周四,纽约市长埃里克·亚当斯 (Eric Adams) 办公室命令所有市政府机构在BlueSky上建立账户。BlueSky 是一个和马斯克的 X 竞争的社交媒体平台,自当选总统川普当选以来,该平台的新用户数量显着增加。
BlueSky’s growth comes amid an exodus from X, formerly known as Twitter, amid concerns over far-right rhetoric and misinformation being amplified on the platform under Elon Musk’s ownership. Among those who have left X in recent days are The Guardian newspaper, Don Lemon and Jamie Lee Curtis.
BlueSky 的增长是在 X(以前称为 Twitter)大批用户流失之际,人们担心极右言论和错误信息在埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 旗下的平台上被放大。最近几天离开 X 的人包括《卫报》、唐·莱蒙 (Don Lemon) 和杰米·李·柯蒂斯 (Jamie Lee Curtis)。
But Adams’ office didn’t make any reference to there being a political reason behind Thursday’s move, and the city isn’t walking away from X at this time.
但亚当斯的办公室没有提及周四的举动背后有政治原因,而且该市目前也没有放弃 X。
The main purpose of the move for now is to “limit the amount of parody/misinformation” that could arise from people setting up spoof BlueSky accounts in the names of city agencies, Adams’ office wrote in a government-wide email, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Daily News. Adams’ office said in the message that agencies should set up their BlueSky accounts “as soon as possible,” but not start posting on them yet.
亚当斯办公室在一封政府范围内的电子邮件中写道,目前此举的主要目的是“限制人们以城市机构的名义建立欺骗性的蓝天账户而可能产生的模仿/错误信息的数量”。这是《纽约每日新闻》获得的。亚当斯的办公室在消息中表示,各机构应“尽快”设立 BlueSky 帐户,但尚未开始在其上发帖。
“We’re working out some logistical questions … before we begin using the platform,” read the email.
“在开始使用该平台之前,我们正在解决一些后勤问题,”电子邮件中写道。
“We’ll be back with more information,” the message added. “We’re figuring it out in real time, so I appreciate your patience as we work on it!”
“我们会回来提供更多信息,”该消息补充道。 “我们正在实时解决这个问题,所以我感谢您在我们工作过程中的耐心等待!”
Adams spokesmen didn’t immediately respond to emailed questions about whether the administration may eventually stop using X altogether.
亚当斯发言人没有立即回复通过电子邮件发送的有关政府是否最终可能完全停止使用 X 的问题。
A city government social media staffer, who spoke on condition his name and agency not be identified, said Thursday’s announcement came after a number of municipal employees had complained internally about staying on X in the wake of Trump’s election.
一位不愿透露姓名和机构的市政府社交媒体工作人员表示,周四的声明是在一些市政雇员在内部抱怨川普当选后留在 X 后发布的。
The day after Trump’s Nov. 5 election, more than 115,000 X users in the U.S. deactivated their accounts, the steepest one-day drop since Musk, a major Trump donor and surrogate, bought the platform in 2022.
川普 11 月 5 日大选后的第二天,超过 115,000 名美国 X 用户停用了自己的账户,这是自川普主要捐助者和代理人马斯克在 2022 年购买该平台以来的最大单日跌幅。
At the same time, BlueSky announced Tuesday it has welcomed more than 1 million new users since Trump’s election.
与此同时,BlueSky周二宣布自川普当选以来已迎来超过100万新用户。
The wave of X departures comes as Musk is expected to join Trump’s administration as co-chairman of a new federal entity called the Department of Government Efficiency.
X 离职浪潮发生之际,马斯克预计将加入川普政府,担任一个名为政府效率部的新联邦实体的联合主席。
Adams, a conservative Democrat who’s often at odds with members of his own party, praised Trump’s appointment of Musk on Wednesday.
亚当斯是一名保守派民主党人,经常与本党成员发生争执,他周三赞扬了川普对马斯克的任命。
“One of the people I think it was important to bring on board, some people may argue, is Elon Musk,” he said on PIX11. “We’re dealing with an antiquated government filled with bureaucracy, unwilling to make any changes.”
他在纽约当地电视台 PIX11 上表示:“有些人可能会说,我认为埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)是值得加入(川普内阁)的人之一。” “我们面对的是一个充满官僚主义的陈旧政府,不愿做出任何改变。”
