I'm surprised that there isn't a clearer online campaign for all non MAGA, Trump supporting persons to abandon Twitter and move to BlueSky, given the election results.
It seems that most of the major climate scientists have made the move, but there are a couple who are arguing that it shouldn't be abandoned and left to be a breeding ground for self supporting illusion.
And Noah Smith, and a couple of other people I like to read, don't seem interested in a move either.
For what it's worth, I think the move should be made - and the app deleted - because a forum that it left to become its own bog of increasingly detached Right wing opinion loses credibility, at least if Truth Social is any guide. And besides, Musk deserves to be punished for his pushing of conspiracy and fact free memes.
But probably like lots of people, I still want to read the output of those holdouts who either can't be bothered, or who think they are fighting the good fight where it needs to be fought (or whatever).
So I am still reading it, for some of the post election analysis (see last post), but I'm feeling guilty about it.
