I left X today.

carldownunder.bsky.social•151 days ago

It’s a sewage treatment plant

ournewhomecoach.bsky.social•151 days ago

A broken one.

carldownunder.bsky.social•151 days ago

I was thinking of the old Bondi outflow but didn’t think anyone would know that one

ournewhomecoach.bsky.social•151 days ago

Yep. The old Bondi cigars.

carldownunder.bsky.social•151 days ago

Eeew. Yeah that’s the one

jayjaybee52.bsky.social•151 days ago

eeeuuw...

castrogacio.bsky.social•151 days ago

Well they’ve lost the readership of a huge percentage of a socio/political sector of society. And it will only continue to go in that direction. It kind of gives us an inkling as to why Labour are so petrified of seeming to do a similar thing.

leemancapote.bsky.social•146 days ago

Blue Sky is the place for breaking news. Xitter is a study in fascists' psychology.

petemarchetto.bsky.social•150 days ago

Yes. Yes yes yes. Oh... and 'Yes'.

realsirlansalot.bsky.social•151 days ago

Esp. since there are viable alternatives available now.

necessaryevil.bsky.social•151 days ago

X is just Parler or Truth Social now. Nobody sane is still on it.

tlscott3.bsky.social•150 days ago

Done

ruralman.bsky.social•151 days ago

Once I saw how X [twitter] was going under musk I was off like a long dog, haven't touched it since.

rlesc1.bsky.social•151 days ago

People have walked away from Twitter, it's not relevant anymore.

reallynotserious.bsky.social•151 days ago

people literally only go to reddit and bluesky now. Reddit gives us the censorship that we require to get our narratives across. Without that we fail, but that's how we know that we are the good ones!

modicool.bsky.social•151 days ago

Sorry I'm not sure how censorship HELPS get narratives across?

reallynotserious.bsky.social•151 days ago

If you just ban/remove any post that disagrees with you, you automatically win and it looks better for anybody who is reading. When you are so correct, righteous and good like we are, you shouldn't even be allowed to be debated or questioned.

modicool.bsky.social•151 days ago

That's not healthy for society and it is why the leader of our party for decades said "we need a strong republican party." There is zero growth if your current mentality never changes, and it can't without dissent. That's why fascism, especially wielded by narcissists, will always fail.

rockstarserious.bsky.social•151 days ago

I am hearing that you don't tolerate any other view (or information) that is different to your current view or knowledge. Or you are 'having a laugh' and you don't mean what you say...

hairfuror1901.bsky.social•151 days ago

He's a Muskrat trying to be clever. Block 'em, Danno!

modicool.bsky.social•151 days ago

He's larping as a Democrat and trying to get a rise. As if any of us thought that way. It's easy to spot because we don't.

dgboro.bsky.social•151 days ago

Why have all the reform weirdos on X suddenly all got blue ticks. Is this Elon way of taking over.

Btw I doubt scrapping the NHS an actual reform policy will be that popular at the polls

zetkin.bsky.social•151 days ago

Agreed in many ways. I stay with X because there are gathered the people fighting for justice for leaseholders and people whose homes have inflammable cladding.

flutter8.bsky.social•151 days ago

Would love to begin seeing the @bsky.app icon on business pages. Marketing @support.bsky.team

optimite.bsky.social•150 days ago

Orgs & people need to remove the “X” option for sharing their content.

georgieyoda.bsky.social•151 days ago

Everybody should leave X

official-psasd.bsky.social•150 days ago

I already left Twitter/X couple of months ago

mrrobertbob.bsky.social•151 days ago

It’s why I and many others came onto BlueSky and deleted our Twitter accounts.

harryiwood.bsky.social•151 days ago

300,000+ European journalists will leave X on 20 Jan.

dudleydebeau.bsky.social•151 days ago

BBC (apart from @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social ) seem to be struggling with that one. Can’t for the life of me think why?

reallynotserious.bsky.social•151 days ago

We loved this when twitter was doing it on behalf of our beloved propagandists on TV. We don't like this though.

modicool.bsky.social•151 days ago

No we didn't.

reallynotserious.bsky.social•151 days ago

yes we did

faben456.bsky.social•151 days ago

Many said they are leaving in the next few months? European news companies was it i think?
I go back every now and then, its just filled with so many blue ticked bigots, it really is getting worse. Vile place.

phoenixleague.bsky.social•151 days ago

Indeed. But moderation on other forms of social media to catch up with relatives wouldn’t hurt either!

helenresists.bsky.social•146 days ago

More reporters are coming over here. I haven't decided whether that's a good thing.

prettyhatmachine.bsky.social•151 days ago

If Trade Unions stopped using X they’d transfer the audience elsewhere.

Musk is anti union and it is madness that:

@the-tuc.bsky.social
@cwunews.bsky.social
@unison.org.uk
@unitetheunion.bsky.social
@ucu.org.uk

are still providing him with free content and engagement.

Move on, move out.

modicool.bsky.social•151 days ago

Yes!!

harryeccles.bsky.social•151 days ago

The RCN moved away

prettyhatmachine.bsky.social•151 days ago

Hence I didn’t use them as an example 😁

However yes @rcn.org.uk do deserve credit for leading by their principles.

mjk4mj.bsky.social•151 days ago

If Hitler was reincarnated and bought Twitter, shitheads would still post on Twitter (and thus support Hitler). https://bsky.app/profile/jawbreaker0834.bsky.social/post/3ldr6mljypc2j
Putin murders honest journalists (see Navavlny).

hands1950.bsky.social•150 days ago

Stopped using Twitter some time ago, full of misinformation and idiots that believed it.

ivanasstaircam.bsky.social•151 days ago

I would rather see the public break its self-destructive dependency on the media in 2025.

mreddie8976.bsky.social•151 days ago

The media *could* start telling the truth, and informing the public about what's actually happening and what's at stake, instead of chasing the shiny objects that the orange felon tosses out to them.

Buy, more than likely, they won't

They've been failing the country for almost 10 years now

clearlakedoc.bsky.social•150 days ago

Its what the people wanted. They set the tone. If people demanded veracity theyd get veracity. They want self confirmation, entertainment, ..

andmarwood.bsky.social•151 days ago

What Musk did to Twitter was toxic.
We need all official accounts to migrate across to Bluesky, leaving Musk with a hollow husk of a social media platform populated only by his bots and sycophants.

derrylea.bsky.social•150 days ago

Absolutely
It’s a complete Shitfest
The Daily Sport is more believable

forukraine.bsky.social•151 days ago

I can read news on Blue without a paywall or any hindrance. The corrupt media outlets trying to make ends meet is not fit for purpose anymore. Links with that I don’t visit

stephenhyde.bsky.social•151 days ago

Seems pretty logical and sensible to me!

monrouge.bsky.social•151 days ago

But some media types have got their books to sell and will never leave X

rudy6667.bsky.social•146 days ago

How are you or a collective world going to do this when it feeds the anger of the right and they are never going to give it up because itnis all they know?

wasbob.bsky.social•150 days ago

This is absolutely critical!!!

thebeliever.bsky.social•151 days ago

They can't stop! Sadly,
now-a-day the msm no longer strive to report unbiased truth and researched reliable facts. They live for clicks or eyeballs. Truth and facts no longer matter.

dennisobell.bsky.social•151 days ago

If anything, they're going to dig in even deeper when the orange buffoon slaps his flabby arse back in the Whitehouse.
