“The average American town has 2 stroads” factoid actually just statistical error
The average town has 0 stroads. Ashburn VA has 10,000 stroads and is an outlier and should not have been counted

Hopefully I've done this correctly in terms of the leaflet setup this time. Here's a first post in a series on T&S on Bluesky.

One happy realization over the past day of wins is that this site can be a place where political magic happens.
This comes as a shock to folks on other sites who say we are in a filter bubble.
Makes it all the more important that non-billionare controlled spaces exist. Media diversity matters.

Looks like X is juicing web visit numbers by opening a browser WebView in the background whether the user visits the link or not.
They've re-invented pop-under fraud (allegedly).

![Tell HN: X is opening any tweet link in a webview whether you press it or not

Just saw the CEO of Substack celebrating traffic from X/Twitter shooting up thinking they stopped suppressing tweets with links[0]. Actually, this traffic is because now any time you open a tweet with a link, the in-app webview loads in the background, and displays when you press the link.
I run an ecom store that gets a lot of its customers from Twitter. I was also shocked to see my traffic double or triple overnight and thought the algorithm had blessed me and my business. Soon realized what was actually happening. Thought other traffic-monitors might appreciate this explanation.
Meanwhile Nikita Bier is pretending they never suppressed tweets with links to begin with, offering the alternative explanation: "a common complaint is that posts with links tend to get lower reach. This is because the web browser covers the post and people forget to Like or Reply. So X doesn't get a clear signal whether the content is any good"[1]. A bit of a rewriting of history since Elon and his mom both tweeted about how it wasn't fair to use his platform to promote other links/platforms, even banning people who shared profiles of other social networks (including Paul Graham for a period). They suppressed all links shortly after.

This is a fun chart!
The green is the main bsky load balancer traffic throughput from Saturday night, and the purple is how much traffic there was 7 days before (the previous Saturday)
The spike is due to the world series - pretty incredible! ⚾

A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission)
Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.
