I’m 30k followers away from ORGANICALLY having more followers here than on Threads. And it’s been one week.

AND Threads cheated the numbers by automatically adding Instagram followers.

Still trying to navigate the UI a bit more and migrate how I communicate on the other app on here. Not such about what I tweet but HOW I tweeted. It’s like an interesting ingratiation process.

Fridays on Xhitter I do a regular MEGATHREAD 🧵 and this week the topic is THE FUNK.

Eventually I hope to migrate fully to here but for now here it is unrolled on threadreader -

You jammy gets!

Well, I’ll never be asked to sing Christmas songs at the psych ward again

Apparently, “do you hear what I hear”, was the wrong choice?

New poll finds 53% of Britons support permanent exhibition on Britain’s role in slave trade at British Museum.

72% of respondents agreed that: “As a society, public education about the reality of the British empire is important in order for us to understand Britain’s multicultural society today”

The problem is that a lot within the industry are stuck in part 2 of their life. They can’t articulate one facet in part 3 which speaks to an infrastructure lens… it’s also largely because that part 3 of your life is very humbling. If you struggle with part 3 it’s quite telling

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you should aim to have more fans than industry at your events. There can be overlap, but you should be aiming to connect with people who have no vested interest other than they simply love what you do.

😂😂😂

Oh wow

Well, this is refreshing! My discover tab is filled with cats and funny people, not street fights or far right propaganda. I think I like it here 😊

I once was passionately berated on my diet and health by someone who had turned vegan but continued to smoke cigarettes… it was at that point I knew I was in the Twilight Zone.

I finished my chicken burger in silence.

Videos have to be less than 60 seconds?! 🫠😔😫

Houston!!… we have a problem

What’s the limit on video duration uploads on here?

😂 yeh looks like it. I’m trying to figure out what about this feels more user friendly than Threads.

I wonder what even is in place to prevent the radical elements of Twitter appearing on this app? Not completely sold that leaving an app is effective when you have a group persistent enough to follow but let’s give it a whirl 😬🤷🏾‍♂️

Government urges live sector to work on stadium and arena tickets levy to support grassroots venues The UK’s live music industry has today been urged by the government to join forces to help safeguard the future of the grassroots music sector. Read on for the full story…

This is good news. Will be interesting to see how it’s practically enacted but from what I’ve heard it follows the model in football where big clubs help to support grassroots- helping to ensure future players are nurtured. V v important for small clubs

What's making this transition easier is that the UI is the same as Twitter :)

The party is here!!!! 🥰

Blue skies on the horizon 🤞🏾
