18. When material is available on both Xitter and Blue Sky

When material is available on both Xitter and Blue Sky it makes sense to use the Blue Sky link. I have often seen Xitter links and gone to check if the Xitter poster is also on Blue Sky and have found that many are. Please use Blue Sky in such a case.

I continue to got to X/Twitter for several sources about Ukraine, but only if they are not on Blue Sky. I periodically check if they have moved off of X/Twitter.

The twits open directly. With Blue Sky one has to go there. question everything Mar 2025 #19
You can post a snaphot of a tweet that doesn't directly open, like this: Celerity Mar 2025 #46
And protesters are going to Tesla DaBronx Mar 2025 #38
Ok DaBronx Mar 2025 #20
To imply people here are Musk supporters simply because they disagree w/ you & your board policing is outrageous. Celerity Mar 2025 #34
Outrageous? DaBronx Mar 2025 #35
Of course it is an outrageous false smear. Just because a person posts X here or posts on X doesn't make them pro Musk. Celerity Mar 2025 #40
You are making a lot of assumptions DaBronx Mar 2025 #41
I am not 'making assumptions'. I am simply effectively using your own words against you in my pushback. Celerity Mar 2025 #43
We can agree to disagree DaBronx Mar 2025 #45
I'm with you. LudwigPastorius Mar 2025 #23
Twitter is about who you follow womanofthehills Mar 2025 #25
If you have an account and are active on it at all, you help Musk sell advertising and make money. LudwigPastorius Mar 2025 #27
I appreciate you. DaBronx Mar 2025 #36
