One downside to this platform… much harder to post mega threads of analysis beating up Man City Just put something out on X. I suspect Arsenal will be claiming way way over £100m against Man City once they’re found liable for the breaches. Liverpool and Man U too. Probably £100m max for Spurs.

May I +1 on this? Just finding out via LinkedIn that a lot of folks I read for business and non-City insight have departed X in the last week so I am ready to join up unless there are compelling reasons not to. Never going back to X.

It hasn’t got the numbers yet by any stretch, but it is refreshing to just see proper conversations.

How long it will last is anyone’s guess and how successful it will be is yet to be seen.

Twitter will turn its algorithm down until the next election cycle, but it does seem that there is a real migration this time, despite all the lunatics suggesting it’ll never work and it’ll be like Twitter in no time etc.

If bigger (non political) celebrities see that they can recreate their networks on BlueSky, Twitter will die.

It’s odd, but X had been getting more awful last 12-18 months but seems to have improved, for me anyway, in the last couple of months. The US election date was certainly irrelevant to what I’ve noticed. Both my feed more focussed on my interests and engagements much more active too.
Who knows, but it’s almost as if they’ve changed something or got concerned folk might depart…

They only need to turn it up to 11 near election periods. The rest can be calmer and reactionary to certain things that happen that can rile up the rabble.

It’ll be calmed down now.

I had the same thing happen after blocking hundreds of bots and trolls — and I mean hundreds. Wasn’t an awful experience. But I’m off because of the owner now and won’t return. It seems now after a search that many of my small number of favo(u)rite accounts have posts on Bluesky. Good enough for me.

Fair comment that and I know a lot who’ve done similar.

My “problem” I think is that, to put it in simple terms, a minority of accounts I follow have a political stance that most of the time or in some respects I don’t share. However, I’m still interested to read their posts sometimes. But what I don’t want are all their acolytes or loads more of that stuff coming my way. Which the algorithms can’t seem to cope with or do.

That is the crux of it for me.
I want to maintain that say 85%/15% balance, but it keeps feeding me more of the 15%

Or folk desperate for followers whoring themselves on a thread saying “follow me”. Fuck knows how this thread is in the main forum.

Anyroad so is twitter now for the right wing folk and blue sky for the left wing folk? Is that it? Nowt like a divided society fixing itself by nattering in an echo chamber.

No it isn't split left or right, anyone can join it and anyone can stay on twitter.

The diference is it is lime twitter pre musk so it isn't full of AI bullshit, ads, pornbots and american politics or stuff you never asked for.

If you want to engage left and right politics you can if you don't want to be bombarded with Yaxley-lenon fans or crackpot communists it won't be forced upon you like is happening.

Best thing is I have not read one 115 post by some idiot in chiswick, michigan or gambia or a shithawk journalist looking for clicks

Cheers for that mate. I don’t really do any of them platforms. I only click on links people post so it won’t change my life either way. Twitter is a cesspit for sure, most of social media is poison IMHO folk wanting to make a name for themselves to cash in on some “fame” or other. I do appreciate there are some good folk on there mind but it’s not usually worth the agro of trying to wade through the shit to find it.

Exactly that mate. There seems to be a bit of a post Nov 5 flounce going on. Everyone of that ilk will then end up on bluesky in an imaginary world they like better and where they all agree with each other. Twitter will become even less balanced too.
Instead of two frothing mobs howling at each other it'll be two separate echo chambers - a much more powerful tool for radicalisation and extremism.
