With X’s AI proclaiming itself “MechaHitler”*, giving users advice on how to assault journalists and Elon Musk pledging he will make Grok better at spreading bigotry that evades public outcry, your organization may find Twitter…unappealing to say the least. And many of the progressives you seek to reach agree. They don’t want to hang out with MechaHitler either.

Now is the perfect time to get familiar with Bluesky. It's fast becoming a social media platform of choice that shares many of the same functions as Twitter, but does not host an AI spewing bigotry or an algorithm created to direct people who will hate your content to your posts to boost toxic engagement.

So join Netroots’ educational partner, New Media Mentors, for an essential Bluesky training next week:

Interactive live webinar: July 22–1-2:15pm ET

Drop-in office hours: July 23 & 24–1-2pm ET

I want nonprofits to make informed decisions about where and how to invest their time and social media budgets. For security reasons, I’m not suggesting organizations delete their entire Twitter accounts and there may be legitimate, strategic reasons for some to even continue posting there. But Netroots Nation’s Twitter account is dormant! We have fully migrated to Bluesky to meet our key audiences–progressive activists, leaders and journalists–where they are now. In fact, NPR fully migrated from Twitter with no impact on traffic. And Netroots Nation will be highly active on Bluesky during our conference!

In my webinar, learn what successful Bluesky content looks like, platform norms, community building, moving your following to Bluesky, how to integrate Bluesky into your workflow and more! Plus, many of the best practices I’ll share are strategies that work great on platforms like Threads too.

So register now and see you Tuesday at 1pm ET!
