This is good - Chinese state media (and the govt's trolls and bots) started to find their way on Twitter, only for users to abandon the platform. Now they'll be heading for Bluesky, although the lack of an algorithm to game might make things more challenging
“Chinese state media has sunk considerable resources into Twitter, via unlabeled state-sponsored influencers, huge bot networks, the famous 50 cent army, … The Twitter bird, they thought, had finally been caged.”Then comes Bluesky. toosimple.substack.com/p/bluesky-ta...
