How could you possibly know the stance of the writer generally without even having read the first sentence?
- spiderice 3y agoPossibly because they are familiar with the writer
- mellosouls 3y agoI read the entire article, including the dismissal of X, the implied misleading message discussed, and the links at the bottom to the authors missives which have practically every platform except X. Less of the bumptious tone please.
- davisoneee 3y agoThey MAY have an X bias, but I think a much more generous interpretation is simply that they are highlighting which _alternative_ platforms BBC have given up on. Threads and Mastodon are both _alternative_ choices, with Twitter being the main real-time shortform source. TFA highlights that BBC is giving up on threads, but not on alternatives in general.
