Ask not for whom the Louvre of Bluesky tolls, it tolls for thee


It’s a sad weekend over at Bluesky, where one of the best accounts has disappeared — though we can still hope for its resurrection.

It’s hard to write a proper appreciation now that the Louvre has vanished, and it’s truly impossible to create a full taxonomy of the all varieties of poster’s disease it managed to capture in the wild. Perhaps the defining characteristic of posted captured by the Louvre of Bluesky — beyond the simple failure to get a joke — was its scolding tone, along with a sense of absolute outrage that someone, somewhere might be having fun on the internet. Maybe I’m projecting too much onto a screenshot-filled anonymous social media account, but to me, it always felt like the exact opposite of the tedious, ad nauseum complaints that Bluesky is a liberal echo chamber.
