Are they holding out for aligning with closer EU ties in a potential second term, I wonder?

A coalition with the Lib Dems looks a big possibility, and could that be on of their red lines?

Yus pls

Hey mate, would appreciate a follow! Trying to build my West Ham feed slowly but surely 😂

Can we discuss the Pan European Custom Union that’s been discussed at Davos, but rejected by ministers?

I’d be keen to get other people’s experiences and thoughts on the move. How is it going for you?

Let’s talk!

Reflecting on my time on Twitter/X has made me realise what made it special in the first place.

My hope is that @bsky.app can replicate that experience, particularly how it felt in the early years.

My inclination, is that this is certainly possible.

4) Professional networking 🟰

Unfortunately, X is still useful for this, but more and more people in theatre (who are predominantly liberally-minded) are leaving the platform.

As years go by, less and less networking opportunities will be available there.

3) News and updates 🟰

Other services aren’t quite on the level as X for staying up-to-date on news.

It’s hard to move on from this, while so many individuals still use it as their predominant news outlet. But more users are flocking to other sites, and this may not be the case in 2-3 years

2) Social, nostalgic, and friendly space ❌

The flooding in of bots and I restriction of hate speech means that interactions are often negative.
January 23, 2025 at 10:05 AM
Since then, it’s been apparent that X has removed most of what made that site special in the first place.

1) Personalised feeds ❌

Since then, extreme accounts and views have been boosted, meaning that content is pushed at you, regardless of whether you don’t want to see it.

All of this, was able to be moderated through personalising your feeds, and through muting and blocking content that was distasteful.

It was my experience. That was what was special. My feed was different from anyone else’s, and I had freedom to use it as I chose.
January 23, 2025 at 10:02 AM
In that way, it’s become extremely personal to me. In both a nostalgic, social, and professional sense.

As time went past, it became useful to promote yourself, network, and to find opportunities as a freelancer.

The Covid-19 pandemic emphasised this. It provided many theatre freelancers with news about financial support, and job opportunities that you just couldn’t find elsewhere.

I found that my main purpose was to find out the latest news for various sports outlets. Suddenly, instant reactions to events were at my finger tips, and I felt like I was at the centre of the universe.

Twitter in its hay day was a small, ultra-personalised, closed-knit community. It was (mostly) respectful, well-moderated, and rewarding for making new connections, and staying up-to-date…
