JOURNALISTS FLOCK TO BLUESKY
“We have posts exactly the same on Twitter & on Bluesky & Bluesky is getting 20 times the engagement or more than Twitter. Seeing a social media platform that doesn’t throttle links really makes it clear how badly we were being limited”

Let’s keep this place clear of trash please.
Hopefully the only people left on X will be the ones who like to argue with each other. They can then get on with it without bugging us.
Kinda like the real Middle East really 😏
Id also be curious to see what an analysis shows for 300 character limit for journalists vs the 8000 character limit does for engagement with complex thoughts.

But seriously, Bluesky realized they didn’t need to incorporate every capitalistic idea that’s ever been thought of and that they didn’t need to force people to stay on their app.
And we call it X ⚫ as Twitter died - and is now reborn as BlueSky 💙
That’s the main thing Elon just didn’t understand about Twitter. He seems more concerned with booting signal of people who pay than asking what users want.
Indeed. If I ever posted about Gaza a few things would happen.
Bots, thirst trap bots, less engagement in general and my feed would be throttled to posts that in social media terms, were late and old.
on a Bluesky search and at the end of the NBC article the only social media is X.
X was / is limiting access to certain sites, especially those with links that take them out of the app.
Facebook had long form but removed its Notes feature.
BlueSky and Threads are short format too.
Social media kind of sucks in this regard. I have an alt platform on my domain, but most laymen don't.
BTW, has anyone noticed that Elon Musk is an anagram for the more appropriate Lone Skum ?
Means nothing, though.
Bet you can’t explain your logic.
It’s not about ”conservative opinion”. It’s a complete swamp, filled with hate and bots. There’s hardly any exchange of opinions. Believe me, I’ve tried many, many times over, only to realise there’s no point. Facts don’t matter. Hate and cruelty does.
I haven't had bots bother me in many months, which is a good thing. But I also don't engage in normal realms of conversation. I'm normally deep into theology and philosophy, where the exchange of opinions is very charitable.
Main reason being I was turning just as ugly as everyone else there.
ELON! give me my phone back right now!
If you just mean that you will choose not to follow them, that's certainly fine!
Example: I have a breaking story that shows how they are trying to undermine democracy, but if I I report it they would be furious and deny me access to future stories
Long Live Bluesky!
We need new voices, Ben is getting a little creaky.
Will they course correct, or will the cowardice continue. We'll see.
We're delighted to find you here.
Please, tell your friends and if they aren't here, get them to join.
Thanks
The members
The pen is mightier than the sword ✍🏻
It's been overtly toxic to an extreme degree for a long time. If anything it's infuriating seeing articles about how it's only NOW too toxic to continue using. Like... wtf?
Would love to see more of your content here.
Sorry but we have lost the true Journalists

Glad with all journalists around here.
We now can go back to reading stories and events without being gaslighted by trolls and bots.
On Bluesky, with 100 followers, I have a reaction to almost every post.
With a mutual, I stated I got tired of having to go into smackdown mode with Trolls and here conversation can start again
Exactly my point!
The "engagement" on Xitter is mostly bots spewing trash.
Perhaps

Otherwise, go back to Twitter where the MAGA morons enjoy the Nazi-supporting drivel we've come to expect from most of MSM.
You are way too late to be honest now anyway, since MSM actively let Fat Hitler look like a good guy!
