(169 posts)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.

I have never been on twitter/X, but am not going to lecture or control those who are.

To imply people here are Musk supporters simply because they disagree w/ you & your board policing is outrageous.

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.

I am not 'making assumptions'. I am simply effectively using your own words against you in my pushback.

If you have an account and are active on it at all, you help Musk sell advertising and make money.
