I logged into X for the first time in a while to see who was still posting there in my exercise physiology feed. So far, none of the ones I follow seem to be transitioning to BSky. Not even the Canadians!

I think in individual subfields there is probably still a network effect. People seem to put up test posts every so often to see if anyone is there and when they get no engagement they go back to X.

The local public radio station mentioned their presence on a bunch of social networks, but X was noticably absent.

>> noticably absent

I'm seeing that (or not seeing!) in the wedding sector, more and more.

As a trend it's less dramatic than the Tesla boycotts, but it's one more way to undercut Elon's influence. I hope it spreads.

Me too.  I absolutely avoid X links.
