The stream ran into technical issues, and the fight itself was slow and ponderous. But there was something else that kept me watching: all of the jokes flying on Bluesky. That kind of real-time social experience is a large part of what made X feel so vital back when it was still called Twitter ... having so many people posting in one place made it feel alive, an experience that Meta's Threads ... hasn't been able to replicate.
The Paul vs. Tyson match was actually a near-perfect confluence of events for Bluesky. The site has seen a surge of signups over the past week, including a number of defectors from X. ... So when I tuned in to the Netflix fight, I figured it was a good time to see how well Bluesky held up in terms of creating a second screen experience to follow along.
Prior to the main event, there was an actual good fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. ... It was when Serrano's trainer, Jordan Maldonado, uttered the hilarious line 'Katie is a beautiful person, but has an extremely huge head' that my feed really started to come alive.
