    But this is good because we are launching late and the election is VERY soon.

    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 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)

    Donation Deadline: October 30 Time remaining: 9 days 9 hours 21 minutes 12 seconds

    @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

    @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)

    @glyph Is there a feedback loop? Any idea if the downstream campaigns know what's going on or if it's even a drop in their bucket? Is it naive to consider that like, $2000 to a rural Iowa house race might be meaningful?

    @jay

    1. No, at least not to me. I think they might be vaguely aware they're in the slate.

    2. Yes, these local campaigns are often *tiny*, so small donations make a big difference.

    @jay in fact, re: 2, there's verbiage on the site about this, smaller campaigns make WAY more efficient use of money than bigger ones. Give to a big campaign and you're likely to get another network TV ad that 3/4 of viewers just ignore or tune out, give to a small campaign and you'll get 1 more canvasser out on the road physically talking to people in person
