I will be leaving this platform in due course, as @bluesky and @joinmastodon become the communication infrastructure of the 21st century. futurism.com/half-million-us…

Hundreds of millions of dollars are being made on well-timed oil bets occurring just before Trump posts. But can we call it insider trading? @timothyjgraham @QUT theconversation.com/the-mark…

"It is regrettable but revealing that a perspective on U.S. foreign policy once confined to the margins of left-wing discourse is now more credible than the shopworn platitudes that senior U.S. officials rely on to defend their actions." - @stephenWalt foreignpolicy.com/2024/11/15…

Bound to happen
As Bluesky grows in popularity among real users, it likewise grows in popularity among those who operate fake accounts for myriad purposes. Here's an article about a network of fake Bluesky accounts with identical biographies. cc: @ZellaQuixote conspirator0.substack.com/p/…

Curious to see what people think

1/ X's algorithm was changed in mid-July 2024 to systematically boost Republican-leaning accounts and Elon Musk's own account following his endorsement of Donald Trump, according to a newly released computational study of engagement from the Queensland University of Technology.⬇️

The Washington Post obtained details about a $45 million plan run by Elon Musk's advisors to target Black, Jewish, Muslim voters and others with "misdirection" ads - often containing falsehoods about her positions washingtonpost.com/politics/…

Bluesky is giving me a feeling I haven’t felt in about 20 years. That the Internet is fun and awe inspiring

A lot of people facing a crisis of ethics at the moment. I’m curious to see what others think, if anything.

Twitter is dying. I have a blue sky. It is the same handle as my twitter handle. Things are different there.

Whether you are thinking of leaving this platform or just want to diversify your social media, now's a good time, because it's one of those moments when folks are signing up to other platforms and following others in large numbers. My other platforms: linktr.ee/andrewstroehlein

Wow, it’s too horrific even for Stephen King.
I'm leaving Twitter. Tried to stay, but the atmosphere has just become too toxic. Follow me on Threads, if you like.

Not leaving quite yet, but I’m finding my Bluesky feed less noisy and more enjoyable. @martinpotthast created a starter pack with some members of the IR community, which we hope it keeps growing! go.bsky.app/MXPJoTn

Big migration currently happening on Bluesky. It won’t be long until it’s on par with what Twitter used to be.

Can you believe it’s 2024 - Donald Trump is president again and Mike Tyson is fighting a YouTuber live on Netflix
