The Bluesky trending column feels very Newspeak-y to me.

Yes, lots of people are talking about the “Humble Bundle website redesign” (#4), but what it’s actually about is how the new vibe coded site was launched without a bunch of security features.

Similarly, the “Leather Jackets in tech” isn’t right – it’s about people roasting Jensen Huang.

I assume Bluesky is generating these topic lists with an LLM, and it’s coming up with the least offensive “technically-still-accurate” descriptions possible.

The Soviet agitprop department would be proud.
