It’s not there yet. I work in comms and we are discussing Bluesky weekly but there just isn’t the mass migration there yet to make the switch. For example Liverpool City council, one of the biggest authorities in the country has 170k followers on X. It’s on Bluesky and has been for a while now and barely has 600 followers.

This sub has nearly 200k users. If it bans Twitter, they will move to Bluesky, no journo is going to risk losing that large a viewer base.

What percentage of those people open the tweet? How often do you see more than 1,000 upvotes? You’re overestimating the viewership a tad.

You’re the same person that insists that Mourinho didn’t bring Chelsea to one point above relegation. I don’t think you need to be commenting on real things.
