>All the lefties fled to Bluesky following Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover. But CEO Jay Graber says the app is for everyone—and could revolutionize how people communicate online.
Basically, how will bluesky attract other ideological clusters besides the "lefties" anti elon niche?
What bluesky urgently needs is diversity. Diversity of thought. Your social media cant takeover anything if it's an echo chamber. I very much doubt they'll attract conservatives.

> Diversity of thought
With all due respect, experience with those using phrases like "diversity of thought" and "echo chamber" (and even 'freedom of speech") has taught us that those phrases are characteristic of right wing takeovers. I don't believe that you're one of those takeover folks. My humble advice is that you should try not to use their catchphrases.

Lets put these catch phrases aside.
Bluesky has the goal to take over social. They attracted a narrow niche of an ideological cluster of people and their platform peaked in Nov 2024 and is quickly declining.
They urgently need to bring 'right wing' people to their platform.
How do they do that?

Actually an interesting question.
I would assume using language with those catchphrases and dog whistles in it. I would also hope that everyone involved sees the language for what it is, and resists change in as disruptive and humourous manner possible. I would hope some new, funny stunts get invented.
