“My colleagues are getting 15-minute one-on-one check-ins with 19, 20, 21-year-old college graduates asking to justify their existence,” one speaker at a recent town hall in northern Virginia said without identifying himself or his agency due to fear of retaliation.

Hard to hold a discussion when everyone is arguing in bad faith.


What metric are you using for the comparison of x vs bluesky ?


I mean use any service like Semrush. Blue sky has real traffic, X has fake traffic. It’s an objectively true statement.


The person i was replying to was claiming that bluesky opinions were somehow worse than x, i was wondering what metric they were using.

They've ve deleted it now, I'm assuming because they didn't have a position they felt they could defend.


What? It was a first-hand complaint from someone at a town hall, and it seems to corroborate with the intention of Musk’s campaign to ‘cut waste’ and other statements about how this is playing out from a federal employee’s perspective.

‘That report’ is based on a reporter hearing this statement at the town-hall, not innuendos and rumors. Your very statement that it was based on innuendo and rumors is poisoning the well.


> Unfortunately if there is no way to confirm what he said, that report is based on rumours and innuendo.

I mean yeah, that's part of the problem -- there's no oversight here, by design.
