I get the argument that journalists still need to be on X/Threads, but boy is it refreshing to spend time on a platform whose leaders do not overtly hate you

Just read your article in NYT. The more journalists use blurb posts from Blue Sky instead of X and the more online news allows you to share directly to Blue Sky, the more they will not have to be on X!

I’d argue that journalists need to get off of X/Threads with expediency. The longer they remain, the longer non-sensical, bad faith arguments about what is reality will perpetuate. Just get off of the platform and let them argue amongst themselves until it completely implodes.

How is it "encouraging discourse" by assuming it can only happen on the platforms (Threads and X) that are ruled by the whims of two eccentric billionaires rather than on the platform that forthrightly wishes to empower the individual user? I find that befuddling?

Hi Kevin 👋🏼 Newbie (aka, newskie?) here. I just finished reading your Bluesky piece on NYT (Bluesky, Smiling at Me). It’s quite good. Happy to follow you. 🦋

Kevin, when you interviewed the doctor about ChatGPT diagnostic skills, you should have had him explain how doctors should use better prompting techniques. Also if they doubt GPT's diagnosis but don't fully reject it, they should consider what additional evidence is needed to confirm or reject.

I agree, but bluesky needs to become more robust to become the go-to place. Tonight I searched bluesky for info about a landslide closing part of Grizzly Peak in the Oakland/Berkeley hills. I found only one post. (X, which I cancelled, would have had a slew.)

Had a Twitter account going back to the days when you had to SMS in a tweet. Glory days introducing it into newsrooms, respectful & informed debate. Am finally leaning into BlueSky and it still has that 'new car smell' of old Twitter. May it remain.

Ohhh I remember texting twitter on my giant nokia webphone lol. Yeah I ditched that hellhole for good awhile ago. Briefly came back to bully magas during the election and shuttered my account the next day
