Right??

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff.

I like this version of social media, and the world.

Thanks, folks.

Why isn't Elmo turning his crappy shit sink Xitter into a red label location?

mettrekman.bsky.social•104 days ago

Hi Rick!

apexprovocateur.bsky.social•104 days ago

The only way to engage MAGA is to tell them to go fuck themselves by blocking them. Let’s keep this place clean with reasoned debate, cooperation, and dialogue - not death threats, moronic rightwing propaganda, and fixed algorithms that try to convince us to try fascism.

tlcowan.bsky.social•104 days ago

So glad you're here!

chmnmeow666.bsky.social•104 days ago

I always enjoyed your replies to trolls though.

karijohn.bsky.social•104 days ago

It really is a great place with smart, compassionate people.

chopshopsunbear.bsky.social•104 days ago

It is an adjustment for me to scroll and see just actual posts, vs ads for the same mobile game over and over. Love it.

manhasnoname.bsky.social•104 days ago

MAGA lives for the argument and driving you mad with their illogic.

Don’t even respond if they appear. Just block.

butterflydreams.bsky.social•102 days ago

I just block them!!

steinbergerd.bsky.social•104 days ago

Crazy how sanity is just inherently more fun to be around.

listentoshaft.bsky.social•104 days ago

Plus I enjoy blocking MAGA bottom feeding trolls every single day on this platform. Send them back to the land of Elmo X.

mkohlbauer78.bsky.social•104 days ago

So glad I never had a Twitter account or X

jubilado251.bsky.social•104 days ago

Rick, I was just reading the Geragos & Geragos defamation claim against you on behalf of Chris LaCivita. Knowing the facts behind the Sucker video, I think you’re solid. Good luck.

blue4nik.bsky.social•104 days ago

Let's all work together to keep it that way.

b4rilla1.bsky.social•104 days ago

Yup

blueinvt.bsky.social•104 days ago

Concur completely! My tension levels have dropped significantly since I kicked X to the curb...

canadianbacon66.bsky.social•104 days ago

And we block the trolls

marie630.bsky.social•104 days ago

Me too! So many likeminded people

oaklandishdude.bsky.social•104 days ago

Yes when you get to take out the garbage it really cleans up the place.

unchainedx6.bsky.social•104 days ago

Hey Rick, can you help me explain to my “male friends,” that the Comstock Act most certainly will apply to Viagra as well as contraception

sonnysmithnyc.bsky.social•104 days ago

Amazing what moderation can do

chogarae.bsky.social•104 days ago

who moderates this app? who owns it?

sonnysmithnyc.bsky.social•103 days ago

Gremlins

zeekers.bsky.social•104 days ago

Yes, this is wonderful!

carlcroom.bsky.social•104 days ago

As one of the common folk, I know I'm grateful all you smart, insightful people who do really deep dives into things , are here to help us understand things better

Been calling myself "libturd soy-boy cuck" in the mirror just to ease the withdrawals from the other place.

bydavecaldwell.bsky.social•104 days ago

This is fun! I think I've laughed (in a good way!) at posts more times in the last four days here than I had the last couple of years on that vile shitpile.

raiastar.bsky.social•104 days ago

We are all contributing to Bluesky and building on the platform and its atmosphere and standards. I sure hope it continues the way it is now.

direwolf54.bsky.social•103 days ago

I opened my BSky today and find I've been followed by 10 Elmo accounts.

FFS make this stop

msfeathers.bsky.social•104 days ago

Happy you're here with us Rick!

camivette.bsky.social•104 days ago

We have to protect it. I see the trolls are increasing every day. Block every single one. Do not engage

lamusing.bsky.social•104 days ago

Just created my account here an hour or so ago. Hunting for my peeps from there to follow over the next few days followed you of course!) as well as finding cool new folks.
So happy to start transitioning over here from that toxic waste dump!

crickettehkm.bsky.social•104 days ago

It’s like a breath of fresh air. Artists, writers, it’s beautiful… Even photographs of ducks and puppies.

howdynaloha.bsky.social•104 days ago

RIGHT AND EXACT !

babybuscemiyoda.bsky.social•104 days ago

I don’t understand why more people aren’t talking about the election that was stolen two weeks ago?? This is a place free of little (F)Elon’s meddling!

cheeseheadlucy.bsky.social•104 days ago

The difference is nothing short of amazing.

