Contrast with yesterday when I logged into Twitter for the first time in ages, and the whole thing seemed to focused on attacking someone for posting a photo of their PhD thesis.
I came onto Bluesky an hour ago, and the first two things I saw were posts providing useful context for understanding the imposition of martial law in South Korea—the exact kind of thing that Twitter used to be so useful for in a developing crisis.
