Cleveland.com's Peers (And it is FUNNY!)

We here at Beacon of Speech don't have a great social presence:
We have a Facebook Account that we half-ass it at.
We have a YouTube presence that is nearly non-existent.
And we have a Bluesky Account that has netted us almost zero actual readers.
With that being said though, we have a soft-spot in our hearts for our Liberal Friends at Bluesky. Why specifically Liberals? Almost every account starts the same way: We had to leave X, too much hate.
So silently, I have been following many Cleveland Institutions on Bluesky, including our local nemesis cleveland.com. Confronting cleveland.com on Bluesky is akin to arguing in the library, so I try to be very respectful, I try not to engage.
But today I was feeling feisty. Cleveland.com is all over the internet promoting the Hands Off Rallies. As I scrolled down cleveland.com's Bluesky feed, I noticed something different.
According to Bluesky, cleveland.com's account isn't similar to the New York Times, the Washington Post, or even the USA Today, all of whom have Bluesky Accounts. No, cleveland.com's feed is similar to:
Onion Person: My name is june - she/her - an evil transsexual disinfo influencer who posts and talks and loves
Jen in Motion: I'm here to be a reply gal and continue my 20+ year habit of being social & shitpost-y on the internet.
WuTang for the Children: Politics, Music and Sports
Brooke: Tlönista. Shitposting merrily downward. Weird plant, cat, books lady. Sci-fi, fantasy, art, jazz, etc
Missing the Point: Ask not for whom the point is missed. It is missed for thee.....
Hold on a second....
