thats awesome, every once in a while I remember there was a Lovecraftian dril account out there that just disappeared

yeah Rufo has been pretty successful in astroturfing at least, a lot of the anti-CRT/DEI/"Wokeness" stuff comes from him, it's not like these are issues conservatives really care about or can even define

Well, they definitionally care about them? It's being able to name them (even if the definitions are wavy) that he's done the work on - so 35 states can pass anti-CRT measures, but they can be applied on a "you know if it you see it" basis - even worse than CRT is CRT that's denying it's CRT!

meanwhile elsewhere 😔

this email subject just in: "A New Chapter Begins: Post News Users Are Migrating to Spoutible"

lol
I saw a couple new bluesky users with “coming here from Post, nice to see you!” as their first skeet and laughed

trying to DM a support account for a company and it turns out i can't unless i upgrade to twitter premium - very sad lol

what's the deal now, you have to be mutuals to DM? explains all the funny things where people are posting complaints a lot and tagging brands until they follow back to get a support ticket going

Good thread going against claims that social media has done that much damage in our politics.

Basically did little to nothing. More evidence social media has been overhyped as a cause of our political dysfunction. https://t.co/rn4ncBnl2X pic.twitter.com/U9wvnuGR2G

I was in that study! They paid me not to use stuff. Good times.

I also don't think the timeframe of the study was that useful. If you weren't already in the bag for one candidate five weeks before the election, you probably weren't going to be swayed.

Does anybody use Telegram? in terms of breaking news etc. which Twitter feels less and less useful for
