BikePortland

We're back on X... Just to say that we aren't coming back and that we're on Bluesky Find BikePortland on Bluesky here ->>> bsky.app/profile/bikepo…

@MrJThatch the Trump interview really made me stop & think. I love debating folks who have different beliefs & worry Threads will be to much of an echo chamber, but I just could not stomach helping enrich a platform run by Musk. Especially the way he runs it.

ICYMI, I'm regrettably shutting down this account and will be using Threads to share our daily stories and other updates. Please find us @bikeportland over there. Of course our OG location at bikeportland.org is always available.

@MickeyMaoist I will consider but as a one-person operation it's extremely exhausting to push content to so many different platforms.

@BikePortland Please consider resuming posting on your bluesky if you're abandoning the elon app!

@MCQUADEMAZ I am open to coming back. My hunch is Musk will either get bored of it or kill it and walk away... so perhaps someone else will come along and resurrect it.

@BikePortland This is a bummer. I know you’ve been chewing on it for a while and have given it a lot of thought. Hope you come back.

@MickeyMaoist The BP Threads account is linked to the fediverse & while I'm not sure how that works I have heard it is cross posting to Mastodon now.

@pdx_gate lol you don't know me at all. not having people who disagree is one of the reasons I'm worried Threads won't be as good. I hate echo chambers.

@BikePortland yes its not like you want to engage with anyone who disagrees now run along to your echo chamber

@BadgerJust yes sorry. I hate having to do it but it feels like the time has come. Threads is tightly integrated with Instagram and hopefully you can give it a try. And the site will always be the heart of BP. Thanks!

@BikePortland If I’m reading this properly, you won’t post to Twitter any longer? I will read your website but I don’t know anyone who uses threads.

@swollen_tongue not sure i can do Mastodon at this time. I can only post to so many places! It's already overwhelming as it is as a one person news business.

@BikePortland Please post on Mastodon as well.

Have worked many years and hours to build a following on this platform only to have one dude come and ruin it. Seriously considering letting this account die and moving to Threads. If we go quiet soon on here, you'll know why.

Monday Roundup: Sideshow solution, concrete, cargo bikes, and more bikeportland.org/2024/08/12/mon…

@LukeBornheimer @sfstandard @NoahBaustin This is what I’ve been saying too bikeportland.org/2022/06/15/opi…

San Francisco and other cities could use sideshows as an opportunity to increase safety at intersections throughout their cities. Instead, they’re doing the bare minimum to (try to) deter sideshows. We need proactive and visionary leadership for our streets and transportation.

@RudySDOwens Thanks for letting me know. Have heard other reports as well.

@SusanDReynolds @SafeStreetRebel Because when someone says their personal safety is at risk I take that very seriously.

@BikePortland @SafeStreetRebel Your story was factual. Those were Adam’s words. So I don’t understand why you bowed down to a self-proclaimed bully and removed his name, then deleted your posts that reference him and the story.

Too late ⁦@BikePortland⁩ ⁦@SafeStreetRebel⁩ — screenshots and original story cached. Smart reporters always get the facts first. You thought it was cool to bully people at a Great Highway protest exercising their 1A rights. #StayTuned
