Mina, I'd be interested to see what the temperature difference is like for you on here vs. X. Saw some real unnecessary garbage on the other one. Better here?

but i love it when you dunk on jerks

jstnchpmn.bsky.social•118 days ago

Yay!! I like this app so much better already.

lionheart03.bsky.social•118 days ago

This place doesn't make me think global warming should win, so that's nice. Glad to have you aboard

patpat76.bsky.social•118 days ago

It's also nicer reading your stuff when there isn't an army of idiots in every thread.

larrycleland.bsky.social•118 days ago

Mina-are the Chiefs seriously looking for a left tackle or are they planning just to get by?

androhanwillanswer.bsky.social•118 days ago

I'm also excited for the post-twitter era where we don't have to keep referencing the old platform on a regular basis.

Let's make a community centered around kindness.

I just need more highlights here and we're golden. Please recruit the ESPN and NFL accounts! 🫡

carmiev.bsky.social•118 days ago

This is the one thing I'm hoping for most

psedoali.bsky.social•118 days ago

But the trolls are in company with each other now which isn’t fun for them, it’s just a matter until they migrate over (also why are all the gifs anime and really old stuff?)

daerikssonekenjoya.bsky.social•118 days ago

Mina what’s your take on Joel Eriksson Ek

adampwells.bsky.social•118 days ago

Can I bother you for a question: Thoughts on the Lenoir extension for SF? Fair? Too much?

captain-tassaq.bsky.social•117 days ago

Well deserved but as a 49ers fan I always think “too much”. 🤷🏻‍♂️

hoovtube.bsky.social•118 days ago

Now that it’s easier to see that the FF Community isn’t all bad, I hope you consider coming to the Fantasy Football Expo in Canton next August!

venomtj.bsky.social•118 days ago

Yeah way too much p**n bots and people wanting to fight for the sake of fighting on the bird place.

shystir.bsky.social•118 days ago

You are a national treasure....you most be protected at all cost

ffchalupabatman.bsky.social•118 days ago

You are the 🐐

mdamage.bsky.social•118 days ago

Agreed. So anyway, Brock Purdy is better than in-his-prime Russell Wilson, yes? 😉

i-am-chatgpt.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not even close.

john-hesterman.bsky.social•118 days ago

It has been a very positive migration. Glad it’s been the same for you thus far. Bluesky to the moon! (As the kids say)

notagback5.bsky.social•118 days ago

So happy you’re here, Mina ☺️!

natekansas.bsky.social•118 days ago

You were gonna be on my short list of "I'll keep the other app for now so I can still get their perspective". Glad I don't have to keep both lol

andrewchampagne.bsky.social•118 days ago

This feels relevant.

johnreecer.bsky.social•118 days ago

Mina, do you have any pure guesses at what could be the 1-2 surprise head coach openings this cycle that we can always count on shocking everyone?

riffraf979.bsky.social•118 days ago

Stefanski.

legendofcorra.bsky.social•118 days ago

It’s nice “tweeting” something out, and not worrying about people aggressively responding. Just to be a dick.

davidgast.bsky.social•118 days ago

Very excited to see you on here and engaging. Now get me Swag, please 🙏 😭

davidnoonan.bsky.social•118 days ago

Any change in the Puzzle Comment to Football Comment ratio?

hier19.bsky.social•118 days ago

Reading Mina’s replies on this site as opposed to Twitter

perfecthatgames.com•118 days ago

glad to hear it 🫶🏻

toddsleaving.bsky.social•118 days ago

You’re the best Mina… will follow you wherever you go!!! I miss old sports Twitter so much… feels like this is on the right track…

No p*rn bots under every post is nice

taylorjenkins.bsky.social•118 days ago

And it’s nice going to replies and not seeing the worst people you could possibly imagine getting artificially boosted to the top.

adotsad.bsky.social•118 days ago

Aside from turning it into Truth Social, that change was basically what killed discourse on Twitter.

taylorjenkins.bsky.social•118 days ago

He said “freedom of speech not freedom of reach” and then immediately gave everyone who shouldn’t have any reach at all in a normal society the largest reach you could give them. Absolutely horrid change.

gnasty24.bsky.social•118 days ago

Also there's no suggested posts once you click into a thread and people are more sane in the replies

joeymountains.bsky.social•118 days ago

They be having klan meetings in the replies on Twitter

ch0pp0.bsky.social•117 days ago

Haha nah

easterbrooksj.bsky.social•118 days ago

Yeah, I mean it’s probable they are by this point..

thegregjensen.bsky.social•118 days ago

Or the constant, "Wow, very nice!" replies under every single NFL or NBA post by some blue checks just looking to up their impression counts so they qualify for payouts.

kulisu86.bsky.social•118 days ago

You would literally have to scroll down for minutes on popular posts if you wanted to wade through all the "verified" replies. Minutes. It was so garbage.

benfromtx.bsky.social•118 days ago

It’s so weird.. I’ve been seeing your posts and none of them are retweets of guys saying awful things to you!

