I left the other site the day it changed hands. Since I’ve started actively using this site about a month ago, I’ve stumbled on a bunch of accounts I haven’t seen since I left. It’s been like a weird virtual reunion. lol
I wish my 6 English friends from England would come over here and my sweetie actor Anthony Starke . He’s so much fun and so kind. He’s helped me get over my hatred of trump a lot😂😂😂
Sadly, not everyone I followed has made it over here. Some of them don't want to rebuild their followings and some are probably quietly MAGA. I also miss my baseball community, which is not so quietly MAGA when not talking baseball. I keep checking in over there, but not as often. It's exhausting.
The do-over chance for a fresh start has been sanity saving. The old me wanted to hear everything the other side said 1st hand irt & thought I could sway their thinking. The bsky me is fine to have news buffers between me & the vile. And I block, block, block. Result? I can actually think again.
Trump is destroying this country, we must all stand up to this. Stock market is crashing and the world hates us. Things are gonna get worse. Brace yourselves for a depression. Follow me for new thought leadership. New progressives unite!
I just heard the muskrat is now living at the Whitehouse (Now known as nazi headquarters) He tags along everywhere felon47 goes. Almost like SOMEONE wants him to keep an eye on the traitor. Do they share the same bedroom?
Same here. I mostly read and follow other accounts, rather than post original content, but the vibe here is so much better! Do not miss the other at all.
This site is refreshing. I was getting tired of proving I a human. Freedom of speech my foot. First time around he erased my 2,100 followers. Truth hurts on X
I have a group chat and there’s not an active fanbase for the girl from Ready Player One here which is bizarrely something I realized I needed. But I only go for the group chat
I have a new, burner account at twitter (supposedly X) so that I can continue to contradict the lies and foolishness there. Don't want to let Elon get away it. 5-10 minutes is all I can take though.
Getting there. But I would miss the entertainment value of finding ways to explicitly call for the early, painful demise of Skum, the Rapist and other MAGA heroes, in terms the algorithm doesn't understand. Unfortunately, MAGAss would be too dumb to notice too.
I do miss some of the people that i met along the way.
I said that I would leave if Musk bought Twitter. He did, and so I departed. I figure that perhaps someday will meet again here on BLUESKY. I really do love the name. It instantly makes me think of a blue sky, which makes me happy 😊.
I got kicked out of Facebook a month ago because of my political posts. Don't miss big brother watching over my shoulder. This site is absolutely amazing.
I don't miss it at all. The toxicity was insane. I couldn't read comments because the first dozens would always just be the most awful things a person could say. Being here is doing a lot for my belief that there is still good in humanity.
I just wish more sports team and league pages were around here, wishing I could follow my favorite NFL team, MLB team, and then just NASCAR but they aren't active here afaik.
The only reason I keep my account over there and the only thing I use it for is to send meme's and messages directly to trump, Musk and the GOP to let them know we're not afraid of them and we won't be bullied.
I just came over a few days ago after having my account locked and cannot see myself going back. The atmosphere here is so much better. I don’t have too many friends here but that’s okay. Just happy to be here.
I don't miss the ex-Twitter either. I shut it down right after EM bought it. I knew where the future was headed on it, and I closed my account quickly.
I miss my family, actual real friends, and their pics. But the resistance is more important. We need to protect our national parks, environment, vulnerable people and our democracy!
I got rid of mine a few weeks ago. And don’t miss it at all! I’m more active here than I was on the other site. This is an awesome place, thanks for being so welcoming!😀
Completely agree. It’s taken me a while to recover from the trauma of Qlon’s hellscape and get comfortable commenting on posts over here. On Xhitter, every time I replied to a post I’d be set upon by a tsunami of Deplorables. #FuckTrump
I’ve got one left over there that I really care about. I found that if I do a web search of their handle I can see snippets of their recent tweets so I can check up on them without actually having to go there.
I only miss pro-Tennis and 80’s F1 accounts. But days can pass without checking the other platform. Not a big deal for me. Hopefully more Tennis accounts start moving here. But, it is to toxic on the other side

Welcome. Congratulations on your move out of the dark and into the BlueSky. 🦋
I got rid of it, never to return.
I said that I would leave if Musk bought Twitter. He did, and so I departed. I figure that perhaps someday will meet again here on BLUESKY. I really do love the name. It instantly makes me think of a blue sky, which makes me happy 😊.
Only a few friends still haven't made the jump, but otherwise, I won't miss that cesspool.
But I do like to visit on occasions, just to see if the stupid people are still stupid.
(They are).
The DMC house and senate
Perfectly fine here.
