Oddbean new post about login | logout The Guardian left X. The institutional account exodus from X is ramping up, and they're all exploring alternatives 👀 Bluesky is doing well, with its 1min sign up, clean design and diverse userbase. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/nov/13/the-guardian-no-longer-post-on-x-twitter-elon-musk
And strict censorship. I'm sure their readers will love it.
We don't give a fuck about legacy propoganda. If they get turned off by nostr then we have a fantastic immune system to our network.
All I read was that traditional media continues it's slow painful slide into obsolescence. 🤷♂️
Guardian has some excellent journalism. I was made aware of the story when my father in law joined Bluesky following their lead. All should be using nostr
Why do you think Bluesky is there go to - bigger audience there?
It is much bigger. 10x-100x
Better user experience?
A bit. But they invested in infrastructure and it paid off big. In truth, nostr would not be able to handle a faction of bluesky even with a perfect UX.
diverse userbase on bluesky ?
SCREW Commie Bluesky! Whoever leaves X to go there lives in their mommy’s Basement and can’t handle the Truth! Bluesky will be perfect for shielding them and feeding them with CIA propaganda that continues their Brainwashing Sheeple Compliance!!! Bluesky = Blue Pilled
Haha, love the passion 🙌 I'll be honest, I know f all about Bluesky beyond the ui looking nice and simple and onboarding looking easy
Thanks! Here’s some information on Bluesky… Social media researcher Axel Bruns said the platform offered an alternative to X, formerly Twitter, including a more effective system for blocking or suspending problematic accounts and policing harmful behaviour. “It’s become a refuge for people who want to have the kind of social media experience that Twitter used to provide, but without all the far-right activism, the misinformation, the hate speech, the bots and everything else,” he said. “The more liberal kind of Twitter community has really now escaped from there and seems to have moved en masse to Bluesky.” Bluesky was founded by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey back in 2019, although it later became an independent entity. Dorsey has since left the company board and urged users to remain on X. It claims to give people additional control over their online experience, although its real attraction for leftists is its apparent ability to “police harmful behavior.”
