Paul is one of the most approachable and reasonable of the bsky devs. Take someone like Why, who is a crypto dweeb, a rationalist and a Vibecamp regular.

Bluesky has one of the best user bases and it's run by rationalist crypto bros who totally aren't nazis, they're just the other ten guys at the table. I think of them reading Scott Alexander rant for the past ten years about the EVILS of feminists, leftists, social justice warriors and non-race-scientists, and GUESS WHO YOUR USERBASE IS MFs
