I've been thinking about the "lib Joe Rogan" question more, and I wonder how much is just the medium. We never saw left-wing talk radio take off either.

I check in on BlueSky once a day, and there's really some good people over there. But it also represents much of the worst of the censorious left. Yglesias tried it for a few days and stopped because he was treated like a Nazi. Something similar would surely happen with Chait if he tried. Jesse Singal would be hanged in effigy on BlueSky. There's plenty of ordinary liberals over there who aren't like this, but they've stood by for the browbeatings. The sad result is that, for left of center people, BlueSky is far too much of a frustrating monoculture.
