For everyone who thinks I should leave Twitter this poll I just did there explains the problem. Bluesky remains unattractive to a big chunk of people.

And it's quite well documented you get better engagement here

Seems kinda pathetic to even talk about really. If he doesn’t have enough self respect to leave Nazi-land, he could at the least not dump it all over our lawn.

marxismnojutsu.bsky.social•5 days ago

unbelievable to post this L with no shame.

jeffr23.bsky.social•5 days ago

And twice as many replies to the post here.

orlybird.bsky.social•5 days ago

Good point

heidicleveland.bsky.social•5 days ago

It's a matter of principle. Being on X is like driving a Tesla.

twinklepark.bsky.social•5 days ago

Exactly. It's going to catch fire and burn one way or the other.

edwoodk.bsky.social•5 days ago

Anyone still on Twitter now should just stay there, especially bluechecks. .

williegreen2569.bsky.social•5 days ago

Jarrett Walker shouldn't complain. I have more than 10,000 followers here on Bluesky and I give out opinions. I'm very grateful that Bluesky is so much better than Elonda Musk's crummy depressing X formerly known as Twitter.

franklyridiculous.bsky.social•5 days ago

Xcrement or Sh1tter as I like to think of it

misterdavid.bsky.social•5 days ago

His handle reads like a cryptic reference to trafficking.

lmfsilva.bsky.social•5 days ago

Also, I'm guessing a lot of people didn't even see the poll because it mentioned bluesky and mastodon, and we know Elon is petty enough to serve less of that post to his followers.

natalieweiner.bsky.social•5 days ago

he follows 4k people, lost cause

queenmcsteve.bsky.social•5 days ago

I read a book by that guy that really opened my mind up to a few things about transit, but now I’ve got some doubts about his intellectual rigour.

wallawalter.bsky.social•5 days ago

Those followers are as real as Musk's hair plugs.

generalisimo.bsky.social•5 days ago

I left twitter and have never looked back. I don't know how any self respecting person can stay on Musk's site.

mangosundpalmen.bsky.social•5 days ago

I stayed in order to share my views with the opposition. I eager to show to them, that they aren’t the majority (at least here in Germany). However I soon noticed that most of my posts/comments were just marked as spam or not shown to people after a while, so I quit.

lukeoneil47.bsky.social•5 days ago

Thanks for letting me know

alexpberg.bsky.social•5 days ago

Lol. What a clown.

potrzebiesystem.bsky.social•5 days ago

No way that dude is real lol

hylen26.bsky.social•5 days ago

"I like hanging out with Nazis, and this poll makes it okay."

soliae.bsky.social•5 days ago

I love fellow propaganda interpreters who see through the baloney.

comicbooksdanny.bsky.social•5 days ago

He's got a blue check! He's PAYING to get 0.9% engagement

66alw99.bsky.social•5 days ago

And people who'd recommend leaving Twitter are unlikely to still be on there voting, anyway

anonbeing.bsky.social•5 days ago

Without selection bias, 390 is absolutely representative for 42.000, so what's your point?

theendofus.bsky.social•4 days ago

He sucks, no ethics, morals or common sense. It’s all about the money with these assholes.

darrn.bsky.social•5 days ago

I don't know who that person is, but I think I will block them to be safe.

junkyardjoy3.bsky.social•5 days ago

lol

dilettante.bsky.social•5 days ago

incredible

bsky.happycappie.me•5 days ago

390 is plenty big of sample size to be statistically relevant.

wellgoodelsie.bsky.social•5 days ago

If he’s able to comprehend basic statistics then maybe he’ll understand.

thx3188.bsky.social•5 days ago

he has nearly twice as much interaction on this thread about why he should stay there than he had responses to that poll

chriscampy.bsky.social•5 days ago

Dollar store Phil Collins here

dcweber.bsky.social•5 days ago

And it's also why you don't make decisions based on opinion polls.

dwntwnt.bsky.social•5 days ago

Its hard to look at twitter anymore. Its unreal that he took such an amazing resource & turned it into what it is now. Bluesky is ok, atmosphere is much better here but everyone has a twitter acct & not enough have one here.

franklyridiculous.bsky.social•5 days ago

I deleted my Twitter account last Nov

maxrockahansky.bsky.social•5 days ago

Who cares

liquidcarb.bsky.social•5 days ago

Most of the Twitter followers are just bots at this point

darwinwoodka.bsky.social•5 days ago

Well I just unfollowed him here so

ejmaron.bsky.social•5 days ago

I like how 156 people constitutes 'a big chunk'

schroedinger.bsky.social•5 days ago

The follower and view counts, even steelmanning and assuming it's all real people and no bots, are very clearly likely fake. Just feels like no way posts are getting as many views as the site tells you while getting so little engagement (based on around a year ago, gotta think it's worse now).

schroedinger.bsky.social•5 days ago

And we all know Musk would 200% fake that shit to trick people into staying on Nazi Twitter.

jessenorris.xboxera.com•5 days ago

bot interactions/follows keep making people think that their Twitter audience is far bigger/more engaged than it actually is.

thx3188.bsky.social•5 days ago

he got 390 responses to the poll lmao

josephcw.bsky.social•5 days ago

So about 60 IRL followers

davegrapes.bsky.social•5 days ago

If one is still duped by that shit then they’re a lost cause

cp01712.bsky.social•5 days ago

Majority of the people here still post on Twitter. No reason to leave.

cp01712.bsky.social•5 days ago

Lol how do you clowns expect people to leave when majority of you keep posting on x

steveatlas.bsky.social•5 days ago

You don't spend much time thinking, anonymous guy, do you?

bryanrva.dev•5 days ago

That post also has 1.3k views, 9 likes, and 6 comments

kakehres.bsky.social•5 days ago

You mean like "bots don't vote"?

jbcreative.bsky.social•5 days ago

And how many of those followers are bots? 🥴

steveatlas.bsky.social•5 days ago

The 40,000 Twitter bots that follow him neglected to vote, but the trolls who follow him did.

lukeoneil47.bsky.social•5 days ago

Which one of you reposted this to bring me the worst lib replies I've seen in a long time?

bartsmith.bsky.social•5 days ago

just based on him having a large number of followers, it was probably @kevinmkruse.bsky.social

thehell.zone•5 days ago

yeah that’d do it

sunnywillow.bsky.social•5 days ago

That's how I got here. 😀

jornathanbb.bsky.social•5 days ago

Oh god, what are the libs saying now?

serisothikos.bsky.social•5 days ago

not it

utumno4.bsky.social•5 days ago

mbletst.bsky.social•5 days ago

you probably got discover feed'd

lukeoneil47.bsky.social•5 days ago

And the majority said they’d follow here lol

magnificentskinbag.bsky.social•5 days ago

maybe he's just there for the racism

cp01712.bsky.social•5 days ago

Mina k is a racist?!?!

petegain.es•5 days ago

OMG Mina!!!!!!

lukeoneil47.bsky.social•5 days ago

Likely place to find it in fairness

magnificentskinbag.bsky.social•5 days ago

you don't go to the kitchen to find a tire tool

joolzmadcat.bsky.social•5 days ago

oddly in my house that's where you will most likely find one

curses.zone•5 days ago

this smacks of the way people covered bernie sanders' standings in the polls in 2020

slendy5127.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yeah, the more you look at it the more it seems to be that Jarret just wants ANY excuse to continue supporting Musk’s Nazi bar rather than NOT doing that.
