So the usual scenario where there's enough acts there to create a day that I would be happy to go for but with everything interspersed amongst the 3 days with a lot of acts I'm less arsed by, meaning I'm not so fussed.
Yeah but if police ask protesters to stay away from certain areas and protesters agree but then some break that...needs dealing with, right? Community relations..it is often nuanced and not easy...
I think it's an evolving conversation as much as anything given that Twitter's ownership situation has become more volatile and we don't necessarily know if anything comparable will take its place, or at least to the same ubiquity it achieved and to an extent still has. Although I'm finding that less useful since the change of name meaning its more fiddly to embed posts from Twitter on here, to the point where I can't be arsed.
The fact the music community is yet to move at the same pace is also a factor. I know Robert Smith of The Cure made a big show of quitting over the weekend, but it's a slower drift for others. I think it's easier for things like sport Reddits, given a lot of football, F1 and other sporting journalists already have BlueSky accounts just to hedge their bets.
Certainly, I'm aware it's tricky to say Twitter/X is now exclusively the preserve of the fascist community when there are still people there trying to fight the good fight. But it's certainly becoming a worse place to use in general given it feels buggier and where Elon's finger on the button is making more dubious stuff more visible. I have concerns other social media is also trying to cram similar such bollocks down people's throats, its just that its much more brazen in Elon's private play park.
I will say I still have an account but haven't posted in a few weeks. There's a work commitment that means I've had to use it, but I'm tempted to see if BlueSky can take its place when the next time I need it rolls around.
