NEW RESEARCH about Bluesky on Bluesky: pewrsr.ch/4mDKCrx - 43% of the news influencers we studied last year are now on Bluesky - but most are also on X (Twitter) - 69% of left-leaning influencers; 15% of right-leaning ones - rate of posting increased in 2025

Bluesky has caught on with many news influencers, but X remains popular

The share of news influencers in our sample with a Bluesky account roughly doubled in the four months after Election Day 2024, from 21% beforehand to 43% by March.

I always feel a little embarrassed when I’m in Brazil, and Brazilians switch to Spanish or Portuñol for me, but I can’t reply in Portuguese. Sometimes we even end up speaking English! Looks like I’ve got an early 2025 resolution. Time to commit to Duolingo.

New side project unlocked. Not so new, really. And not a pet project at all. Latines out there know this is a vecindad 💗 I just want one in the Colombian countryside with my friends who meditate. ⛰️🌴🌳🏡🏠🌳🌴⛰️
