I was curious to see how academic articles in (Political) Communication and Political Science are being shared on X vs. Bluesky.

I find: In 2024, academic articles in our field seem to be clearly more shared on X. But by 2025, Bluesky is catching up fast.

Although X engagement with new publications is still strong and of quality, there’s a large body of “reposting” activity that seems largely focussed on a certain body of work: vaccine scepticism, MMR, autism, ivermectin, etc.

"You have a person [Elon Musk] who is not sharing information with the objective of creating an accurate representation of the state of the world, but who is trying to mold the way his audience thinks such that it aligns with his core interests.

We know that's an example of information warfare."
