Bluesky is a psyop insofar as every Silicon Valley platform is a psyop, but the answer is more simple. Social media sites take off when there is an exodus from an existing platform. Voat was in position when Reddit finally started to crack down on GamerGate, so it filled up with Nazis. Bluesky was in position when Elon acquired Twitter, destroyed the "legitimacy" the verification system, and made it pay-to-win, so it filled up with VBNMW liberals and associated clout chasers.

Yah, there is truth to that.
so it filled up with VBNMW liberals and associated clout chasers.
This is the part that is just hilarious to me. The most annoying people on twitter all went in en masse to this one service where so many better alternatives existed. And then all the nazi's rushed in to replace them. These people behave more like bots than I would expect bots to.
