For obvious reasons campaigns are much more able to use money before the absolute last minute. Deadline for the Florida candidate is 10/30 (and I think that's the last one) but sooner is better than later. Hopefully we can get some kind of countdown onto the site to make the urgency clearer

I don't have enough tracking to determine which donations came from where, but just based on timing, it seems like LinkedIn showed up for well less than 1/4 of what Fedi did. continue to put them to shame, please: we're just a bit over $25k now https://superswingdistricts.org/2026/
also if you're seeing this through the bridge on Bluesky but you're not donating then you are proving the inferiority of atproto as a network
we've got a countdown on the website now too, so you can see how little time is left (IT IS VERY LITTLE TIME)
@glyph I've been working on a campaign since February and OMG we could have used funding back then! Better late than never, but even better earlier!
@djmitche yeah we are extremely late to the game already but a bit of a boost in the waning days can still matter quite a lot
@glyph indeed, thanks! (Even though my campaign isn't on the list)
@djmitche what's the campaign?
@glyph sarahfornysenate.com. We are going to flip this district in upstate NY and put an absolutely awesome person in the state senate!
@glyph part of this is probably the algorithm vs no algorithm difference 😅
@phildini LinkedIn has documentation on how it directly suppresses political content so I am sure that's a big part of it. Not sure what the deal with bsky is. The vibe is … very different over there.
@phildini one of the reasons I cross-posted back over here was to explicitly juice the algorithm for whatever it was worth. It got a _few_ more impressions, but, overall: oof
@glyph @phildini FWIW I was not even following your bridged account that posted about it.
(and also you have like 20x the followers on Mastodon that you do over there, probably because the Venn diagram of “wants to follow Glyph” and “prefers Mastodon” is not quite a circle but is kinda getting there)
@ubernostrum @phildini can't even get followers on bluesky any more, because of woke (sorry/not sorry)
