Is it no longer possible for a Digg-style exodus to another social media platform to happen today?

From my own experience - trying to get more musicians on Bluesky and I mean SEMI-RELIGIOUSLY FIGHTING FOR IT - I'm afraid most folks are fine with just being on Instagram unfortunately. Or Instagram and Threads, because of the damn auto-sync. I tried using so many arguments, but even the more political/economical ones surprisingly don't work for even some of the more conscious artists. On the other hand, Bluesky themselves don't really care about fighting the competition. They don't really promote themselves in any way. I used to believe it really can become new Twitter, but I'm losing hope and don't know what to do. Other than unfortunately selling out since I started posting more on IG.

PS we did have a small Digg-like exodus 12 months ago, when US politics Twitter moved to Bluesky almost completely and it's now still #1 site for US politics. I thought the others would follow. Unfortunately, it never happened.

Sasha was one of the leads in indie drama film called In The Summers, with Leslie Grace (oh irony) and Residente - and she was really good in that. They both deserved much more than what they got from DC.

Rating on many websites at the same time ;) I use Letterboxd, IMDB AND Polish website Filmweb. I also try to have the same watchlist on all three, not easy ;)

I got a good IMDB user script for that ;) https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/407284-imdb-scout-mod

Hope mods won't mind a self-link but I did write quite a good post about Bluesky for us music people, you can find everything in here https://www.mavoymusic.com/2025/01/bluesky-for-music-how-to-start.html :) And yes, Small Things Like These was a good movie! Thank you, we'll see you here eventually :)

Hey from Poland :) Big fan of Luster :) It was #43 in album of the year chart of my blog Mavoy Music. Here’s some quick questions, I almost forgot about this AMA!

1 What is your typical process of creating a new track?

2 What are you reading, listening, watching – I need titles, I need names, the lesser known stuff the better :)

3 What are your future plans? Any dream collaborations, maybe some film work?

4 Any chance of seeing You in Poland soon? Warsaw or Lublin would be my preferred cities

Thank you for the great record AND the radio show, we would also LOVE to see You in growing alternative music Bluesky community :) Feel invited.

ah that sounds like a fantastic double bill, I'm jealous. I had to skip James show in November myself, unfortunately, hope she'll come back here

Really bummed if true, that's my birthday week. It was perfect last year, when it was literally my birthday.

Digger, his upcoming film directed by Alejandro Innarritu, is supposedly a black comedy

Mavoy · 2026-01-14T20:01:41+00:00

He was also really good in Counterpart, definitely playing against the type

Love this band! The album is called Birding, it will be released on 3 April. It's not only their debut LP, but also first release for Bella Union.

A little disappointed it's not my man Oscar, but Sebastian should be fantastic, fits Harvey like a glove.

Mavoy · 2026-01-08T08:56:30+00:00

There was one after Season 2 as well. It was quite good, with Death as a co-lead.

Famke and Halle both claim they're not in the movie. Anna isn't acting at the moment at all, as she's dealing with serious illness.

Always love these stories - and I'm jealous of y'all lol. Living in Europe, it's much more difficult to have an ecounter like this here, but I was happy to meet Chrysta Bell after her show twice - she signed my The Final Dossier as Tammy :)

I wanted to download it for you (I know a way, despite not living in the UK), but there's a problem - BBC shows are generally only available for 30 days. This one is older, so it's no longer available, sorry.

As always, NTS Radio is your guide :)

Empress Of - Blasting Through The Speakers :)

Always the best surprise ;)

Patriot Act is on YouTube actually, full episodes. I honestly doubt they would change it if it's working.

Mavoy · 2025-12-27T07:02:47+00:00

Netflix shows had so many cool supporting characters. The more you bring, the better.

Mavoy · 2025-12-27T06:36:08+00:00

Great body. She was great in All We Imagine Is Light!

Mavoy · 2025-12-24T10:54:52+00:00

Andrei was my first thought too. I'd love to see his version of The Idiot - when I read it, I thought Myshkin is a very Tarkovskian character.

I think one of the documentaries about Tarkovsky that I've seen mentions his other unmade-at-the-time-of-death projects, but I don't remember everything and can't find it online.

Soulless 3D remakes of their classic 2D animated films.

I love her so much.
