@@ericchild3363 That's not 'all I want', and my post neither said nor meant that, but I'm not responsible for your assumptions. Repeating my second phrase while ignoring its meaning as it relates to the first tells me you are not the type of person I have much interest in engaging with, you seem only interested in validating these assumptions rather that considering the opinion of someone else you (think) you disagree with. I prefer a site where I can have good faith discussions with people, whether I agree with them or not. I have no interest in arguing with trolls, giving oxygen to toxic haters and rage bots, and even less interest in any kind of person who has strong opinions but no experience, knowledge, or understanding of the opinions they are so vehemently defending. There is a huge difference between constructive engagement and the kind of response you yourself made to my comment. In other words, I'm delighted you seem to be happy with staying on X, while I have abandoned it for BlueSky, and I have no reason to want to convince you (or anyone else) that one is better than the other for you.

I have been in IT most of my life. I really admired Musk but since he took over Twitter, his actions have become abhorrent. Who in their right mind tells advertisers to go F*** themselves except for a petulant child throwing a tantrum. His lack of care for his staff plus embracing disinformation (Deliberate misinformation) have turned Twitter into a "Mad Max" compound. I feel utterly, utterly betrayed by him to the point that I will deliberately go out of my way to avoid any of his products & services. I didn't use Twitter that much but my account is now deleted and Blue Sky is my new home. This is not rational thinking but I do believe that others like me have already moved to BSky, leaving the dregs behind. I hope Danny Fortson realises that its about the quality of discourse not just the quantity. Only yesterday the European Federation of Journalists, representing 295,000 journalists, moved to BSky.

It seems bluesky usage is doubling about every month, which leaves just a few months before it surpasses threads and twitter.

"X" advertising revenues were down about 53% in 2023, and down about 5% in 2024 (est). Monthly Active Users (MAU) was flat going into 2024, but current MAU isn't known. The company is losing money and that will continue unless Musk steps aside or has a sudden realization that he's failing (almost zero chance). If fiscal trends continue at "X" and Truth Social, bankruptcy of one or both is likely which certainly be a positive sign that the Far Right movement is running out of gas.

After stating he was not getting involved in the 2024 election or donating to either candidate, Elon put his thumb on the scale, donated over $100M that helped to elect a man to power who is anti-electric car and who doesn't even acknowledge the threat of climate change. From my perspective, out of anger with the Democrats: * Elon bit off his nose to spite his face. I am done with Elon Musk, view him as dangerous, and will do nothing to enrich him any further. Since the election, we put a sell order in for the rest of our TSLA stock.

This Assessment is such a silly superficial treatment. It completely ignores the impact of overt manipulation of the algorithm, the complete failure to moderate dissemination of explicit falsehoods, and a failure to control armies of bots. These bot armies were often controlled by state actors with explicit political objectives. The objective measure of loss of quality advertisers should not be discounted. This type of journalism is a waste of time exactly like reporting breathlessly someone saying it’s not raining while standing under an umbrella in the rain.

I was never on Twitter. I used to read the tweets, but never joined. Eventually they stopped making it possible to read the tweets, unless you join. I am now in blue sky and I love it.

Bluesky is a happy little echo chamber. No wonder you people never understand broader society. It's why Trump won. Enjoy your fantasy land.

Like your interviewee, I’ve heard about people leaving and waited to see what would happen but I get nothing at all from Twitter (I use it so infrequently I never updated to X). Can’t stand Trump or MAGA nonsense, I used to like Elon but the more I learn about him, his values, his behaviour and now his political alignment, I decided to close my account due to lack of Trust that it’s a safe space to be.

Times radio should interview Renée DiResta and people should read her book. She's one of the social media researchers that were mentioned on this program. She understands the problems more deeply and has ideas to improve social media.

So why use twitter in the first place , just give your real friends your phone number . X is no different than twitter just harder to post child abuse on there now and much less chance of being removed from there just because governments do not like a comment .

Hey Elon, why don't you come over to the UK and witness the "tyranical police state"? I don't see a policeman from one week to the next - we live in a totally calm, peaceful and mutually supportive community. So stop pronouncing about things you know NOTHING about.

They also get accused of being left wing. Getting accused of being both is, at least to me, a sign they are striking the right balance.

People shouldn't go to social media for information. Therefore if you go to social media for social reasons you don't need to fear "misinformation".
@SerendipityChild8 күн бұрын
before it went rotten, I used Twitter to follow my local emergency services - this gave immediate bushfire warnings and updates (important in rural australia), storm and flood warnings, etc. I also followed the prime minister and heads of the more important government depantments. I found their updates much more informative than the news - which mentions only a small minority of what they are doing. besides that I had my hobbies and interests - comedians, science communicators, gamers, photographers, etc. It was a really nice cultivated space. I usually heard breaking nwes from twitter long before i came across it in othre media

There's a superb meme/cartoon of the beautiful & gentle Bluesky angel comforting a distraught, sobbing progressive guy and saying "There There! It'll be alright." 🤣 I left The Guardian and stopped voting Labour when they went-all in for identity politics, censorship, & Cancel Culture. I did NOT cry or post an insane meltdown video when I left.
