City accounts on bluesky

Just so people are aware, the current Manchester City account on Bluesky isn't genuine. They started off ok but have now put posts out asking people to 'donate' and linking to a PayPal account.

Everyone here who is on the platform should report the account as misleading or misrepresenting. I have just done so.

Once big social accounts start moving I expect an avalanche and X collapsing.

But surely it'll never be massively popular if, it only caters for half the population as such?

I think you're underestimating how many people of all political persuasions just want a platform that doesn't promote extremist wankers and misinformation at every turn. Maybe one that has vaguely sensible user agreements and moderation designed to create a minimum level of civility. I don't know if Bluesky is that (I'm not joining, because it's a waste of time), but I know that when I was on Twitter, I was just as bored of all of the extremist twats on 'my side' who were being pushed in my direction.

Twitter was originally mostly that half of the population. It was people into current affairs and quality journalism. It became the place for breaking news. Then got massively popular.

It's possible nothing will be as popular and effective for news again as there are already established alternatives like mastodon and threads and Twitter has been hemorrhaging users since Musk took over. And more people are I to video shorts now that are on tick tock but also utube and Facebook.

But one thing is undeniable, Twitter is in massive decline. Its awful now and with big institutional accounts going its only getting worse.
