Now following you too!!

Thank you, @ericliptonnyt.bsky.social. Back at you.

Throttling is exactly my main criticism of Threads.

👍🏽👍👍🏾👍🏻👍🏼👍🏿

At least we can agree that oligarchs are the problem.

Happened to me! Docked for 6 days on X for speaking out against orange lard..claimed I violated " violence" rules! In no way was my comment any such thing! Gestapo on X is real!

It has been refreshing!

Wow these people really do have a keen eye for the obvious…

This will either shift most media to Bluesky, and Twitter will have to adjust how they're doing links or twitters attempt to keep the user from leaving the app

Any news agency that took a political side of the rapist cult leader Trump and his Project 2025 is not welcome here. They can stay with their beloved Elon Musk or «Truth» social.

Twitter is not beCOMING toxic. It has BEEN toxic.

It would be amazing if there were a paid journo subscription model to Bluesky which gave access to (&financially supported) the articles linked to this site that a user clicked on to read. So, rather than have several subscriptions to different publications, a user would be charged per article read.

Dumped my Twitter account yesterday.

This doesn't surprise me.

So has Instagram and threads. I will be leaving those soon. Can’t trust Zucky

Hi Eric. Left X

👍👍👍👍💯

Unlike Meta, it doesn't send you down a metadata and promotional chasm that you want no part of. As for X. Total Creep show.

Users are clearly ready for a freer, less restricted digital space. Decentralization is paving the way for fairer engagement. At Olas, we see this as a step forward for transparent and trustworthy systems.

That is why I don't like instagram. You can't share, You can't copy or pick a link to SEE the sources of information... I'd rather use facebook (if i have to choose among meta products). I AM loving @bsky.app

yes to this!

I got rid of Instagram and Threads. Keeping FB because I have relatives and friends I want to keep track of.

ELON MUSK IS A RUSSIAN AI ROBOT AND HE IS NOT FOR AMERICA HE IS FOR THE ILLEGAL MOOSE MIGRATIONS FROM CANADA. #ELONMUSKISAROBOT #AMERICAFIRST -MTG

Not true.

Elonia controls the content on X.

Imagine how Ɓ§ would soar if they expanded beyond a 300 character limit?

BLOG: It is social media musical chaurs. And for good reason. Platforms should not manipulate their clients, esp not in the service of the Far Right. www.jandehn.com/post/social-...

This reminds me of Hank Green’s latest video. He goes in on this issue. It convinced me.

. "Give me the media and I will give you a nation of swine." xxxxx Joseph Goebbels xxxxx #Bluesky . www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Kat Tenbarge, the person who wrote this article, is one of the most dishonest journalists I encountered on Twitter. A lot of these “journalists” sell their souls just to get a click. She’s extremely biased in her writing.

All that's left are Russian assets

Ashton Pittman is the best and everyone should follow him. @ashtonpittman.bsky.social

I do think the link throttling thing was one of the (many) turning points.

high following low follower low posts possible cheater. gaza asking for donation cheater too . Gaza is isolated infrastructure destroyed medical care free. where to buy food medicine and how on the net ? 27.12. them situation roads blocked. the cost of free speech www.unicef.org/emergencies/...

🎯👏👏👏🦋🟦🦋🏁🏁🏁

It’s more than links, I’m not sure what

That's because progressive thinking people know how to read and write.

Thank you journalists. I have not been on Twitter since Musk took over.

Where's Bari?

🇺🇸💙

Legitimate journalist should no longer be on X or what used to be Twitter

There should be no legitimate journalist that are still on that former Twitter platform

X pipl should be arrest and they opinion outlaw!

Now that you mention it, i wonder how bad truth social is plummeting now.

1000%! I think we started to realize that the screaming toddlers were NOT “offering a balanced viewpoint.”

Not shocking at all.

Here's some engagement. Please cancel your X account.

This is so true. Leon censors progressive voices. The man is truly evil

Twitter, aka X is a cesspool of inbred rednecks, and uneducated facists and racists. Good riddance!!!

Consuming themselves by their own voracious gluttony is an inevitability. I'm going to enjoy watching them burn.

Exactly We cannot fight for democracy on a platform that hates democracy. elon hates democracy

Blue Sky is my safe place

🤔 I wonder why Bluesky is out pacing tWITTER ?

Lib legacy media in the Sip

💙💙💙

I’m in Canada and well over a year Meta and our govt had an argument over $ paid to persons producing the intellectual property or something and Meta disallowed posting / sharing news stories. Throttling is an appropriate word. How did this affect US expats in Canada in Nov elxn?

The only thing I don't like about bluesky is it doesn't work well for group discussions like FB and MeWe... anyone here try MeWe?

