It’s been a long bat­tle to see what might replace Twit­ter for a lot of us. One option of course is X, Musk’s rebrand but it’s seen the biggest col­lapse of social media since Friend­ster. Threads looked promis­ing but it’s Face­book and its algo­rithms favor click­bait and pun­ish links, espe­cial­ly polit­i­cal ones. Bluesky seems to have final­ly past a thresh­old in the last week: it past the 15 mil­lion user mark on Wednes­day and is one of the top apps in the iPhone App Store.
