Mark Kuban says Bluesky has “increased Ruder and more hated” and warned that a “lack of diversity of thought” on the platform is pushing users to return to Elon Musk’s X, social network shape known as Twitter.
The billionaire and tall techusiast entrepreneur had been one of Bluesky’s most visible champions, but now says it largely left
“The lack of diversity of thought here is really damaging the use,” Kubani wrote this week in a series of critical posts.
“It has been to be great and discuss politics and news. No more.”
Cuban, a technology billionaire who once owned the Dallas Mavericks of the NBA and who recently ended a long blow as one of the “Shark” investors in the hit “Shark Tank”, posted a link to a Washington Post Opinion title:
In part, columnist Megan McARDLE argued that the left -hand user base of the platform promotes a political silicon. Cuban agreed with the appreciation of the part.
“Moderation and blocking tools here are so advanced if you see someone you don’t want to see here, just block them. Don’t attack them,” he added.
He supported Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential elections, but did not donate to her campaign, joined Bluesky at the end of 2024 and posted nearly 2,000 times since.
His first post – “Hello the least hateful world” – put a hopeful tone. But since then that optimism has faded.
“The engagement went from a big dormitory for many topics, to agree with me or you are a Nazi fascist,” Cuban wrote. “We are forcing posts on X.”
He said that even small disputes have been fulfilled with great hostility.
“Even if you agree with 95% of what a person is saying about a topic, if there is a point that you can call as more a gray area, they will call you a fascist, etc.” Kubani wrote.
According to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, Cuban’s net value stands approximately $ 8.35 billion.
Some users did not kindly deal with Cuban’s criticism – and they make their feelings in soft, often tearful.
In response to his concerns, one user wrote: “Go delete your crocodile tears with one hundred with two of you. People are over the idea of ’cold billionaires.” “
Another told him, “man if I were as rich as you would probably be the least ap -y”, while a third simply said, “F -Kin leave then, p -y”.
However, another post, which Cuban also reprinted, read: “Like like you, as a billionaire, are a despised bastard and we want you to stop him and the big business here and just leave.”
Bluesky began as a decentralized alternative to social media and without an explosive increase in the consequences of the full approval of Elon Musk of Donald Trump’s re -election campaign at the end of 2024.
Trump’s musk support caused an exodus from X, running millions of users supported in Liberal in Bluesky in search of a quieter, more ideologically aligned environment.
Between November 2024 and May 2025, Bluesky’s user base tripled – from approximately 10 million to over 30 million – according to Pew Research Center. This analysis also revealed that many of the most prominent platform news influences lean politically.
Bluesky General Director Jay Graber accepted the politically run migration in a June 4 interview with Peter Kafka to Vox.
“People are who want to try something new. Peoplers people who find their community here,” she said.
“I think they are generally both people looking for something and people seek to leave something.”
But for Cuban, that community seems to have returned from the inside. He now works the platform is discouraging the debate and becoming a digital room of Echo.
The post has requested comment from Bluesky.
