about 80% of the videos I want to share can be on say a CNN story and when I copy and paste them, they are now X videos. I then delete them, go to You Tube and about 20 % of the time can repost from there but that is all.

PS. To anyone wanting to stay on Twitter because reasons, all the things & people you follow are on Bluesky also. FSogol Feb 2025 #1

No, they aren't. Not even close. And many who are favorites of DUers post on both sites. highplainsdem Feb 2025 #7

It changed after the election, but it has really picked up momentum after Jan 20 Bluetus Feb 2025 #37

Perhaps you should delete this. sheshe2 Feb 2025 #52

Are you on Bluesky? Bettie Feb 2025 #11

ALL of our elected officials communicate there, not to mention ALL of the major journalists bigtree Feb 2025 #4

All of my elected officials are on Bluesky too. n/t FSogol Feb 2025 #13

I take your point, but you can't find the same variety of posts which feature them, though bigtree Feb 2025 #18

Mine are not. Only about 1/2 of them LeftInTX Feb 2025 #53

Yes. That's why I still have an account. I rarely post. My last post was a tag to congress critters Ritchie Torres LeftInTX Feb 2025 #21

It's still a good source for short videos underpants Feb 2025 #5

Those same groups post the same videos on bluesky. n/t FSogol Feb 2025 #15

No, they don't. I check both both platforms a lot. Some groups do, with some shorter videos. highplainsdem Feb 2025 #17

It's a lot of work to post on two platforms. LeftInTX Feb 2025 #22

Ask them why they are not posting on Bluesky Bluetus Feb 2025 #38

Okay. nt Tommy Carcetti Feb 2025 #6

Do you really want to make it easier for there to be no push back on that platform? Passages Feb 2025 #9

It lets the Twitter-avoidant feel better about being Twitter-avoidant. highplainsdem Feb 2025 #12

I understand those who don't like it, but realize every elected Democrat is on there Passages Feb 2025 #26

If there is an elected Dem who is not posting everything on Bluesky, I question Bluetus Feb 2025 #39

Exactly.. I was a long holdout Cha Feb 2025 #46

Those who are making violent plans don't do it on Twitter Bluetus Feb 2025 #40

Every elected Democrat posts from there. Passages Feb 2025 #44

If they are not also posting on Bluesky, they are fools Bluetus Feb 2025 #45

That is your opinion, yes. It is not about one or the other, they are on both. Passages Feb 2025 #47

Then you're boycotting the messages of a lot of liberals and Democrats who post only or mostly on Twitter. highplainsdem Feb 2025 #10

He hasn't said that. Most of the prominent Trump and Musk critics are on Twitter as well as Bluesky. highplainsdem Feb 2025 #34
