Good Morning All!

Please may I use a latex dog toy with the appearance of a bull?

It's actually a squeaky toy with a difference as it makes a farty noise when squeezed.🤣

My profile pic is Pooh Bear because I don't want to put my photo on as it would scare people off 😂

chris17jn.bsky.social•617 days ago

Been giving benefit of the doubt on this one, Lou… mostly.. but starting to be selective in some follow backs.

kjmacculloch.bsky.social•614 days ago

I'm loving the calm over here! Still playing in the Xnumptyverse, but no longer engaged in the angst.

Here, I can breathe...

brontewoodruff.bsky.social•617 days ago

Thanks for the tip!

I've given out 100s of codes and so far all is fine 🤣

lesharris.bsky.social•615 days ago

I’m new here, when are you given the ability to give out invite codes?

skiptomyloulou.bsky.social•614 days ago

They'll drop into your profile 2 weeks after you join and every 2 weeks thereafter

lesharris.bsky.social•614 days ago

Thanks 😀

Maybe it's a hangover from the bad place, but when I am followed by no picture, no bio, no post accounts, I assume it is a bot and block. Every time.

mainejane.bsky.social•617 days ago

Here’s one you can block. They stole one of my codes to get in here.

susankiddie.bsky.social•617 days ago

When I search for them, nothing comes up. I find that a lot with searching on this app. People mention problematic accounts and when I search to block them, nothing.

northernmonkey.bsky.social•616 days ago

Stole a code?

mainejane.bsky.social•616 days ago

I was foolish enough to try to hand it off in a non-private space. Apparently bots seek these things out and grab them in seconds before the person it was intended for can use them.

northernmonkey.bsky.social•616 days ago

Stupid bots.

kaybeelon.bsky.social•612 days ago

One post at least would be nice, too. Until they arrive properly.

danielrembrandt.bsky.social•617 days ago

I’ve been very lenient on this. Many seem to join and then hold it as a placeholder. No posting - no profile pic - no bio.

But I think my leniency is going to run out by end of November. Then I’ll probably unfollow everyone without a profile pic & bio.

skiptomyloulou.bsky.social•617 days ago

I already have. I really don't want to follow people who aren't posting anything tbh

maspinall72.bsky.social•617 days ago

I have as well. I rarely post on the dark side, and I see no point in following placeholders who don't engage.
Fair enough if people want to test the water, but not setting up a profile shows little commitment.

skiptomyloulou.bsky.social•617 days ago

Exactly

deelomas.bsky.social•617 days ago

I forget to post on here tbh!

skiptomyloulou.bsky.social•617 days ago

I do, too, sometimes. I've made a habit of copying and pasting tweets and putting them on here x

simunch1.bsky.social•615 days ago

As a serial non-poster, I plead that leniency is used for my clan.

I suspect many are holding on to twatter for dear life.

If Noel Skum's paid subscription trial in New Zealand goes well and goes X-wide then I foresee a mass exodus, but the question remains as to where folks will go.

paulheardartist.bsky.social•617 days ago

I'm finding it hard tbh. On Twitter I was completely relaxed and would fountain anything that was in my head, mostly cruddy Dutch music from youtube. I now have to create my third post on Bluesky and I have writer's block.

skiptomyloulou.bsky.social•617 days ago

Can you copy and paste your tweets onto here?

paulheardartist.bsky.social•617 days ago

I wouldn't dream of it. I don't want to stomp on fresh snow. If I have found an alternative to twitter I want it to be something different from twitter, but I don't know what to say.

skiptomyloulou.bsky.social•617 days ago

It'll come to you eventually 🙂

mrsal.bsky.social•615 days ago

Just joined myself; I'm slowly trying to find & link up with my Twitter friends. 😎

skiptomyloulou.bsky.social•615 days ago

Welcome! Take a look through my followers. You'll see lots of familiar faces 😀

mrsal.bsky.social•615 days ago

Will do.

revjack.bsky.social•617 days ago

👍 right ho

janlfc.bsky.social•617 days ago

Fair enough - I may do the same.

hopea.bsky.social•617 days ago

Is my real name not sufficient??

bruja1.bsky.social•617 days ago

Glad you made that point LouLou. I like to see the bio of people I’m following.

tarquinfauntleroy.bsky.social•617 days ago

Now I'm wondering if my 'Pot Noodle On Toast' bio needs changing.. 🤭

skiptomyloulou.bsky.social•617 days ago

🤣

thulsadoom.bsky.social•617 days ago

My original Twitter Acc had a pic and an accurate bio.
Some lunatics tried to leverage this info to track me down.
This account will NOT have a pic or any personal info.

oldwoman.bsky.social•617 days ago

Well, I've tried a thousand times and I cannot upload a profile pic!
If anyone is intrigued by my anonymity ( as if!), I did manage to upload a 'banner' pic

skiptomyloulou.bsky.social•617 days ago

But you already have a profile pic 🤔
