BlueSky is completely separate from Twitter. And as for TikTok, a social media scientist's concerns aren't really for their own personal privacy or the integrity of the web, but for reaching the largest audience they can.

Love it or hate it, TikTok is one of the largest audiences out there, period.

While I know they’re separate companies, I had thought that Twitter posts could show up on BlueSky. Therefore, Musk could turn off compatibility at any time, which is where the “whims” bit came in.

Is that inaccurate? Am I remembering wrong? I’d appreciate any correction if I’m saying something that isn’t true.

Yeah that’s wrong, twitter posts don’t show up in Bluesky at all. Completely separate network

Okay. Whoops. Thanks!
