I remember the Syria coverage dragging on for years. It’s strange to see the brutal Assad regime being toppled on a Saturday night with no real resistance & far less excitable coverage than we had back in 2011-12. Echoes of the way the Ceausescus were toppled in Romania during its revolution.

Just deleted my Twitter account. Gutted. I’d made so many friends there, and it was vital to my career, but Elon Musk destroyed it both morally and practically. For several months I’d kept the account to lure people here, and now I’m done. I’m so glad Bluesky is thriving - thanks to you all 🙏

Twitter didn't gain relevance by being the biggest platform, it gained relevancy through the quality of the content and individuals. The main goal for everyone here should be to encourage global defender, media, and establishment accounts to transition to #BlueSky. That'll provide legitimacy.
