 I finally understood why Bluesky is booming.

 LFG! The last puzzle piece 😂😂😂🚀🚀🚀 
 Someone associated with the WEF is proposing that gender be a 32 bit integer. 
 My pronouns are overflowing! 
 Over/flowing 
 My pronounce is my npub key 🔐 
 LGTM!

 Do you plan to add all 500 options? 
 Basically....

 😂 
 LOL 
 I think just a slider for Male/Female would be enough. It's just one bit too, very efficient. 
 Dude we need to support the LGBTQ+abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789 
 You monster! You left out the Klingon alphabet. Its like you're denying my right to exist! 
 lol

I keep hearing about BlueSky from Nostr ppl.

Is it actually gaining real adoption?  What is the general read on it becoming a primary social media platform for [whatever groups of ppl]?

I’m aware that it is a fully centralized platform, and some of the discussions happening around that. 
 It is not a fully centralized platform  
 True, it's only partially centralised.  
 A system is only as decentralized as it's least decentralized part. It's centralized.  
 LOL, that's great, with that they can't call us far right fascists because we have pronouns directly into the protocol. LGTM! 
 That's some 3D chess thinking.  
 I wish that were true LOL!

These people still smear Bernie Sanders as a "far right fascist" and "antisemite". 

No statement is too ridiculous or too hypocritical, if it serves The Narrative... 
 Queer Marxism/Theory isn't about LGBT. That's just one area where the Marxists have found their revolutionary energy that they so desperately want. 

Queer Marxism calls for the abolishment of normalcy. It wants to get rid of anything considered normal. Once something abnormal gains normal status, they will then attack that ... and so the viscious demonic destructive cycle will go on and on, constantly destroying everything decent and normal in society.

The goals are to disrupt, destabilize, dismantle and destroy the individualist free society, and replace it with communist forced - collectivism. 

The Marxists don't actually care about gay or LGBT. They are merely using them to seize control. Once the Marxists gain control they will kill the most radicall of the "rainbow guard" movement just, like they did in China with the red guard that put Mao back into power.

Useful idiots 
 “The goals are to disrupt, destabilize, dismantle and destroy the individualist free society, and replace it with communist forced - collectivism. “

So true - and they are brutal at it, killing opponents and yesterday’s proponents. And random picks for a good measure 
 It’s amazing how effective on the personal level a simple Gfy can be. 
 this is pretty me James Lindsay's thesis.  I agree🎯 
 I had been noticing the communist connection for a while, and then discovered Lindsay, who greatly expanded on it.

My latest realization is that it's all the leftist Marxists acquiring glory unto themselves. Being "including" in the glory of others without don't anything of merit.

I've my had a couple of weeks to toss the idea around in my head, so not sure how to present the idea on its fullness.  
 Normalization—>Destabilization 
 I put "Assigned/by/God" in the pronoun field at one institution, and then noticed they removed the option after that. 😂

So then I made it the end part of my last name so it'd still show up like with the freaks. Then I noticed they changed the code to not show additional words in the end of your last name. 😂 
 finally the devs start giving people what they want 
 Allowing us to write our gender is actually a good idea. I would also love the option of allowing us to write in our political affiliation and many other options. 

This could allow us to mass find or mass block people with certain views. 

Nostr or relays could also gather statistics on how many male, female trans etc are on nostr.

gather statistics on how many liberals, conservatives libertarians etc are on nostr

I might have to request this on github

We currently have no way to find or view statistics on what type of people are on nostr  
 Yes. And relationship status so I can filter for singles.  
 This really bothers me.  The ability to mass block based on viewpoint has really dangerous potential repercussions to our civilization.   
 Can you add a field for species? It's only fair that the Lightning Pollos and all the Cats from the Internet have their own npub.  
 This was merged btw

 Bluesky is 'blooming' because its getting way more attention than it deserves, in the legacy media as well as the mindspace of other people.

It's in the sweet spot of being 'not owned by billionaires' - a community for left wing people. 

As digital spaces and communities continue to fragment, there will be some temporary outliers who gain some momentum but walled gardens continue to grow smaller.

It is the interoperable digital spaces with least friction and best opportunities for free and open markets that will continue to thrive and accumulate traction, and in that sense, nothing can compete with Nostr at this point.
