I cannot imagine why any Canadian organization or citizen would be on X. #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦

deenomorecrap.bsky.social•1 day ago

In Canada all municipal government need to do the same. We should not be handing over our tax dollars to someone who wants to destroy and take over our country.

it REALLY can't be trusted. Cut it off.

Trust NL to show us the way. Every government in Canada should follow suit!

darrenschemmer.bsky.social•1 day ago

About time. Why is any Canadian politician or institution still on Xitter?

epalm82.bsky.social•22 hours ago

I hope all the cities in ally countries and in blue states will move to Blue Sky!

minervablackchurch.bsky.social•1 day ago

YES! 👏 DO IT!

catzrul.bsky.social•1 day ago

Good start. Ottawa city council voted it down. Maybe after seeing other municipalities doing it they’ll try again….

Given everything that's been going on for the past month, what goes through your mind when you see this picture? I'm curious who the CIA works for. If you can't stand this, please click on the link and walk through the door if you want to turn the tables on these pricks.

To monitor the new users and municipalities moving to bluesky u can check https://bskycheck.com

We definitely need more companies and gov entities to join #Bluesky

Note that this isn't too relevant in Canada: Our organizations don't often use .org and our universities & governments tend to be .ca . Any chance of running a .ca tracker for the 🇨🇦 crowd?

bskycheck.com•12 hours ago

Added a search on the domains. Now you can directly search and find your fellow Canadian

minibubbly.bsky.social•12 hours ago

bskycheck.com•1 day ago

Yes sure I am tracking also the .ca 😇
You currently have the #2 spot:

kteahen.bsky.social•1 day ago

Can you share that .ca list like you are sharing the .gov and .edu list? Canadians on here would like to know and follow.

bskycheck.com•1 day ago

Yes it is possible. Iet me think how I can implement that in the app in the future.

Annapolis County, here in the Annapolis Valley has left. they have blocked me on both platforms.

roxannenugent.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes! This is great news for us.

deb2468.bsky.social•1 day ago

All Canadian businesses and government agencies should follow. 🍁⚖️🇨🇦🪖

benjamin-mom.bsky.social•1 day ago

We need to get a rally going on here!!

drcubist.bsky.social•1 day ago

Defend Canadian sovereignty, blackout X/Twitter for the duration of the election (at least).

reiverroz.bsky.social•1 day ago

Twitter is horrible for local anything now that Elon has decided it's a weapon.

I know I've never liked Twitter, it's set up is horrible, in all the time wasting addictive ways, for my ADHD brain so I made a conscious decision to not use it years ago.

fuzbs.bsky.social•1 day ago

Great idea! I hope all municipal, provincial and federal entities leave that toxic waste dump of a social media platform. It’s so hateful and filled with lies. I closed my own account months ago.

lkd98.bsky.social•1 day ago

Get rid of their lies and deceit.

katfeast.bsky.social•1 day ago

Smart - all cities. Municipal, provincial should follow their lead. Get rid of Starlink whoever has it - spysatellites

littletomcat.bsky.social•1 day ago

Very, very good, but, still, ya gotta wonder how many committee meetings that decision required.

crowells.bsky.social•1 day ago

goldengirlmaple53.bsky.social•1 day ago

smart decision...X is full of lies and deceit and will interfere in our elections..the only solution is for everyone to delete their X accounts

albertleb.bsky.social•1 day ago

kootenay75.bsky.social•1 day ago

Dump X...it is a propaganda machine for the Trump regime.

never2old2resist.bsky.social•1 day ago

This should have been done right when Musk bought X.

darkcoffee8.bsky.social•1 day ago

@susanholtnb.bsky.social and any Premier or Mayor reading this: it's time to follow their lead, I'd say!

naturalwanderer.bsky.social•1 day ago

Everybody needs to switch already. The reason is in the name, literally. It is better here

gaiaantifa.bsky.social•1 day ago

That's good news.
Now we need others to follow. Looking hard at you, CBC.

silverfox604.bsky.social•22 hours ago

It would be justice to see amass exodus from X to match the contempt and free fall of Tesla.Musk will never go broke but tosee him grovel on t.v. for people to keep their cars,invest in Tesla and whine was a moment of glee.Musk fucks people daily,because he can,but karma isa bitch from little people

silverfox604.bsky.social•23 hours ago

I got off that Musk,Nazi saturated sickness of X and felt being able to say things so freely since.The last straw was anything that I posted critical of the Oval Office Sex Offender had me suspended for a week. Three times and I fled to Bluesky as a refugee and have been happily accommodated since!!

dougogg.bsky.social•1 day ago

WHY are people still on that platform? Is it ego—and the fear of losing all their followers and having to start over elsewhere?
The longer one stays on X, the longer they empower Emperor Elon by padding his user count, and thus help line his pocket with ad $.

easterncanuck.bsky.social•1 day ago

Let’s ask him to leave Twitter. We should not be padding the pockets of people trying to ruin our country. Good for NFLD. ❤️

plnear.bsky.social•1 day ago

X used to be twitter

easterncanuck.bsky.social•1 day ago

I know…I just think X is as stupid and lame as he is 🙂

skeeters2025.bsky.social•1 day ago

Why is it taking so long for people to get out. As soon as he bought it, I left. He is as crazy as trump. And he will use your information however he feels fit. 🤬

soundskugle.bsky.social•1 day ago

Bc most orgs, institutions, governments, 🌏wide established it as the go to 📢

The other sm media platforms didn't have the numbers or the infrastructure to handle the audience numbers all these folks were 📢ing to...

Thankfully things are changing

kate35.bsky.social•1 day ago

I find it difficult to understand why any level of government within Canada would still be on that site. He is one with that orange blob who is threatening our sovereignty.

greenrose351.bsky.social•1 day ago

It’s become more toxic than ever,
So many regulars are still there, so am I because of being in PP’s riding. Threads is amazing, the most Liberal site of all.

slc123.bsky.social•1 day ago

All government should ban X. It's a danger to society.

choconibbles.bsky.social•1 day ago

About time.

I still have a little twitter account with like zero followers that I use on rare occasions to go look and see what I'm not missing.
I checked Mark Carney's welcome message I guess it was, and there was 2.4k of nothing but vile, insulting replies.
I don't why anyone posts anything on there anymore.
