It took me more than FIVE YEARS to reach 180,000 followers on the other site — I’ve reached that on Bluesky in just ONE WEEK. I’m so grateful. The sense of community here is simply incredible! 💙

It's quite amazing. I mean seriously some of these bright beautiful thoughtful people I've had the chance to talk to makes me want to rent out a ballroom and throw a retro 80s cyndi lauper/pat benatar themed party.
Hi there, Mr. Cooper. You were one of the first people to follow me on Twitter, a long time ago! I said something you liked and you followed me. For the life of me, I can’t remember what it was; if I could, I’d repeat it now! See where this is going?👊🥰
And I am amazed that I’m already up to 358 followers. But more than the numbe, it’s the engagement. People are responding. I feel like I’m finding friends.
Heard. Just want like 2k so I’m not screaming to myself like I’m in my car. Also, I talk to myself too much - like in 3rd person 🤦🏻♀️

I agree, i find that about the big accounts, they're happy enough to get follows from our small accounts, but they only seem to follow back other big accounts 😞
I don't understand the goal to get 'big' accounts to follow back. I'm a nobody small account, and follow people who seem interesting and don't follow those who're not to my liking. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m happy with having less followers and more stellar quality followers! I did see a few crypto/weird accounts (‘Sugar Daddy’?) but nowhere near as many.
If you want followers, first add a little more to your bio so that people will know who you are. Be specific. Then, start following people yourself. Don’t wait for them to follow you. Most people here on Bsky are interested in following back (after vetting). Just a few tips. 😊
Thank you for the tips, but how do you even get likes? I have almost 400 followers, but I feel like my posts go into a void. I’ve seen almost identical content rack up hundreds of likes. It’s frustrating trying to find a foothold.
Took me from 2018 on my 2nd account to reach 8,000. Keeps going up & down never will I see 9,000.
You followed me on Twitter, (I refuse to call it anything else, lol).
I appreciated it.
Thanks, Jon.💙
I have been here almost a week and have yet to reach 100. On Twitter I had 5600 followers, and a number became regular friends. I would like to get a large enough group of followers that my experience will mean something.
I never had much interest in who followed me back.
Followed lots of accounts over the years on Shitter who never followed me back.
I've had people follow me who I didn't follow back, for various reasons......
SHOW US THE ETHICS REPORT ON MATT GAETZ. It's time to stand up people. Why do we have an ethics committee if they hide the truth? The first thing said in our constitution is We The People and it's time for we the people to stand up for our country. Call 1=202-225=7103 NOW.
Since moving over to Blue I'm at peace again.I didn't realize how much I allowed Twitter to creep into my spirit and keep me angry at all the BS,conspiracies name calling n nastiness from the Maga crowd and of course the owner himself. I'm grateful too for Blue. What a difference.
It took me 5 years on the other site to reach 4,000 followers. After a week here, I have less than 900 cherished followers.
Do YOU follow people back? Don’t be elitist folks. 😒
You're doing far better than most.
I joined Twitter Jan 2017 and did thousands of RESISTANCE tweets - despite being consistently demoted & shadowbanned, I did peak at about 8k followers.
I joined BlueSky 8.Nov & now have 58 followers,
so for me it's nice & civil but I'm still

I was permanently banned from Twitter after J6 because I tweeted that the 'crowds were chanting hang mike pence. ' I was at 5K followers and was banned for life. I worked for 5 years to get those followers and it hurt a lot. But I am here now with the hope that I won't get banned for this post.
I'm surprised that I'm less than 24 hours of signing up I have 130 followers but it's even nicer to know that I have found many of those I followed on the other side. And that includes you
My followers topped at around 1700. Then I noticed when I looked at some posts I couldn't access them because I blocked them... Yeah. No. I didn't. Feels so right here, doesn't it?
It has taken me 2 days to amass nearly 3/4 of the followers I have on FB, which I have been on for about 15 years.

I had over 6K followers over there. It's going to be an uphill climb. 😂
I must be doing something wrong.
Congratulations, Jon!

Just kidding. Congrats.
Love your work.
Blockity block block.
It's this sense of community that will get us through what's coming. We will remain strong, supportive, and resist.
What say you, Jon, been following you for a long time? 😊
