Twitter became hostile to journalists, Threads never wanted them to begin with. Bluesky, though, is welcoming.
Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'
Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

Athens International Airport ALWAYS hand-checks my photographic film, no questions asked, and I appreciate them so much for this.

Five rolls were returned without a touch from the dreaded X-rays, so now let's see how London looks in 800 (Lomo and Tungsten), 100 cine b&w, and 400 slide (exp. 2007).

Not having to write "G*za" in captions: refreshing
We want Bluesky to be a great home for journalists, publishers, and creators. Unlike other platforms, we don't de-promote your links. Post all the links you want — Bluesky is a lobby to the open web.
Traffic from Bluesky's @bsky.app to @theguardian.com is already 2x that of Threads

In its first week on the platform & with 300k followers, Bluesky traffic from @theguardian.com posts is already higher than it was from TwX in any week in 2024, where the account had 10.8m followers, but🧵

My gang, the mobile storytellers 👇 looking forward to reconnecting with the family on April '25 at MoJoFest ✊
My 2nd starter pack: a list of mobile journalism experts & creators: folks who use smartphones for storytelling in TV, vertical video, audio, and photography. I'd love to add #mojo experts outside Europe / UK / USA as they arrive on Bluesky, so pls tag folks I've missed. go.bsky.app/QqojGib

Quoted in this BlueSky vs X article (by the talented @elvirak.bsky.social), blabbing extensively about algorithms and news, journo communities on social media, news brands' social content strategies, and my happiness living in social echo chambers.

In Greek, but here if you want to chat about it 🙃

Just figuring out what labellers can do on BlueSky.

Happy to chat if anyone thinks of a use case in journalism or dataviz.

Labels are a way to categorize content and users on BlueSky. They are part of the moderation tools but they can be do lots of interesting things like foster community.
