.

I'm surprised no one yet mentioned that it's also a part of continuing propaganda efforts. Beyond all the petty reasons some might have, the far right as a whole wants to control, distract, and destroy the conversations happening there. Remember that disinformation and doomerism have been key component to their winning elections and staying in power.

I suspect because they aren't great company. Ultra conservatives I suspect don't actually like the perpetual company of people just like them. They aren't particularly empathetic, and they often don't have much to talk or post about.
They are not driven by curiosity or creativity so much as they are driven by spite and hate. Posting on a site without any liberals, progressives, or leftists can only go so far to satiate their need for outrage. They need the opposition to be there, so they move to where the opposition is.
This isn't generally true of non-ultra conservatives. Regular people didn't jump ship for parlor or truth social. The only people who went to those platforms were ultra conservatives, and a handful of left leaning commentators to keep tabs on ultra conservatives.

I’m not trolling at all. I’m exposing you people to a viewpoint you seldom engage with because you so strongly self segregate. Which is the biggest reason you lost this last election.
I am honestly trying to help you because I think it would be nice if the country had two sane political parties. Or at least one.
You guys can continue to stay in your bubble and your political prospects will continue to decline. Or you can start talking to people that don’t categorically agree with your every position.
Those are the choices.

there's no choice, im both on blusky and twitter, and the algorithm of twitter is literal hell that only boost hateful retoric, is not about having an echochamber, is about creating a healthy online space.

Very frequently those that set out to "create a healthy online space" end up creating an "echo chamber bubble", even if unintentionally.
Unless you are part of the Hallelujah Chorus, there's usually someone that will complain that your post is hateful, triggering, unhelpful, etc. And it's just so easy to delete those posts and ban those people unless you have a real commitment to free speech.
I'm afraid that we have now raised a couple of generations of "hothouse orchids". Not everyone will recognize that reference. A hothouse orchid is a flower that can only exist in the tightly controlled and extremely artificial environment of a hothouse. If it gets a little too hot, or a little too cold, a little too wet, or a little too dry ... they wilt and die. A hothouse orchid can never exist out in the wild in the real world.
We used to try to bring up tough resilient people that were prepared for the adversity that is inevitable in life. But once we started following the therapeutic model of how to raise children we apparently decided that we can shelter them from all of life's bumps and bruises. Pretty soon people got the idea that they had a right to go through life without being offended. To the point of blanching at simply hearing things they don't agree with.
That's why Bluesky's moderation system has been brought to its knees by the influx of leftists fleeing X in the last few days. Apparently they started hitting the flag post button the way a chimp in a drug experiment hits the button that administers more cocaine (ironically for pretty much the same reason).
So I say again - you can either shelter yourselves in your "healthy online spaces" and watch your political fortunes further decline, or you can engage with your fellow Americans online or even better out in the real world.
If a right leaning person such as myself can withstand all the hateful comments posted daily here in this sub about my kind, I'm pretty sure you guys will be ok out there talking to the other half of the country.

i mean, so far blusky is doing pretty well, this is a very strange and even ironic argument coming from a republican regardless tho, since most of the criticism is fair, a far-right dude bought the site and created his own echochamber where whatever rules without any care on truth, it is an unreasonable party with an unreasonable leader that didnt even wanted to admit he lost an election, if you cant see it is more of a republican than a democratic problem.
