Are liberals abandoning #BlueSky for #X?

That’s what the headline reads in this #NewYorker article which forces the reader to consume #NateSilver musings before approaching the headline subject

Alternative #SocialMedia such as BlueSky or #Mastodon has seen a decline in posting volume following an initial anti #Twitter surge

The big question is why many liberals remained or have chosen to return to X given #Musk toxicity. Is it simply the #NetworkEffect?

@mnutty now that Musk has fallen out with 47, X seems a lot friendlier for liberals. Lot more anti-47 posts since the rift. I still prefer Mastodon though.

@JonChevreau I’m sorry, but any perception of “friendliness” towards liberals on X is delusion. File this comment under the “friends don’t let friends” category. @mnutty
