Summary
Journalists are increasingly abandoning X (formerly Twitter) for Bluesky, citing higher engagement and less toxicity. Since Elon Musk’s takeover of X, changes like deprioritizing external links and rising hate speech have alienated many, especially marginalized groups.
Bluesky, founded by Jack Dorsey, offers a more welcoming environment, especially for journalists and activists, with 20x the engagement in some cases.
Reporters note better traffic, reduced harassment, and a focus on diverse stories.
Organizations like The Guardian and fundraising groups also report greater success on Bluesky compared to X.
So you are saying go to the thing that has been shit for years over the thing that isn’t shit yet because that second thing may become shit in the future?
No. Im a self serving bastard who wants to see Activpub as the dominant form of content sharing and discussion. Because i think Activpub is an objectivly better standard that gives more power and liberty to the individual.
