Bluesky is 99% people who left twitter because Elon Musk took over. I don't have any hard data but I can't think of any reason why a Bluesky user would celebrate someone on their side being attacked or murdered.
> It sounds like your point is when left wing politicos are targeted and people celebrate it, those are obviously sock-puppets and bots. But when right wing celebrities (for lack of a better word) are targeted, it's the democratic base that comes out in force to celebrate.
When left-wing politicos are targeted, my experience is that right-wing people have a playbook of possible responses:
1. It didn't even happen
2. It happened, but it wasn't one of our guys (with zero evidence to support that claim) - e.g. J6 was antifa, Paul Pelosi was attacked by his gay lover, etc.
3. Tasteless jokes, but nothing rising to the level of "it's good that this happened" or "he deserved it because of his political beliefs". Happy to be corrected on that one.
When right-wing politicos are targeted, my impression is that "the left" is much more celebratory. Maybe that's just my own bias/filter bubble.
If your assertion is "a bunch of people got on Bluesky to talk about the election..." well, did you notice there were two candidates? I think what you're saying is "DEMOCRATS left TWITTER to go to Bluesky," which may be true, but that is a hypothesis for which data would confirm or refute.
