For obvious reasons, users are leaving Twitter en masse and moving to its most prominent decentralized competitor, Bluesky. In this episode, we discuss why Bluesky now feels like the best of the original Twitter, full of live chat and useful features (like strict blocking and content filtering) for people discovering a new social network. And of course the lack of algorithmic feed helps. Also, we talk with Justin Hendrix of Tech Policy Press about how Elon Musk has become an important ally for the incoming Trump administration.
