As I said to someone else, it feels like we were veterans from a horrible war (no disrespect to actual veterans). Hypervigilant, oversensitive and quick to over-react. Coming to a place that discusses things calmly, is like I'm being deprogrammed and rehabilitated.

Liberating being on Sky.
Happy you are here as you provide humour and we all going to need a lot of humour in the next 4 years

Happy Sunday to you, too!

It's nice to just scroll and not see porn bots or someone just posting straight hate or misinformation

hammys-howl.bsky.social•98 days ago

X is enough to ruin any decent human being’s day. No place for good people.

dibbly.bsky.social•98 days ago

I as well. A satisfying moment to hit the delete button on the shortcut.

Other then dropping X, I have switched to reading 30 minutes of non-fiction before any screen time (except for a quick look at my phone's calendar).

glitchdaddyq.bsky.social•97 days ago

Same

martinhp.blog•97 days ago

Yeppppp.

amazinglymela.bsky.social•98 days ago

Same than immediately close it and go to TikTok however I find that app has also changed significantly! 😌

dufc1976.bsky.social•98 days ago

Yeah. Not missing it at all. Only a matter of time some of the people, sports, etc migrate over here.

charliegolf.ca•97 days ago

Yes. I came for the better experience on here and I'm staying because the moderation lists are so effective that they stop the trash from ruining it.

yeggirlab.bsky.social•98 days ago

I hear ya. Same

drross1968.bsky.social•98 days ago

Just deactivated my account. I was scrolling through and like you it was only making me angry. Why associate with people online that you never would in everyday life?

cfcrehill.bsky.social•98 days ago

Agreed 💯

trailrider.bsky.social•98 days ago

X is a cesspool. Your feelings are valid.

markc-289.bsky.social•98 days ago

Unfortunately, this too, shall pass.
Yesterday, on X, I saw a pic taken of a post here blocking the BlueSky profile of any angry right-winged Canadian reporter.
I hated to do it, but that profile became my first block on this platform. I don’t need that.

junglejean.bsky.social•98 days ago

I think most of us here are happy to block and ignore, if they don’t get the attention they crave it won’t be worth their time (maybe).

markc-289.bsky.social•98 days ago

This individual’s profile indicated he hopes to connect with others “with open minds”; a very polite-sounding profile. With him being a Canadian, many on this platform will not even be aware of this individual but most Canadian profiles, here, probably will.

tomf66.bsky.social•98 days ago

I haven't deactivated but definitely more calm on here

big-steppa.bsky.social•98 days ago

You’re rewiring your brain to be happier :)

melissa-amy.bsky.social•98 days ago

Agreed! Mental health improving daily.

nikiwalker1.bsky.social•98 days ago

Same. Deactivated Twitter a few days ago and immediately felt my cortisol drop. No looking back.

sonnetstream.bsky.social•97 days ago

can confirm

junglejean.bsky.social•98 days ago

They’re SO mad over there lol. Now they have to make sexual insults at each other all day, instead of actually becoming fully formed humans with hobbies and personalities.
