Sod this. You win by going both high and low. By taking on the lofty arguments and by practicing low politics. The two go together.

Difficult to describe what a dangerous moment we are in. The owner of Twitter/richest man in the world/closest adviser to the next US president is promoting a far-right Tommy Robinson (!) documentary to his 200 million followers. This is the mainstreaming of violent, Islamophobic fascism.

Foreign Billionaire tweets about a pointless UK petition to his 200 million followers, twice in 3 hours and the Right Wing get super excited that the signups are an organic show the “will of the people”🙄

Bluesky’s growth has exploded as people seek alternatives to X, Facebook and Threads. The social media site's 20 full-time employees have been working around the clock to deal with the issues that come with hyper-growth.

This is really getting quite remarkable • BlueSky user numbers have doubled in the past week and now total 3.5 million across US & UK 🚀 • Number of people deleting their X/Twitter account remains way up And the next chart is particularly notable...

Did you know lots of news outlets have Reddit accounts? Some, like WaPo and NatGeo, have been on there for years, but many joined recently. Reddit’s seen a big boost in traffic this year thanks to Google, so it makes sense for news outlets to follow. Plus they get to engage with active subreddits.

What’s happening to LinkedIn these days with people posting like it’s Facebook? “5 sales tips I learned from feeding squirrels in the park” “How my recent divorce inspired me to ditch problem clients that are PITAs” “Look at my kid for no apparent reason”

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss. She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’ Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️

I was asked (repeatedly, aggressively) on the other platform for my lawyery views on Allison Pearson’s story. I declined to comment because Ms Pearson is a famously unreliable narrator of events, and I wanted to wait for independent evidence. Alas for Ms Pearson…

@TheEconomist: Donald Trump has picked Robert F. Kennedy junior to be health secretary in his administration. Worryingly, Mr Kennedy peddles many falsehoods, like the idea that childhood immunisations are linked to autism. Now he has fluoride in his sights 👇

A tale of two platforms: BlueSky user numbers have hit a new record high in recent days, while the number of people deleting their accounts on X/Twitter has rocketed 🚀
