What a great piece. I'll be adding this to my Xmas day playlist.

It's interesting to see some of the ways bluesky is already positioning itself differently in the market. It's exciting to see.

Brilliant Bluesky piece by @zoecrowther.bsky.social (who I'm taking credit for radicalising on this subject). They weigh in on echo chamber: "You don't change your mind by going to a public square with somebody else shouting their different opinion at you"
