This is where the train down from $44B turns from local to express.

duffer04.bsky.social•93 days ago

I certainly hope so.

j-sheinkman.bsky.social•93 days ago

I began my X exodus today by deactivating X. Most of the accounts I followed have already gone to Bluesky. Not looking back

jauntyangle.bsky.social•93 days ago

I deactivated last week. I created an account here a few months ago and it was a ghost town, now it feels like the old experience of Twitter has just come back in the space of a few weeks. Glorious.

organicrainstorm.bsky.social•93 days ago

Just deactivated today. Turns out I spent so much time on Twitter trying to find content that is abundant on Bluesky. The product is just superior

michaelniceperson.bsky.social•93 days ago

I hope so Carl.

jpl1.bsky.social•93 days ago

Yep

We the people killed Twitter

endtimesjen.bsky.social•93 days ago

Kind of. Twitter got me thru the last Scump nightmare and helped with other personal pain..but X and Muskovite killed Twitter. I will always feel fondly about it.

duncanpepperwat.bsky.social•94 days ago

It used to be good, interesting. Now it’s Truth Social on steroids with the predictable reaction from a user base hyped on steroids. Plus the bots are terrible

I’d read the article but my adderall is wearing off

If Threads weren't being run specifically to generate ad revenue with all other concerns being various degrees of unimportant, it could stand a chance of being something other than baby food. But, not seeing that happen.

david-stone.bsky.social•93 days ago

Not a subscriber. What's their conclusion? Blue Sky better?

agreenspan.bsky.social•93 days ago

Ive been on @bsky.app for less than 48-hrs and its clearly a better app for meaningful discourse absent the drive-by trolling of Russian bots & far right extremists.

mdauber.bsky.social•93 days ago

We can only hope!

jm-kane.bsky.social•93 days ago

(So far) Bluesky is kinda like a grad school free-wheeling discussion/debate covering world history, without classmates punching each other...

losangeles1850.bsky.social•93 days ago

Blue sky is turning great for politics and news, but hobbies such as cooking, travel and sports are extremely limited.

untitled18966.bsky.social•93 days ago

I have tons of sports content on my feed

ryanthomas.bsky.social•94 days ago

Be cool to read that. But pay wall. Oh well, maybe someone will read it somewhere 🤷…. Maybe

slashinvestor.bsky.social•93 days ago

Oh btw other question. I enjoy listening to you on CNBC, but man oh man that nutter Kernen is just too much. I listen to you Faber, Eisner, and Cramer, but not Squawkbox. During that time I switch to Bloomberg. When will Kernen be gone?

aircooled.bsky.social•93 days ago

Kernen is unwatchable and a right wing hack

slashinvestor.bsky.social•93 days ago

Oh no kidding. If he stuck to economics I could endure him. On Bloomberg they have a "Kernen", but because she focuses on economics and the market she is endurable. Kernen just spins off in la-la land.

dianamc.bsky.social•93 days ago

The rug is as annoying as his comments.

slashinvestor.bsky.social•93 days ago

The problem I have with Twitter is that there is zero discussion. Crazy conspiracies can be made up and a herd will say, "oh that's really good." Sometimes I think about using my account to trash talk and troll. But then I think naaaa...

trilogyofthehorse.bsky.social•94 days ago

Threads is stupid.

v-ron.bsky.social•93 days ago

🦋 Butterfly in the Sky, I want to watch twitter dieeee!

robertkal.bsky.social•93 days ago

I could care less about Twitter. Bluesky is simply a superior experience.

thuishavencuracao.bsky.social•93 days ago

I thought nobody was reading the Washington post anymore?

goblinburgers.bsky.social•93 days ago

1 in 3 users on Twitter is a paid troll or a bot. If that’s not the death of Twitter I don’t know what is

sccharlston716.bsky.social•93 days ago

Your engagement with MAGA on X is exactly what X needs to survive.

If X is just a bunch of dudes selling reverse mortgages and Trump $2 bills it becomes Truth Social.

Your followers fuel X, deactivate Twitter it dies faster. Leave X!!!!

Twitter doomed itself by monetizing faux rage-entertainment. Then the perverted Musk coup de grâce— recasting it into a frankenstein-child without parental limit-setting. A vast playground-hellscape for scammers, bitcoin, racists, & asymmetrical Russian warfare v. the free West.

greatplainsgrandpa.bsky.social•93 days ago

Oh, & happy holidays!

boocow16.bsky.social•94 days ago

Hold that thought while I find a tears!

thevaluesvoter.bsky.social•93 days ago

The difference between my experience here and my experience there: when I open this app, I’m not instantly pissed off by seeing content I would never seek out on my own. And I’m not annoyed by a bunch of ads.

From a peace of mind perspective alone, this place is an exponentially better experience.

I sincerely hope this is true but it seems like wishful thinking

tradingpoints.org•93 days ago

44 billion just doesn’t get you as much as it used to.

kuhiov.bsky.social•94 days ago

If not for BlueSky, would not have seen that Washington Post article.

kazugo.bsky.social•93 days ago

And Tesla after that. Please.

stoodio54.bsky.social•92 days ago

Carl you’ve consistently been my single most important source of fact, news, perspective, insight, hope and sanity this past decade. Please continue ❤️ and thank you
