Thank you to the DUers using BlueSky posts vs X

[mysteryowl]

X is garbage and owned by musk.

BlueSky is the land of liberals.

X - I have to do extra stuff to open the post, so I don't.

BlueSky I can view right away in the thread.

BlueSky is better.

1. Fuck Musk

2. I have never used X

Or Xitter. I do read BlueSky put have never posted. I don’t know if it’s better, but I don’t feel like I sold my soul by signing up.

3. I opened an account. I don't use it, but wow was it easy.

You have to give your DNA to sign-up for X or facebook etc.

BlueSky reminds me of the old days.

7. I actually had some trouble.

BlueSky activation code wasn’t getting to me, but more and more I think it was my ISP. I finally just used a different email and it worked. I never trusted the dark side one, even before the fascists bought it.

4. I will not rec or comment on any post with a link to Musk's website.

n/t

5. There are world leaders, newsmakers, organizations that only post of X.

I don't post their stuff here, but I don't blame others for doing it.

8. Progressive X posters argue that we should not let that venue become another Fox channel

I use many channels, but X is still the first place where progressive news and views appear on my feed. It is also the primary info channel for other interests in economics and labor market news.

BlueSky is not as quick to post the stuff that interests me. The feed feels more random.

Just a counterpoint...