I had forgotten how bad Twitter got.

buckchaser.bsky.social•117 days ago

We need more sports people feeling ok talking without weighing the awful stuff people say for attention

badgramar.bsky.social•118 days ago

Thanks for trying to lead the charge on sports migration over here!

Anyone you recommend to follow for AFC North and Ravens content?

zackbalzer.bsky.social•118 days ago

brianasoltis.bsky.social•118 days ago

I hope you are getting less harassment than previously. Keep rocking it, Mina!

lotuslandcomics.bsky.social•118 days ago

I've seen the comments you get on Twitter. I don't know how you stayed on there for so long.

joaoimbezerra.bsky.social•118 days ago

Always liked you Mina but especially now that you are a "run the damn ball" person 😁

You have lots of fans here in Brazil :)

imstillmasking.bsky.social•118 days ago

Mina let's see those feet (sorry want you to feel at home here)

superduperhans.bsky.social•118 days ago

Great to see you here, Mina. I was a big Raiders fan. 40 years. Because of their Maga players, I've quit - although in reality, they quit on me.

jarediroybal.bsky.social•118 days ago

No mansplanning or chauvinists talking about women not knowing about sports.

davemyersbib.bsky.social•118 days ago

You are one of the best in the business. Thank you for always bringing knowledge and perspective.

zmansfield.bsky.social•118 days ago

Really missed the likes of you and @pablotorre.bsky.social in my feed after I left Twitter. Glad you all have migrated here, too.

philanese.bsky.social•118 days ago

Crazy how not having the top 5-10 replies of every skeet be blue check AI bots makes for a better experience

anthonyrusso.bsky.social•118 days ago

A social media platform that doesn't encourage people to spout off racist, offensive, or indecent comments to get clicks and make money, imagine that

notwhoyoudream.bsky.social•118 days ago

I’m still being offensive on both.

Just not the other two.

larryj0727.bsky.social•118 days ago

Mina!!!!! You're here!!! My world makes sense again.

studley11.bsky.social•118 days ago

The difference here is that you can Nuclear Block them and they are gone out of your sight forever.

Mutes are better here, too.

bobbyhavland.bsky.social•118 days ago

It feels relaxing here. My blood pressure doesn’t spike when I open this all.

pretttyflackooo.bsky.social•118 days ago

I’m loving not seeing a damn ad every other post. Love your work Mina! Wish u continued success!

samirpatel.bsky.social•118 days ago

Really going to miss your gif responses to some of that trash tho

flempire.bsky.social•118 days ago

Someone tell @minakimes.bsky.social that I am not following her on 9 different social platforms.

It’s Blue Sky or Bust.

And of course the YouTube channel with Lenny.

santiagojim.bsky.social•118 days ago

We are glad you are here. You’re awesome at what you do!

billsstan.bsky.social•118 days ago

You’re one of my favorites! I used to work in local media… you’re amazing for doing what you do on the national stage with a baby at home. The hours and stress aren’t easy!

justaregularjoe.bsky.social•118 days ago

It’s also nice that the comments are actual people and aren’t ChatGPT fueled blue checkmarks summarizing the post to interaction farm for a paycheck

soxfan28.bsky.social•118 days ago

Glad to see you here. I always enjoyed your posts on the other site.

amishmatt72.bsky.social•118 days ago

It’s a nice break from it . The last few months were terrible over there.

deutschmarine.bsky.social•118 days ago

tylersmith91.bsky.social•118 days ago

It feels like the old internet, where you knew you were interacting with humans. It’s also great to know that nobody is engagement farming for a few cents.

jvswizzle.bsky.social•118 days ago

Love to hear that! Think you're great at what you do and who you are, keep it up! 🙂

rickgregory.me•118 days ago

Block early and often. The Bsky block is SO effective it just chokes off the air from bad actors. It was fun to see you quote them and dunk on them, but that does give them air and they don't deserve it

latour2323.bsky.social•118 days ago

Fingers crossed 🤞.

coachvass.bsky.social•118 days ago

@minakimes.bsky.social do we have hope that it stays this way?

alexanderman.bsky.social•118 days ago

Mina, can Ben Johnson save Dallas next season or are we cursed for eternity?

