1. It's much more aesthetically pleasing.

A few times kids have picked up my phone and looked surprised before saying, "YOU go on X"thinking it's bad.
Fantastic piece BDD!!! I deactivated & deleted Twitter. Are you fully off yet? You were one of my first follows when I joined Twitter & you’re absolutely right about how the landscape there changed dramatically! It is an absolute shithole! So happy you’re here!💙
If we can get the sports world here as it was on Twitter, then this place will be fantastic. The play by play of random small market college sports was amazing on Twitter back when it wasn’t a toxic hellhole.
It feels that way for about a day, but, honestly, it passes. As careful as I was about who I followed, the nastiness, etc., showed up. I don’t miss that one bit!
It took me more than a week after the election. But going there was frustrating, so many magats gloating. I ripped it off like a bandaid. I am here, Threads, Insta, there’s Reddit, even FB. Enough information. Do it! Rip the 🩹!
The spam from Twitter is bleeding on to Bluesky now. I’m getting follows from accounts that have thousands they are following with 76 followers and 1 post. I’m back to blocking like I had to on Twitter.
Twitter is doing a fine job offing itself. It doesn't need any help from other apps when Musk is doing a fine job destroying it himself all on his own.
Great stack, you were right when you said Elon “turned Twitter into a toxic, uninhabitable social media landscape”. I dipped b4 the election - starting all over from scratch and happily so!
I'm new to Bluesky and I like the promise of an experience less impacted by bots and trolls, but what specifically does Bluesky do, or allow us to do, to combat the undesirable interactions? Won't they eventually just migrate from, or add to, the involvement on X and start doing the same on Bluesky?
It's not enough. We need to make sure everyone who voted for tRump ends up homeless without health care. They should suffer until the end of time for what they have done. I just checked in on Twitter® and one of the hillbillies said he wanted to shrink the government. Hate speech, in my opinion.🙁
Well, that doesn't work for me. My parents, my kids and many of my friends, unfortunately, voted for Trump. There has to be another way. They are brainwashed and they need help getting out of the cult.
I am of the opinion that we should show no mercy. They are going to Hell anyway, so let them get a little taste of it here on earth. I hate to say it, but they are damned for eternity.🙁
Thank god I'm an atheist and don't believe in that bs. We're here in the now and we need to make good use of the time we have. It's all about love and compassion.
I've been trying to encourage people to come here and it's nice to see the place growing. They wanted "those darn libs" gone? We're gone. They don't seem too happy about it, though.
It’s what Twitter used to be before the Great Pudding of a man The world least favorite Megalomaniac embraced his inner Wiley Coyote got his hands on it.
Hey BDD, we followed each other on Twitter, which I have since deleted! I feel like we are living in a f-ing nightmare! Oh, and I also bought your book! I would love a follow if you don’t mind.

I was one of your followers who totally gave up on reading comments after Musk surfaced…

I suggest you don’t. The most valuable thing you can give Elmo to sustain his hate site is content.
LMAO!!

Good to be amongst friends again!
Glad to connect with you here. I left X a few months ago.
Happy Holidays!!
