I can already see the horror of #Twitter threads on #Bluesky. People, there is something called #blogging. If you want to thread more than a couple of posts, you'd better write a #blog than a bottomless #tweet thread.


Senator @Paulatics Paula Simons rose today in Question Period in Canada’s Senate to ask the government why (the hell! - my words lol) Government is still using that platform of hate, misogyny and Russian misinformation called X!?

Boost to support the Senator!! And ask your MP, MLA, or other government representative wherever you are to do the same!!

Everyone on #Bluesky seem very busy congratulating themselves on fleeing #Muskodon to the new bright, shiny refuge. New #Twitter, same as the old Twitter. Meanwhile, back on the Bad Place, a techbro billionaire (#BillAckman), suggests buying the new, blue, bird, and shutting it down.
Tweet from Bill Ackman: "Bluesky's value is estimated at $500M-$B. Acquiring and shutting it down could prevent further fracturing of the town square. This cost may be justified to preserve market dominance and avoid fragmentation, which, while draconian, ultimately keeps people together."

Deleting all your Tweets does NOT, in fact, delete that data from Twitter's servers, at least based on my "download of archive" of my account after deleting all my tweets. 🙄 #Twitter
11,992MB (11GB) of data on X, after deleting every tweet on the service.


TICK...TOCK...TICK...TOCK...

Is this the end for X?

Has the world had enough of the far-right billionaire Elon Musk?

A growing Musk-Trump relationship and growing rivals spell trouble for the fading platform

The former Twitter could fade away, or help shape a dark future hosting voices of a new authoritarian world

Billionaire Elon Musk


It's kind annoying but entirely unsurprising that folk are ditching #Twitter just to go to another corporate platform #BlueSky

And all it took was for Elno to help Trump win an election.

Turns every quote into a Twitter embed so that way average users don't have to remember what a link is.

Man, gotta love Journalism sometimes am I right my fellow folks?

News publishers, press freedom advocates and journalists in past days have come out in Europe to turn their backs on X, the social media site run by tech tycoon and Donald Trump booster Elon Musk.

"A nonprofit continuing to post to X is not only unwelcome by the crowd growing there, but they are complicit in what is to come.

That's why 62% of nonprofits active on X have already begun building a presence on new and emerging platforms."

Read about why @saskia doesn't think nonprofits should be sticking to X in her latest blog post.

Again good news, better late than never and I hope the trend will continue: La Vanguardia has stopped posting directly on X, citing the platform’s role in spreading misinformation, hate speech, and bot-driven distortions. The move follows the paper’s concerns over content moderation cuts since Musk’s takeover and aligns with Trump’s proposal to appoint Musk to a new government efficiency role.

We're helping important organisations move away from Big Tech platforms and towards open New Social platforms - like Mastodon!

But, we can't do it alone. We'd love to hear which organisations you think should make the move and why, so we can show them that there is a community waiting here for them.

Better yet, if you have a connection to an important organisation, we'd love to be introduced!

Some good news: The Guardian has announced it will stop posting from its official accounts on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), due to concerns that the negatives, including "often disturbing content," now outweigh the benefits. The organization informed readers of this decision, affecting over 80 accounts with around 27 million followers.

"We wanted to let readers know that we will no longer post on any official Guardian editorial accounts on the social media site X (formerly Twitter). We think that the benefits of being on X are now outweighed by the negatives and that resources could be better used promoting our journalism elsewhere."

Now that Donald Trump has given Elon Musk a job in his forthcoming government, presumably X/Twitter will have to label itself as 'state-affiliated media'?

The Guardian will no longer post on its 80 different accounts on Twitter/X (combined following: 27 million).
“X is a toxic media platform and […] its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse.”

Toxic media platform

The Guardian will no longer post on Twitter. It described the platform as promoting disturbing content including "far-right conspiracy theories and racism."

"As socially responsible organisations and individuals we’ve all put a lot of thought into what our values are, and why we do what we do. It’s time to stand up for those same values in social media."

#FranceCulture : #FrançoisSaltiel annonce "faire une croix sur #X" (*) et appelle de ses voeux un mouvement d'ensemble des #média. Il mentionne au passage #Mastodon, mais papillone plutôt du côté de #bluesky.

(*) Sur la transciption actuellement cela se conclut par "j'y travaille", en direct il semble avoir évolué pour un passage à l'acte... Ça tergiverse...!

For some reason people fleeing the sinking #Twitter / #X ship for #BlueSky don't seem to be aware of the fact that crypto bros at #BlockchainCapital bought a huge stake in the company just a few weeks ago. Like these are basically the same crypto bros who just helped #ElonMusk buy Twitter. They might even be literally the same people (I strongly suspect they are but I'm too lazy to check). Either way #BlockchainCapital was co-founded by #BrockPierce, who also brought you #Tether, AKA the company that Trump's transition team chairman manages $120 billion for. Pierce is also a friend of the #Netanyahu family.

You don't have to take my word for it. Here's the official press release: https://bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2024-series-a

Moving to BlueSky is not an escape. Growing a base there is just putting in a bunch of work to create a platform that will be co-opted by crypto bros as soon as X breaks in half.
