Somebody tell the sports accounts to move to Bluesky. The only thing I miss being off X.

they're starting to get into it:
Follow us on Bluesky!
We here at Brew Crew Ball are capitalizing on the latest social media moment, because more social media outlets is probably the answer to the world’s problems! In any case, a lot of the former Baseball Twitter has migrated over to Bluesky, so you can find the Brew Crew Ball account at this link.

and this, below, was from a week ago:
Sports media makes move to Bluesky
“The current owner of Twitter’s politics aside, his role in the recent election aside, the ways he has changed the platform aside, I think Twitter peaked probably 5-10 years ago, period,” The Athletic’s Howard Beck said on the Sports Media with Richard Deitsch podcast this week.

Beck has been on Bluesky for a while but was part of that app’s welcoming committee this week, especially for the many of his fellow sports media members who finally showed up.

Those new arrivals run the gamut, from ESPN’s Mina Kimes, Sarah Spain, and Benjamin Solak to Meadowlark Media’s Pablo Torre to FS1’s Rachel Nichols to The Athletic’s Nate Tice to The Ringer’s Danny Kelly. The sports media influx seemed to touch every major sports outlet and organization.

“some snowflakes didn’t like constantly being bombarded with all of those valid right-wing concerns about the economy, and taxes, and what kind of genitals everyone should be allowed to have.

So they ran to Bluesky. And I followed them, because while I’m perfectly happy on W, I also wanted to go where everyone else is, and where no one posts photos of my front door with the caption “she’s gotta come out sometime” because I didn’t like the firstJoker movie.

So imagine my surprise when instead of welcoming me with open arms and the thousands of new followers I was expecting, Bluesky shunned me.

Why? Because I have some opinions they disagree with. And instead of respecting my inalienable right to be debated, they just… blocked me. “

Lol from the Beaverton

meanwhile, in bezos land:


https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/tech...1&cvid=7bd0e09be24548cd999d32939e46dded&ei=45

the issue with alternate sites people want to use is team-trump lacking total control of the messaging; this is why musk may still decide to buy up media/news outlets, as much from spite anything else. It wouldn't be the first time gov't affiliated rich people have done it: buy out a formerly 'hostile' outlet and 'remake' it to deliver a message more in keeping with what the gov't demands. If not in America, it's certainly happened elsewhere. With someone like musk, so obscenely rich and a mindset as petty as trump's, it's not out of the question. Just like he made a 'light-hearted' inquiry about the cost of buying Twitter, his 'joke' about msnbc may or may not go somewhere. It's an idea in his head, and it may turn out to be a different outlet that suits his desires later on but I don't think we can dismiss his avaricious/spiteful/trump propaganda machine nature. Of course, he may yet have that huge blowout with trump since trump's getting pissed he's getting 'outshone' by musk. Then we might see him STILL purchase a media company JUST to knock trump's every move. What a pair of disgusting people.

Partisan ideologue Byron York pontificating on "balance" is the weirdest hot take I've seen this week. 🧐

Twitter's algorithm serves up non-stop "You must obey" authoritarianism on a daily basis.

Bluesky does not, it has no algorithm. You have 100% control over your feed...plus no Elonia!

Hell, even THREADS has seen the light and now suddenly (after years of saying "it can't be done") has tweaked their algorithm away from the lucrative 100% clickbait-y posts to, you know, people following friends and folks they actually know.

Bluesky user count today 22.7 million users as of noon. Adding one new user every 2 seconds.

Now Tik Tok needs to be sold to a U.S. based company or banned.

The only reason Congress is insisting on US control of TikTok is because that is the only way AIPAC can exert any sort of influence or control over content via the US Congress.

AIPAC did a superb job restricting information about Israeli retaliation in Gaza post 10/7/23, they managed to effective throttle Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Threads.

They'd have literally gotten away with murder if it hadn't been for those meddlesome kids on TikTok with their on-the-ground video from Gaza.

AIPAC exerts zero control over China and that's a gaping hole in their propaganda web.

X lets me see posts from people I follow and not see posts by people I don’t follow.

Damn, Rob, the IBS (Israeli Butthurt Syndrome) is strong with you…

Newsflash:

The Arabs / Muslims have their own propaganda / genocide agenda that capitalizes on America’s freedom of the press and the first amendment. (Though none of that has much to do with Tik Tok being a CHINESE threat to U.S. national security and social tranquility.)

Side note:

All things being equal, I (being secular / atheist) prefer the Israelis / Judaism over Arabs / radical Islam and MAGAts / Christofascism if it comes down to having to choose - which it has.

Israelis aren’t perfect", but they ARE better than the alternative, imho. Good enough, in this situation. (Perfect is the enemy of good enough?)

At some point, if enough people sign up, national governments in the EU might find a “trace of Bluesky”

“All platforms in the EU even the smallest ones which are below the threshold, which is the case for Bluesky,  have to have a dedicated page on their website where it says how many user numbers they have in the EU and where they are legally established. This is not the case for Bluesky as of today,” the spokesperson said.

He also stated that since Bluesky falls below the threshold and is not classified as a Very Large Platform under the EU's Digital Services Act, the commission has not yet reached out to the company. Instead, it has contacted the 27 national governments to check "if they can find any trace of Bluesky."

It’s weird that BabyBoo is so agitated by the existence of an app.

BabyBoo doesn’t believe in competition or freedom of choice.
 
TikTok is a Chinese app, which is banned in China.

Fox 'News' was fined an immense number of dollars for lying to Americans. Fox is banned in the UK for lying.

'Truth' Social is a vanity platform owned by a liar, operated by a cattle farmer. Its value is absurdly high, classed as a 'meme stock' and will collapse probably before Ex. The fact that the liar has already jumped back onto Ex means that his own platform is doomed. Without his lies to soak up, there is no reason for the cultists to stay there.

BlueSky can easily include a page with its user-numbers and place of registration. It might take five minutes to compile.
