disturbing uptick in "we post tweets and talk about them." servile behavior tbh. bluesky is not the Greek chorus for the main character action of twitter, that's loser thinking, have some pride. twitter is dead. post bangers. thank you

I read that 75% of Superbowl tweets were from bots. What does that tell you about twitter? This was from an internet security fraud company that works on behalf of Fortune 500 companies that buy ads. It's fraud.
I try to avoid interacting with posts that are pictures of tweets or reactions to tweets. any response/reaction to that nonsense only serves to keep it relevant.
On that note... people need to stop calling their posts skeets.
I just can't understand why people, who wanted to leave Twitter in the toxic dirt it's in, started doing that.
If you wanna see BSky become it's own thing and not just be Twitter 2.0, then why would you even start going down that path?
I grew up with skeet being just another word that meant jizz. I can't decide if seeing people call their posts skeets and re-skeets makes me want to laugh or barf, honestly.
I just made it up. It’s where someone posts on Bluesky, aka “skeets” a screenshot of a post on X, formerly Twitter, aka a “tweet”, hence a “tweet skeet”
My experience—as a Brit—is that if you post bangers, given how unreliable Royal Mail is these days they arrive stinky and slightly green. Frying them first doesn't help! HTH.
all the men and treasure sent to win an empire and it took until it was all gone, and many of its former subjects had moved to their former ruler, to make a substantial improvement on this
I appreciate the thought, but if X is the “voice of the regime”, then discussing the statements from the regime in a free and open manner seems appropriate to me.
Honestly, I’d rather they just steal the tweet. I don’t need to know you got it from FirstNameBunchaNumbers on Twitter. And if it’s awful and you don’t want to put your name to it, don’t curse my timeline with it! We don’t need all that!
Today I was reflecting on Twitter 1.0. It really was magical. Think about where we would be if…. But NeverMind onward to bluer skies. Member since 2023.
Personally I joined the lovely BlueSky because I didn't want to read the nasty whines of Trump and Musk, so I am very happy when people don't bring them over here.
Bonus annoying points if they couldn’t even add alt text to it to make it accessible! 😡
I’ve been using this labeller tbh to make all the Twitter screenshots disappear because I do not need that in a space I’m here to enjoy: https://bsky.app/profile/xblock.aendra.dev
Yeah Bluesky needs 2 be central traffic hub for info responses and debates. Happy to lurk on the Xit and bring stuff I've not seen Bluesky posts about, but never to help any traffic/engagement back to the Xit. Think that core thing is to go 2 sources of info and quote from there not screenshot Xit
Bluesky and its users prescribe to a dying paradigm. It’s a safe space to mourn the loss of progressives’ moral capital and cultural prestige. It’s as if the French aristocracy had a digital space to lament the Revolution.
It’s easy to dismiss valid concerns when you cloak the opposing view in cynical hyperbole.
Something tells me you do actually find joy in running your fingers along the wall of the padded room in which you’ve voluntarily locked yourself. To each their own..
I want real healthcare debates. Koch Bros vs Bernie Bros. Not this distracting stuff pretending the most pressing issue is that puberty blockers are too available (they’re not. I know people who’ve gotten them). Spare me. Maybe there’s valid concerns beneath the superficial talking points…
I do not “cry” about labor shortages. They are an opportunity for workers to demand better wages and conditions. But my point is they were a reality… during the Biden era. That was my point. Your mythical “open border” is a simplification meant to avoid any meaningful immigration reform discussions.
Instead of Elon breaking yet more laws and basic ethics, I would like to know whether or not teleporters can currently give us amnesty for crimes, assuming they're not wormhole variants.
Honestly one of the main problems with Bluesky is that you don't have total administrative access. If John Darnielle, Lord Mayor of Bluesky, says we can't post it, we can't post it.
FOOLISH STRANGERS. WHY POST TWEETS WHEN YOU CAN POST PRO-SIMIC PROPAGANDA IN A NOTED BLUE/MILL/IZZET PLAYER'S MENTIONS, TO FURTHER THE ANCIENT RIVALRIES?
So I got this in the discover tab. And I checked you out. And I still can’t figure out what you are trying to tell me. Sorry. Maybe I am somehow clueless?
I've noticed that, just in the last week or so, the smallest margin of less than a 90° finger swipe to refresh the following tab pulls me into the discover tab.
That is a big part of the problem here. Millions of people yet we just see the same few whether you are following or not. Bluesky is still a popularity contest. Where are the fresh ideas and voices? And yes sycophantic behavior of praise and agreement are so useless to the conversation. Well done.

Spellcheck might as well be turned off for all the good it does me.
I just can't understand why people, who wanted to leave Twitter in the toxic dirt it's in, started doing that.

Nobody needs to stop doing that. This is an annoying take.
I see no reason to not enjoy screenshots of classic tweets, though
@jcsalterego.bsky.social posts SKEETS, and we talk about them.
Thankfully, he hasn’t tried to dramatically reshape the government, yet.
I know skeet shooting.. that's about it.
Thanks!
i don't want to see twitter shit
stop going to the nazi owned website
TIA
Don't be Reddit Bluesky.
I long for the halcyon age of ten seconds ago when I hadn't read it
The odour of off pork banger is horrifically unforgettable
I left in 2020 and haven’t missed it. It’s been great to rediscover accounts I followed there over here in the clear blue sky
Now that’s a banger
we have an inherently awesome community of thoughtful creative intelligent and sufficiently snarky people on bluesky and no shortage of topics
however not all of us can post bangers as evidenced by this sample from my corpus

But ya, cry about labor shortages like a Southern planter cried about abolition.
