Leah Feiger: And in the studio with me is WIRED teller Vittoria Elliott. Hey, Tori.
Vittoria Elliott: Hey, Leah.
Leah Feiger: Guys, how are you doing? What social media platestablishs are you on right now?
Vittoria Elliott: A brutal ask if I’m genuine. I’m all in on Bluesky.
Leah Feiger: Yeah?
Vittoria Elliott: Oh yeah.
Leah Feiger: Okay.
Vittoria Elliott: I’m fair hanging out and people are chaseing me. It’s the lowest lift of any platestablish I’ve had to participate in in a while.
Leah Feiger: So you fair appreciate the attention?
Vittoria Elliott: I do fair appreciate the attention. I cherish getting little pings on my phone every day validating me.
Leah Feiger: It’s what Twitter engaged to be for so many people. David, you’re on Bluesky too, right?
David Gilbert: I certain am. I’m even chaseing you, Leah, finpartner.
Leah Feiger: I understand. I had to beg for it. It was distressting.
David Gilbert: I’m very busy though. I have lots of recent fagelessens to be vetting and verifying.
Leah Feiger: To participate to.
David Gilbert: Yeah.
Leah Feiger: So impolite. So what’s up? Do you guys appreciate it more than X right now? There’s fair been this massive exodus it experiences appreciate to me of not only journacatalogs, but left leaning people apass the board. What are the reasons why?
David Gilbert: For me at least it’s fair less triggering. It’s less harmful. It’s fair easier to be there for a while and scrolling and not be triggered by someslimg unreasonable that someone has shelp, which is what X had turned into recently. And I slimk I’m happier fair to spfinish time there. The participatement seems to be more authentic, genuine. Just conversations happening rather than fair people shouting all the time. And I don’t understand, it’s very timely days and I slimk it could potentipartner be repartner outstanding, but it could also potentipartner be horrible becaengage it’s the internet.
Leah Feiger: The CEO says that they’re obtaining appreciate a million engagers a day. That is a untamed stat.
Vittoria Elliott: Yeah. I unbenevolent, so I consent with David, the engager experience is fair better. I unbenevolent, even though it’s a little sluggisher in the load becaengage they are obtaining so many people so speedyly, it is a platestablish that you experience is summarizeed not to vacuum up all of your attention. So if you acunderstandledge appreciate with X, sometimes you’ll discover a repartner engaging post and then the website will auto load and then it’ll push you back up to the top, so you have to protect scrolling. And Bluesky doesn’t function that way. It experiences appreciate elderly social media where you’re appreciate, I’m here to see the slimgs I want to see, but this isn’t summarizeed in a way that originates me experience appreciate the ultimate goal is fair to originate me diswatch as much time on this website as possible.
