"News influencers on X tend to be much more active than those on Bluesky.
83% of news influencers on X posted there four or more days per week, on average.
31% of news influencers with a Bluesky account posted on most days in early 2025."

"Bluesky shows higher level of content originality in scholarly discourse, perhaps due to a higher proportion of academic users. X tends to favor simple retweets. This positions Bluesky as a richer environment for substantive science communication."🧪

“Please listen to government sources and not these fools on Facebook.”

Officials in NL have had it with the disinformation spreading on social media about wildfires, which has now resulted in people harassing public servants. It’s hard to blame them. These platforms are a menace.

of course we do.

Thanks for the article. Using Qobuz for a while now, I have not seen issues with the library. It may have fewer lesser known artists, but their Jazz library is better than Spotify. And the sound quality is only rivaled by Tidal.

“Social media usage (in Canada) has rebounded notably since the COVID-19 era, driven largely by increased adoption of video-oriented platforms like YouTube and Instagram, while interest in X has steadily declined, especially among women,” socialmedialab.ca/2025/05/05/n...

Bon courage, il en reste juste 10.

Bon courage.

It could be the worst tv program I have ever watched for more than 10 minutes.

Yes. Exactly my thoughts

Jamais ne nous sommes nous autant enuyé de Vegas et sa Sphere

It took a little longer than I expected, but here we are...

ca fait du bien des nouvelles pas importantes ces jours-ci

Wow lol

The cover spread from a one page zine printout. The left (back cover) features images of a scale and gavel, with notes on First Amendment and filming rights, and the advice to “shut the fuck up.” On the right is the cover, a megaphone with the title text “PROTEST SAFELY.” Behind it are faceless protestors. The subtitle notes, “A brief collection of tips from around the internet.”

A spread from one page zine printout. On the left is an illustration of a protestor with the title “What to Wear,” including a helmet, goggles, ear plugs, gloves, a mask, a backpack, and layers/long sleeves/pants. Each have additional notes explaining their use. On the right is “What to Bring,” featuring illustrations of a backpack, money, water bottles, a mask, a granola bar and bag of trail mix, a first aid kit, folded shirt and pants, and an ID, with “DIY Defense” listed underneath it showing one protestor using a luggage case, one holding a trash can lid, and one using an open umbrella as a shield.

A spread from one page zine printout. On the left is “Protect Your Identity,” advising to cover up identifying features, avoiding photography of protesters, deactivating biometric phone-unlocking tools, and writing emergency contact and counsel numbers on your arm. On the right is “Be Like Water,” the motto of the 2019 Hong Kong protests, and the text “BEWARE THE BAIT” with images of a palette of bricks and a masked man holding a crowbar toward a protestor with a sign, “Psst, free crowbar?” encouraging the reader not to engage with traps and undercover agents.

A spread from one page zine printout featuring the hazards of protest opposition, including tear gas, rubber bullets, and LRAD sound cannons and flash bangs. Caution tape images accompany the text explaining the dangers of each, how to flush out eyes that have been maced/etc, and how to extinguish a gas canister with a traffic cone.

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️

What Are People Still Doing on X? Imagine if your favorite neighborhood bar turned into a Nazi hangout

"X is racist. The only thing up for debate is whether this is a feature or a bug for those in charge," writes Charlie Warzel.

J'ai rarement eu envie d'aller lire un projet de loi :)

moi non plus, aussi? Du journalisme c'est du journalisme, c'est pas la plateforme utilisée ou l'entité qui finance qui décide :)

en meme temps, dans beaucoup d'endroit dans le monde, ils fournissent les heures des sets de chaque band... avec la ponctualité, donnez moi des premieres parties... mais la ponctualité en premier lol

Let's bet that they would get a negative judgement on the rest of their work too lol.

In 2025, Facebook remains the most actively used social media platform in Canada, w/ 71% of users logging in daily. IG & YT are close behind, w/66% of their users engaging each day. These platforms continue to play a key role in the Canadian social media landscape. socialmedialab.ca/2025/05/05/n...

Here's a preview of a highlight from our upcoming "State of Social
Media in Canada 2025" (ETA 05/05/2025)

Highlight #6. X is the lone decliner: Account ownership slid from 40% to 37% since 2022 & is five points lower than its 2020 high, marking the first sustained retreat among the big platforms.

Les conservateurs ont quand même leurs meilleurs résultats depuis 1988. (Au vote populaire) Donc Dobes va sauver un match a sens unique?

Digital Public Infrastructure Could Make a Better Internet The approach has seen rapid uptake in the global south and may even challenge the existing geopolitical order.
