Are we sure it's not just boosting "fun" vs "boring" content? Mamdani's Bluesky presence is vibrant and interesting, while Cuomo's bluesky "skeets" make him appear to have a stick up his ass.

I don’t live in New York or the US for that matter. And I boost Mamdani content.

Because it is absolutely brilliant. Best political communicator I have seen for a very long time.

Who on tik tok wants to see pro Cuomo content. The algorithm is supposed to show people what they want right?

It seems like a weird race to highlight.

Lots of assertions. No data. Ho hum.
