Bluesky: An Echo Chamber -- November 23, 2024

Locator: 44399ECHO.

Link here.

Tweeters, members in millions:

  • X, Elon Musk: 600
  • Threads, META: 275
  • Bluesky: 22 (up from 13 million two weeks ago)

Bluesky is an echo chamber. But give the conservative base a chance to catch up. LOL.

  • I'm on both.
  • haven't seen any difference regarding how each site works;
  • but it appears they have quickly turned into:
    • Bluesky: liberals, progressives, unhinged
    • Twitters: free-for-all but where conservatives will be found
  • Bjorn Lomborg has not yet migrated to Bluesky; DeSmong News has (migrated to Bluesky)
    • but, like me, DeSmog is still on twitter
    • it appears Carl Q (CNBC) has quit twitter completely
  • check out Bjorn Lomborg on Bluesky.
  • it will be fascinating to see if Carl Q goes back to tweeting; otherwise he fades away. 
  • Bluesky: Barron's  here.
