Just another rakyat 🇲🇾So Brazil banned X and Brazilians are now on Bluesky. Then Taiwanese & sinophone liberals are mostly on Threads nowadays. Mastodon appears to be the most popular platform for those who escaped from tech Twitter. The days of one Twitter-like global town square are gone and won’t be coming back.

@rakyat the netizens of the city I moved to in May are also all now on BlueSky. So I’m finding myself using BlueSky for local stuff and Mastodon/Fedi for everything else.
@IPEdmonton Which city are you in if you don’t mind telling? For me, it’s pretty much Mastodon as my English account and Threads as my Chinese-language account.
@rakyat the city of Halifax in Canada. They had a tight-knit local Twitter that basically agreed to up and move en masse to BlueSky. A few resisted and came to Mastodon/Fedi but they rarely post here anymore.
@IPEdmonton Oh, that’s very interesting. What sparked the decision to move to Bluesky?
@rakyat I’m honestly not sure—I wasn’t living in the city then and also didn’t yet have a BlueSky account yet? I’m guessing that it was just a bunch of the community leaders taking the initiative and the rest eventually following suit.
@IPEdmonton Whatever the reason, that sounds like a really tight-knit community & I’m sure it’s a good place to be in!
