            I am very grateful to @timothyjshaffer.bsky.social and SNF for creating the #SNFIthacaUD National Student Dialogue. It has had real positive impact at HCC, the first #CommunityCollege to participate. Students are eager to create a legacy of civic discourse here bc of what they experienced at UD.

βIf Bluesky turns out to be a long-term home for political conversation, it will be because, as also happened on early Twitter, the new arrivals create appealing new habits and norms, not just new content,β Clay Shirky writes in a guest essay.

            Iβm excited about a fresh start on a platform where it seems to be more of what Twitter used to be with smart takes and insights. 
Looking forward to connecting about #democracy and related topics.
