Oh no not my data!
I mean are those people really going to be using Twitter anyway?
It’s 2m now.
And plenty of them pick up English online
Bsky is more twitter like and less confusing than mastodon.
Bsky is federated too.
Just bridge them all together. Threads and nostr too. Then everyone can use what they want.
edit: seems this already exists. https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/09/openvibe-combines-mastodon-bluesky-and-nostr-into-one-social-app/
Use lists on bsky to find people.
And just gained a million people, biggest spike yet. So should be a bit more active.
Yeah it does. The main app didn’t yet last I checked but there were other apps that did.
Matrix 2.0 is pretty close.
Common goals too. They both want Jews to go to Israel.
I don’t forsee a situation where there’s no more Islamaphobia but still Antisemitism tbh.
Republicans. Of course the dems will win. Republicans haven’t won the popular vote in 20 years. Kids aren’t getting more conservative as they age anymore, their base is dying off and they accelerated it with covid denialism.
They’re cooked.
The right does not hate Jews anymore. I work in a right space and it’s amazing how they all became zionists overnight. You still get anti semites of course but they are fringe.
Tommy Robinson said he’d fight in a war for Israel and has strong connections to Israel. United over a common enemy.
They’re going to be in for a surprise when they realise they’ll never win another election in their current form.
He did last time too.
And people still deny it to this day.
Economic factors don’t correlate either. It’s tied directly to mentions in the media.

It also takes on more asylum seekers than any other council, and Scotland as a whole takes on more refugees per capita.
“However, across the whole of the UK, only 1,960 refugees were brought to Britain through the scheme during 2020 and 2021 – meaning Scotland’s share totalled 13 per cent, well above the population share of 8.15 per cent.”
“As of 11 July 2022 a total of 21,256 visas have been issued naming a Scottish sponsor – more than 20% of the UK total, and the highest number per head of population in the UK. Scotland is currently providing sanctuary for over 7,000 people, two-thirds of whom applied under the Scottish super sponsor scheme. This exceeds the 3,000 the Scottish Government committed to welcome when the scheme launched in March.”

Are there any studies on the Overton window and if it’s affects are real or more specifically relevant to leftist ideals?
Everything I’ve found on it indicates it’s a useful tool for shifting the political conversation towards more authoritarian rule but there is nothing in it being used to shift towards progressivism.
Application in Media and Leftist Governments: A study on leftist governments in Latin America examines how these regimes engage in media activism and discourse regulation, potentially shifting the Overton Window to accommodate progressive and populist policies. The research suggests that leftist governments actively work to influence public discourse, challenging the binary distinctions of populist and non-populist left, and highlights the role of institutional and structural constraints in shaping these efforts (Kitzberger, 2010).
Adversarial Co-Production: Recent research discusses breaking the Overton Window in the context of policy co-production in the UK, particularly in “left-behind” communities targeted for progressive policies like basic income. This study outlines how transformative policies, often seen as outside the Overton Window, can be brought into the realm of public acceptability through adversarial co-production, which involves engaging opponents of evidence-based policy to shift public opinion (Johnson et al., 2023).