jeezybeezy.bsky.social•118 days ago

I’m conflicted on Twitter. I’m the one hand I love seeing you cook those hateful morons. But on the other hand I get pissed that you’re subjected to their vitriol!

mcmullinrc.bsky.social•118 days ago

Crazy how not pushing paid blue checks to the top of every single reply section basically fixes most of the issues with the site.

penskematerial.bsky.social•118 days ago

Glad to see some sports folks coming this way. Need this to keep up so I can leave the other app for good

markedpermanently.bsky.social•118 days ago

Hello. If the Ravens get their DL working where would you put their chances of making the Superbowl? Thanks…

synthdream.bsky.social•118 days ago

It's nice to have a safe space for us fellow DEIs to have clandestine meetings where we strategize how to greatly underperform at jobs we certainly did not earn by merit /s

dmisemer.bsky.social•118 days ago

Ngl, #football was pretty lonely this first half. Only way I got to hear your input on games was the pod and ATH. Currently chewing through the preview for the week and wondering if Eberflus gets the axe before black Monday.

rimlessballer88.bsky.social•118 days ago

I'm only here because of you! I'm glad you tagged your account on IG. Deleted my X account instantly once I opened Bluesky

ndygh17.bsky.social•118 days ago

scruffums.bsky.social•118 days ago

ergestkelo14.bsky.social•118 days ago

thedudebeard.bsky.social•118 days ago

jwjones252.bsky.social•118 days ago

Mina should I be excited to watch Bryce play KC or will my panthers get eaten alive

adam407.bsky.social•118 days ago

Deactivated and deleted account from the bad app and I’m honestly loving the vibe on Threads and Bluesky. Hope it stays this way for a long time! 👍

atom7895.bsky.social•118 days ago

davidwalden05.bsky.social•118 days ago

Its so refreshing to see and have actual discussion happening versus just bots, angry people getting boosted because they paid the fee, culture wars/politics and shameless self promotion.

Its like the Twitter we all knew and loved back in the day and it makes me happy.

tomdanks.bsky.social•118 days ago

buffalosoilder.bsky.social•118 days ago

mrzwij.bsky.social•117 days ago

chargersball.bsky.social•118 days ago

transredsfan.bsky.social•118 days ago

easterbrooksj.bsky.social•118 days ago

I’m glad too. There was just so much garbage you took in the comments on just about every post you made at the hellsite. It was exhausting even to try to stick up for you there given the firehose of crap..

So much better here and let’s keep it that way.

armandhammer.bsky.social•118 days ago

kyshogie.bsky.social•118 days ago

seahawksbmx.bsky.social•118 days ago

milesfarmer.bsky.social•118 days ago

wrenford.bsky.social•118 days ago

It’s refreshing to be on a platform where you know the majority of people aren’t bots

duke99nyu03.bsky.social•118 days ago

This is not a profound observation, but nevertheless- the key to the momentum of this place is feeling confident we are not missing out on interesting info/breaking news. First test for me will be tonight’s Eagles game as a diehard Eagles who relied on the other place for in-game info.

hamhyatt.bsky.social•118 days ago

Are we still barred from asking about the Seahawks O-line, because I have questions (will Abe Lucas fix everything, please say yes)

lacanm1.bsky.social•118 days ago

crystalpeachyb.bsky.social•118 days ago

Mina have always loved your content glad it’s a little slower so I can see everything 🤩

wildmanjohn10.bsky.social•118 days ago

It really is a lot nicer here. Always love your analysis on espn. How did you become so proficient in football analytics.

laramsfanzone.bsky.social•118 days ago

ergestkelo14.bsky.social•118 days ago

For real tho. I was waiting for something like the old Twitter to pop up

stevetsra.bsky.social•118 days ago

minakimes.bsky.social•118 days ago

😭😭😭

jlev41.bsky.social•118 days ago

Please have more of your coworkers come here. The main reason so many people still use X is for sports info.

riffraf979.bsky.social•118 days ago

Infinitely less irrational hate, s**tposting, and pornbots is good. I'm assuming the sports takes will be less ridiculous, seeing as the worst offenders aren't here yet.

alexlarams.bsky.social•118 days ago

It's so much better here....blue sky so far is a very appropriate name...

cogy.bsky.social•118 days ago

Helps when the accounts are run by real people and not bots

ahnseoulo.bsky.social•117 days ago

BlueSky feels like a newborn baby and everything feels super nice. I miss the chaotic energy of Twitter from like 2014-20 but still some constraints. But as X, it’s fully in the crazy, old man stage and it’s no fun at all.
