MoCo BOE abandons twitter. They are NOT political?

[Anonymous]

“Abandons.” Are you always this absurdly melodramatic, or only on DCUM?

If they hadn't announced it, OP would have complained about politics and lack of transparency.

So instead they announced it, and OP complained about politics and lack of transparency.

OP here and I think they should post on both. The goal should be to reach the greatest amount of people, not less. Their twitter page has 10,000 followers. Bluesky has 25.

That will change. As you already know, but are choosing to be disingenuous.

The Montgomery County Board of Education will no longer post on X, formerly Twitter. We encourage you to follow us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Facebook. Thank you.

That's one way to NOT be transparent. The goal of the BOE should be to reach the greatest amount of people. Instead, they are throwing some type of political temper trantrum. If anyone doubts that the BOE isn't political, I have news for you.

Most legitimate organizations have quit X. It’s a cesspool. That is not a political move.

BOE is an elected position btw, by definition it’s political.

It’s odd that you believe X is still relevant.

It is objectively weird to pretend X is not extremely relevant. I dislike Musk but I am not delusional about the relevancy of X. If anything, the influence is growing.

Nope. The exact opposite, and by far. You need better news sources.

Bless your heart. It’s the opposite. Its influence has been waning for more than a year. It’s essentially unusable, unreliable and irrelevant today.

The BOE heard otherwise in just a short time since their silly decision. How you like them apples?

I’m so embarrassed for you.

You’re the one in the sealed bubble, my friend.

Bingo. Would expect nothing less from this county.
Diversity of everything is excellent, other than thought.

I don't blame them. No one turns to twitter for legit info anymore. Technically I have an account, and in theory I'm following MCPS through it, but I never logon.

Video explaining the BOE's idea to move to BlueSky instead of X on a video.

They completely contradict themselves here.

DP. No, the PP was correct about Xitter being essentially unusable, unreliable, and irrelevant. The BoE is unfortunately just not all that great at leadership.

Yeah man. And Kamala was going to win Iowa by 9 points. Any other mindless lib talking points you wish to toss out there?

(see the PP's post in case anyone was wondering what Xitter is like these days and why the BoE might have wanted to get off it)

Or, the folks wondering could just, I don’t know, actually go to the BOE’s X page and see for themselves the horror that it represents. Oh wait, 99% of their posts don’t have any comments or responses at all and those that do are nearly all civil and polite.

Assuming the folks have a Xitter account, because otherwise they can't see it. And then they will also see that the BoE's tweets also don't even have any views. And then they will wonder what is the point of BoE posting on Xitter.

Twitter, which used to be a neutral platform, has itself become highly political.

Ummm… Mark Zuckerburg’s contributions of millions to the Democrats and political targeting of posters based on Biden administration recommendations??? Enmeshed? Yes.

You need to update your talking points.

You really have a penchant for right wing talking points and movie quotes.

Do you ever have any original thoughts of your own? Ever?

More corruption from that ice queen Silvestre. When is her term up? Need to get her out ASAP.
