Shift from X to Blue Sky

Political reporters are increasingly moving away from X, formerly known as Twitter, toward newer platforms like Blue Sky. This shift is influenced by a perception that X is becoming more ideologically extreme and less welcoming for centrist and left-leaning users. As a result, institutions and more moderate political figures may begin to explore establishing a presence on platforms like Blue Sky or Threads, although many remain hesitant due to risks associated with abandoning X, especially with right-leaning users still active there. The current atmosphere suggests that until more conservative figures migrate to these alternative platforms, X will likely remain the primary site for right-wing discourse.
