Instruktøren for kryolit-dokumentaren tager til genmæle i P1 Orientering - men svarene er langt fra overbevisende: www.dr.dk/lyd/p1/p1-or... For mig at se er dokumentaren et eksempel på misinformation, som det oftest praksiseres i politik og på sociale medier. 🧵 (1/4)

This platform has grown explosively since the election, but growth has slowed down the past few days. Should we be concerned? No. A temporary plateau was inevitable given the heterogeneity of social media users. From my point of view Bluesky is already over the hump 1/

Tweeting is the generic term for posts on twitter-like platforms. You can tweet on Threads, Mastodon, X and BlueSky - and a number of other platforms yet to be invented. Currently my favorite Twitter is BlueSky.

🚨New publication alert!🚨 Blue Sky has been growing fast lately—a testament to how platforms adapt and thrive in dynamic environments. Adaptability for SoMe users, but even more for industries facing challenges like energy crises. We explore adaptation to the WWI energy crisis in a new paper🧵👇 (1/7)
