Trump’s victory is like the “Philippinization of America,” says Filipina journalist & Nobel Peace Prize recipient @mariaressa.bsky.social. She sees similarities between Trump and the Philippines’ ex-president Rodrigo Duterte.
Her advice? “Hold the line.” #Velshi

“Hold the line”: Nobel laureate says Americans should learn from the Philippines’ experience
Donald Trump’s conduct is straight out of the same strongman playbook that others have used, and his presidential victory is part of a recent global trend of illiberal leaders being elected democratic...

Yes, this (and more!) is why the 2024 US election cycle is closely watched by us in the Philippines…

We love links because we love the open web
It is so incredibly nice to have a social platform that values links again - a breath of fresh air in the poisoned ecosystem of the creator economy

Catching on news beyond our shores: in Norway where its government and the Norwegians seem to be more keen about social platform antecedents and effects and are rightfully proactive than America/ns and not embarrassed about it:

I think it’s getting more “challenging” to tweak one’s Tw profile.
Also, getting errors on links with “.bsky” in profile—have they filtered this now? They did once with Post News which, of course, has since stalled…

Even more curious is the date of their TOS update: 15 Nov 2024, and I can’t help but think the “exodus” of accounts—news, media, influencers or those spaces; ordinary accounts like myself—and to BSKY, made them do this. The new terms are also kind of stern to the point of being impolite IMO

It's interesting how none of the talk about whether people are "ceding ground" by leaving X, etc, seems to engage with how unsafe that environment is for some people. And I don't mean uncomfortable. A high level of visibility over there has long had a cost, and that cost kept getting higher.

The paid trolls are suddenly in d Bluesky space to throw human waste (& ketchup) on our walls.
No surprise if they also happen to b the paid Elon footsoldiers on his despicable platform, either as his listening tools or simply bring BSKY down w/ them #HeWishes
1 of them could even be Musk himself?x}

Now that they destroyed their own neighborhood, the Maga/Elon trolls are rolling in to BlueSky.
My recommendation is to block early, on the first offense, without explanation.
Here are my rules why I block them:

That said, I am not excited for a Bluesky version of “Larry King-Aston Kutcher” Tw followers competition that started the trash, stans and trolls on there, which was also when Tweeps were inundated by (and interacted with) bots…
I’m waiting for the great editorial designer Mario Garcia (Garcia media) to be on Bluesky…please.
