Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

Summary

Journalists are increasingly abandoning X (formerly Twitter) for Bluesky, citing higher engagement and less toxicity. Since Elon Musk’s takeover of X, changes like deprioritizing external links and rising hate speech have alienated many, especially marginalized groups.

Bluesky, founded by Jack Dorsey, offers a more welcoming environment, especially for journalists and activists, with 20x the engagement in some cases.

Reporters note better traffic, reduced harassment, and a focus on diverse stories.

Organizations like The Guardian and fundraising groups also report greater success on Bluesky compared to X.

    Better summary: Biased journalists bitter their ideas don’t get traction where everyone isn’t holed up in an echo chamber so they blame racism and homophobia while migrating to a platform run by the same corrupt garbage, but its BLUE garbage.

    If you’re still federated you’re doing it wrong.
