    Meaning like the rationalist / effective altruism guys? Would have thought they’d be prone to sticking with Musk

      The postrat folk. The deep value Silicon Valley folk. Core Techbro kind of people.

      Would have thought they’d be prone to sticking with Musk

      Ditto, but at the same time. Being with daddy Musk might be too traditional at this point. No idea the reasons, but you can to see a lot of this popping up in that circle on Twitter.

      TPOT → Bluesky is actually an interesting example of what looks like a successful transplantation… quasi-existential concerns about Elon Twitter, vibes have been off leading to big cascades of migration tend to happen after inciting incidents (eg twitter banning substack links being a canary in the coal mine)

      You know the “I sound super thoughtful” kind of stuff. Lots of praise from that Group on XTwitter/Bluesky.

        Interesting. As with any problematic group that makes the transition it’s a bit annoying to have to deal with them on the new platform, but they shouldn’t be banned and them moving is a great sign that bluesky has the juice.

          Yeah, something got in their crawl and Bluesky is on low key TPOT rising.

          Someone did a post on it, you can see the map that was done in the picture there with TPOT in blue.

          I don’t know why they started coalescing on Bluesky, but it is what it is. If they get annoying there, I know how to mute them. But as long as that doesn’t also herald the “free speech absolutists” that literally add zero value, I’m cool with TPOT heading to Bluesky.

          Besides, I’m more active on Fedi/Mastodon at this point than Threads/Bluesky so it’s not really a pressing thing for me. I mean shit, I wouldn’t have a problem with Musk’s network if he’d clamp down on the utter trash going on over there. Like it’s gotten to pure garbage, I haven’t the time to block everyone who pops into my feeds that how hard the algo there is pushing the trash.
