    I thought the Great Exodus from xitter was a matter of critical mass not yet being attained. Enough readers have to be elsewhere to get journalists elsewhere.

    No, I think it’s just lazy journalists not learning new tools like Bluesky.

      The only news in that story was that someone tweeted something. That is lazy. They were successful in stealing the clicks from the actual reporter.

      Here is the thing. As of last week, Elon marks news that makes Trump look bad as spam (see NPR’s coverage of the Arlington Cemetery debacle).

      So now the news stories not marked as spam are the news stories that are “Elon Approved”.

      Why are any self respecting journalists still on Twitter hoping to publish things that Elon deems not to be spam.
