precisely

the NFL forcing teams to leave alternatives and only be on twitter while simultaneously every single jewish org on the planet (aside from the ADL) abandons the platform...really telling

Many in the sports media either bury their head in the sand concerning what is happening in the world or silently agree.

your trying to create an echo chamber in bluesky where you only hear liberal left voices. if that’s what you want that’s sad

apachetrout.bsky.social•65 days ago

Thank you! I've been asking the LA Kings to get on Bluesky, giving them ample evidence that X is positioning their content right next to racist white nationalist filth. I know some orgs move slowly in adopting new social media, so hopefully your piece will help them (and others) move here.

PS - your article could use a Bluesky link at the end.

I’ve changed my email sig, but all my socials are nrarmour so that’s why I do that

apachetrout.bsky.social•65 days ago

It's the icons below your signature. It shows only Facebook, X, and email. That's probably a standard USA Today thing.

nrarmour.bsky.social•65 days ago

Ahh. Yes.

So glad much of the nice side of the #gymternet has moved to Bluesky. There aren't nearly enough gymnasts and NCAA teams here yet, but here's to hoping that they'll make the switch soon.

I got a "404 Page Not Found" when visiting the USAToday link above 😅

nrarmour.bsky.social•65 days ago

Hmm. Worked when I just tried it

huysj74.bsky.social•65 days ago

I just tried again. You are right. Clicking on the image works but not the link.

nrarmour.bsky.social•65 days ago

I see what you mean. Not sure why that is

retiredbaumer.bsky.social•65 days ago

As usual, you’re the best. Hope all is well otherwise.

nrarmour.bsky.social•65 days ago

Baumer! Thank you. Hope you’re good.

Great article and 100% accurate, even sports subjects are toxic at that cesspool, all the incel losers ripping on athletes that are 5000x the men they will ever dream of being, nothing but a bunch to hateful losers at the cesspool

X is simple not Twitter again. Alot has changed on the platform that is why I am here

jimowczarski.bsky.social•65 days ago

I bet the leagues (of which several reinvested into that platform) view it like doing business w/ the other unsavory people/countries they deal with.

What’s different, though, is they’re paying for it, and their “reach” is far less than they think w/ so many bot followers.