In the South where the blues skies gleam, Pittman shared quite a festive dream. "Bluesky's the place, With engagement in space, While Twitter just stifles our stream!"

Well, I just looked up throttling. What shit is this? Elon seems to be needing macro instead of micro dosing. More drugs, Elon. Might chill you out.

I just hope it doesn't become another truth social

Because they can’t lie and deceive on X, their BS is challenged.

X is a shithole, that is owned and operated by a shithead…. Why would anyone stay on there?

I bet Elmo's scratching his head and thinking, 'how could they abandon me? I'm the BEST! My mom said so!' 🤣

Even the viral tweets on X now receive like 5k engagements and they appear to be from people whose follower count is way less than 10,000. Including bots and trolls.

amazing to discover this AFTER the election.

As a journalist I will be bringing our publication here. We had already quit x.

Because it’s the users who power the social media machine, and not the corporate throttlers. They need us more than we need them. Elon forgot that Twitter isn’t mandatory (like taxes). It’s merely a product to be consumed… or not.

the content you see depends entirely on who you follow, so go follow some better creators.

Please don't.

... makes it clear how badly we were being limited AND MANIPULATED ...

Sad how obvious it was that elon was heavily throttling opposing traffic for political purposes.

Journalist? Talking heads on tv are not journalists, but they are celebrity entertainment journalists! They stay on X for stories to exaggerate and upset us. People are tired of the angst they bring. Goodbye MSNBC and CNN. Hello Bluesky

Bring it on!

Valid points all around it seems. Fair enough. My apologies.

Just dropped in to block more #MAGATs... Oddly soothing, that...

Maybe they will stop normalizing, sane-washing, and obeying in advance now? We can only hope.

@ericliptonnyt.bsky.social I had 9.5k followers on X down from 12.5k followers. When I posted on X about my Bluesky account it received 39 views in 4 days. Crazy level of throttling.

And they like actual engagement instead of having their posts hidden!

The pansies need safe spaces and less patriots- hahahahaha

yeah, this platform is so much better than free speech

Funny. And Mush thought he could try to influence & dictate how people are going to think when he bought Twitter. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Come visit: www.mississippifreepress.org

The elites laughing at all of society right now as they cash in. Especially the Chinese bitch who owns this app. She was ready, just layin in the cut waiting for the Dems to lose… And yall didn’t let her down.

Nothing but Bluesky!

Journalists? The same ones who covered Trump and said nothing about Biden? No!

Check it out Eric... during the election run up - look at all the comments from GOPs, MAGAs, fact free schmucks to skew PO, not objectively inform! Ross Doubtit, terrible shit, and disingenuous dog whistle headlines... stil happening! This is what multitudes of critical thinkers know who left NYT!

NYTimes "journalists" who, do not OBJECTIVELY CREATE INFORMED PO, but follow the disingenuous owners who have allowed the Times to mislead, misrepresent & appeal to magas, do a hit job on Biden, not cover the VP, don't belong on Blsk. After hundreds of posts, I became too brutally truthful & banned

Dude. Your bosses at the NYT just participated directly in a Russian propaganda campaign to influence the most recent (perhaps last) US general election. I wouldn’t be doing any victory laps right now if I were in your seat.

Please consider posting gift article links for articles behind a paywall. Thank you.

So don’t bring the toxicity herr

AS users continue to join BLUESKY, diversity is going to be the problem that is going to be difficult to handle. Plus, when all the women arrive who want to sell their bodies, BLUESKY ain't gonna be so blue anymore...

Go to hell, Leon Skum.

Taiwan is bracing for a second Trump presidency and the uncertainty it could bring to its future. Interesting to see what Musk does. If the Chinese blame him for anything negative Trump does - $TSLA is in deep💩.

Twitter and Threads basically handed Bluesky the spotlight.

It’s refreshing, I’ve always liked to read honest and unbiased news.

TOFG= teed off frog guy?

It’s like a closed minded, intolerant circle jerk that lacks diversity!

Almost like they are colluding to rig elections, and spreading fake news like Trump colluded with Russia hoax

(Rewriting my previous): "Mainstream" is sometimes its own worst enemy. For all its pretenses of being "well reasoned", "balanced", etc: it's actually pretty dang random but only within a narrow range. E.g.: it seems "mainstream" can't conceive of a time of upheaval tho we're obviously in one.

Access totally out of control because they purposely rate limit accounts that they don't like and push accounts up that they want so I don't even know how they can call that fair compensation cuz people are not getting paid if they're not getting engagement

Will you do a piece when Bluesky user numbers overtake Truth Social? Or are the Truthers chary with their true user stats?

Awesome
