    Bias has nothing to do with it, it’s applying probability. Saying that because there are multiple accusers make it more likely that he is guilty than that there is a malicious campaign against him isn’t controversial.

    You understand there’s a difference between assessing guilt from a legal standpoint and forming a view on culpability based on likelihood. Or maybe you don’t?

    It’s not unreasonable to conclude that it’s more likely that he’s a rapist than not. That doesn’t amount to a certainty, but it’s like seeing overcast skies and saying it’s likely it will rain

    I’m not sure I’m aware of any outright false allegations against footballers, if you think an acquittal means the allegation is false it shows you understand the law about as well as you understand most things

    Just because there's not as much hate on there (though human nature being what it is, i suspect it's only a matter of time) doesn't mean it's one-sided
    My facile understanding of Bluesky is where all the screaming lefties and liberals went after Musk bought Twitter

    So essentially you have two places, one that is an echo chamber of wokeness and one that is an echo chamber of right wing to far right nonsense (outright racism, conspiracy theory and soft support for authoritarianism over democracy)

    Twitter is pretty revolting at times, I just imagine bluesky matches it but in shrillness and piety replacing hatred of people with different colour skin, women and a neo trad Christianity
