🧵 Wisten jullie dat Noord-Holland ooit is binnengevallen door de Russen? In 1799, samen met de Britten. Onlangs gaf ik een lezing over de parallellen met Oekraïne, in de kerk van Haringhuizen bij Schagen waar ik vroeger op school zat. Je kunt ‘m hier terugkijken:

Eens een test gedaan. Hetzelfde NRC krantenartikel op X en Bluesky gepost.

Bluesky: “bedankt voor je duiding”, een paar interessante vragen van volgers + een goede discussie.

X: “ik lees die krant niet maar hier is m’n mening”, “je bent een betaalde oorlogshitser”, “Oekraïne moet verdwijnen”

Even over Zuid-Korea. Je ziet nu voor het eerst dat je Twitter niet meer nodig hebt voor live nieuws, dat kan prima op BlueSky.

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.

There is no point in trolling if no one sees it.

User control over our feeds is great. Including the ability to fully hide from everyone, unwanted replies, and block those people.

If i hide a reply from a troll from everyone, no one sees it.

Moderation is great

Really helps engagement

Yeah, that's pretty realistic.

Article 5 does not call for total war. In case of war, NATO always has intended to push Russia to it's international border and push for a ceasefire.

So Russia doesn't really have a lot to lose if things go south.

Mensen - als je van dit platform een succes wilt maken, wees dan interactief. Like, repost, reageer en nodig anderen uit.

Er zijn hier minder mensen dan op X en als dat zo blijft dan zal dit platform het niet redden.

Maar door extra veel engagement kan het omslaan.

X has suppressed external links for a long time in its algorithm.
hard to exaggerate how nuts the engagement is on Bluesky compared to 𝕏. a vastly smaller user base (at least officially), but just look at these stats for one of the biggest newspapers on Earth. Musk has absolutely trashed the platform. folks, you are not locked in on 𝕏. not even a little.
