this one?

Yes. They seem to have removed the PayPal links on the posts now, probably trying to sucker more people in before trying again. The other clue on there is that they have spelt stadium wrongly in the header.

Not long before most clubs and businesses make the switch, there is no engagement on X that is beneficial to them that can't be done elsewhere.

Just in the process of deleting my X posts, so thought I'd take a look at a couple of City posts this morning. Combined they had about 125 replies and I reckon maybe just the 1 post was a legitimate response and not a bot or for bait engagement.

People look at the blanket numbers and say Bluesky can't compete but actual human engagement per post is way higher. That's why journalists have had no issue making the switch. Less followers but way more interaction.

Even for advertisers. I was listening Richard Osman's podcast and one thing he brought up was that if you've got a mailing list of 9000 people, you are far more valuable to advertisers that someone who can get half a million people to view their website. You might find that advertisers are less likely to spend their money on the platforms these days and instead are going straight to the content creators themselves, because they have some credibility with their audiences.

And I can't imagine the genuine City account saying 'Northern Manchester' in their profile. At least not without a comma between them.

There is no such thing as free speech or freedom of speech in Britain.

Fancy getting away with saying such a thing

Isn’t it freedom of speech to post where you want?

Some might say that Bluesky has better freedom of speech as you aren’t marginalised by an algorithm or if you pay.

That’s before trying to work out if you are conversing with a human or a bot.

Careful, your country jails people who believe in free speech.

No, they don’t.
