No holding the people back

Unlike legacy media, social media users speak freely with minimal inhibition. Untethered from corporate oversight, the people’s social media content is not sanitized by overly cautious editors. Social media publishers are not bound to writing generic headlines or sugarcoated opinions. If legacy media is akin to a couple sitting on a park bench social media is brash, like the couple who recently scaled to the tippy top of the Empire State Building. There is no shortage of witty, thought-provoking and entertaining material. Without further ado, below are some of the best social media gems recently posted on Bluesky.

Good day.