acecobb.bsky.social•104 days ago

George w bush is the most consequential president and the starting point for our failed democracy.

veggieto.bsky.social•104 days ago

The weirdest thing is MAGA trolls being so mad we have a space that we can actually enjoy. It's almost as if they demand we be as miserable as them 24/7.

jubilado251.bsky.social•104 days ago

That’s so true. On right wing media they’re whining about people leaving X. They just want us around to gloat.

veggieto.bsky.social•104 days ago

They try to gloat, but it doesn't work with me and they end up shutting up or blocking me. Problem solved.😅

fcburleigh.bsky.social•104 days ago

"No you dodo..." LOL IRL. 'Cuz the flag ... is within sight!

veggieto.bsky.social•104 days ago

You figure it would be obvious right?

jubilado251.bsky.social•104 days ago

Evidently not or I wouldn’t be asking. Sounds like liberal doublespeak to me.

gangstanon44.bsky.social•104 days ago

Id really like Canaidan citizenship, I dont connect to anything here. Id rather not live in the next Nazi Germany.

dotsgtgrandbaby.bsky.social•104 days ago

That’s awesome. I’m also in Canada 🇨🇦😊

craigcarlyon.bsky.social•104 days ago

but i have to go back to the other place to see Rick trolling MAGA

jay7314.bsky.social•104 days ago

Nice to leave hatred behind ya!

bryan-eggert.bsky.social•104 days ago

We have a chance to save social media and democracy. Let's not screw it up this time!

elinsweat.bsky.social•104 days ago

Such a different and good atmosphere.

grudgematch.bsky.social•104 days ago

It’s currently an echo chamber for group think.

frankjones25.bsky.social•104 days ago

Rick Wilson is one of the “good guys” and is with a follow.
#democracy
#resistance
#BlueCrew

mikemtw.bsky.social•104 days ago

Thanks Rick. Those are my impressions too. I've stayed away from social media for several years. Bluesky is truly a breath of fresh air. I hope and pray it continues the commitment to truth and weeding out the trolls and bots.

pjmacwriter.bsky.social•104 days ago

Princess Luna agrees.

danancolorado.bsky.social•104 days ago

Are we in danger of deluding ourselves?

madgreek2024.bsky.social•104 days ago

I agree...

tamela.bsky.social•104 days ago

Indeed

lilianposey.bsky.social•104 days ago

Right👍

nastyoldwoman.bsky.social•104 days ago

All this community is chicken soup for our souls. It's like singing in the Liberation Tabernacle Choir.

Reality check: We won't be able to win this war on democracy until the only source MAGA trusts pays a price for its falsehoods & distortions. What's the best way to put pressure on that source?

yetiblanco.bsky.social•104 days ago

Peace and harmony. Almost a Utopia.

gangstanon44.bsky.social•104 days ago

I remember when Twitter was just a place to jot a few sentences of things that brightned your day. What you ate, a game you played, some art that was really kickass, follow a celebrity. It seemed so simple, frivolous and harmless.

suziequark10.bsky.social•104 days ago

Far Right, Koch brothers, Federalist society and others have been planning takeover of the Federal govt for years.
They are persistent and very very wealthy$$$.
DEMOCRACY IN CHAINS by NANCY MACLEAN lays it all out.

misscherryjones.bsky.social•104 days ago

I've upped my Blue Sky usage a lot in the past couple weeks

butterflydreams.bsky.social•102 days ago

Me too, more than tiktok!

Nice to see the people I followed in twitter. Got me through the election even though it didn’t work out

mike-erso.bsky.social•104 days ago

The world needs safe, happy, places like this!

1fingersalute.bsky.social•104 days ago

We can still talk shit about Donnie and the rest, right?

thermionic-studios.bsky.social•104 days ago

Hi Rick. I have a real-world plan that I think can help. Please DM me and I'll share.

darlyn215.bsky.social•104 days ago

I’m just enjoying not being called the Nword.

vordo.bsky.social•104 days ago

the only downside it if you are active and I mean ACTIVE a cool post suddenly has thousands or reposts and millions of comments and it feels a little late to make some smart (ass) comment....

madmatt8181.bsky.social•104 days ago

There's always time for a comment! Especially the smart ass kind. One of the things that my now adult son has quoted me back to me is "it's better to be a smart ass than a dumb ass". Gratifying to know he was paying attention.
