Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'

While I would love people to come over to mastodon (or mastodon adjacent) I personally think this is a step in the right direction. Having more fediverse adjacent platforms makes it easier for people to communicate in a much less platform specific conglomeration.

As much as I don’t believe bsky will be any different, and won’t join it myself, the momentum is there. Took a little longer than it should have but the tipping point is here and we should all relish in the bird’s passing.

I'm glad to see Twitter/X collapsing if only to add to Musk's problems, but at the same time just changing the corporate logo over the outhouse doesn't make it smell any better. It's a better place, but I'm sure it's temporary, the same people/bots/trolls will just migrate right along with the rest of them.

How many more times am I going to see this same title before X implodes?

To call hate speech and harassment "toxicity" downplays both issues.

"Journalists flock to yet another proprietary, commercial platform as the last becomes increasingly 'toxic' for reasons unknown."

People thought the first Trump presidency was a politically divided time, but maybe we're now entering an even more divided time, given that social media is now fragmenting along political lines, more prominently than it did before.

Hahaha, they're just now noticing? Rich.

And how will Bkuesky be any different? It won't.

journalists flocking to a site built on the backs of trans people and they'll still refuse to hire/interview trans people when talking about trans issues.

Yes yes, we heard that last week already.

According to CNN, X is the most ideologically balanced of the social media platforms (party affiliation stats are at 1:25).

I'm not saying that this makes X good, I'm saying it makes it interesting. Most social media sites lean left of center or very hard to the right, yet X seems to have found a balance. Or maybe it's in transition into being a far right platform, idk, but at least as of this moment, it's pretty balanced. Users are down, but it seems the current userbase is more balanced than it was.

That has little to do with whether X is "toxic," but I do think it's an interesting statistic to discuss.

I'll never understand liberals need to distance themselves from those who disagree with their opinions while simultaneously asking for their vote. You really need to engage and find common ground with those you disagree with to win their vote.
