‘Morning Joe’: Bluesky Has a Real Chance Because ‘Elon Doesn’t Have His Thumb on the Scale’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "Threads versus Bluesky, and a lot of people are saying, 'I’m getting off of X.' You say they should stay in there and fight. Explain."

RUHLE: "Not necessarily fight. And I hear all the negativity about X. I don’t disagree. I don’t disagree that Elon Musk bought X and turned it into a, you know, the social media arm of the MAGA movement. We all sat there right in the middle of it during the campaign, possibly not realizing that we're sitting there like fat chickens just getting attacked all day and just being part of this MAGA messaging. However, the election is over. Everybody is getting smarter and better. I’m not sure that the right idea is to leave Twitter and just go to Bluesky, a friendlier place, because then we remain in our echo chambers. I don’t think that you should necessarily stay in Twitter every day and battle it out and let yourself doom-scroll with all the hate coming at you. But I want to see it. I want to read what’s happening there, right? And so I think at least staying in those spaces is important because I want to hear the other things happening."
