Happy to follow all my old mutuals from the other place

Been in the football space for sometime now and have been in out of fantasy while maintaining a presence in NFL coverage.

This app has made me appreciate the good the fantasy community has once again and I’m excited to provide some dynasty rookie content starting soon!

I’m really hoping so too. Would love to see more sports teams over here.

lots of great FF folks on this one

my question is why?
other than Elon owning Twitter, whats the reason to leave?

its still the preferred platform for most people

tamethestallion.bsky.social•112 days ago

for me, it's a matter of elon using the platform as his own political weather maker and minion. sick of being force-fed pro-trump and right wing posts, pretty much.

spoonfulofsport.bsky.social•112 days ago

Elon owning it in a vacuum doesn't matter (to me). It's the fact that he's turned it into a propaganda machine for his own political agenda that has turned myself and so many others off of the platform

richardsickels.bsky.social•112 days ago

Elon is a big part of it for me.

From him owning it, to him making money off me being there, to how he purposefully inundates users with his own messages whether we want to see them or not...

I'm done with it.

Hopefully more people continue to come here. The last week has been great.

tanoj.bsky.social•112 days ago

Elon owning it and completely changing the platform to push his influence is for me, the primary reason.

Other reasons are plenty. Bots, terrible ads, plenty of misinformation, and a general negative atmosphere. That site made me act more negatively than I wanted to.

Here's several reasons why I'm done with Twitter/X

brewpython27.bsky.social•112 days ago

Elon putting his thumb on the scale of every interaction on that place is the reason I left. That he's reduced my moderation abilities for my own timeline and inbox adds to it. Better for me to start building here with the groundswell than hope it dies slowly enough there for me to build there.

shikposting.bsky.social•112 days ago

other than elon owning it, not much reason at all.
but elon owning it itself is a huge reason because of the way he's changed the platform and its algorithms, especially regarding political content and engagement farming posts.
i have his account muted and I still consistently see him in my feed.

johnbosch.bsky.social•112 days ago

i had his account blocked and it would still find a way into my feed. that was usually how i realized the setting flipped to for you instead of following

shikposting.bsky.social•112 days ago

may be a hot take but i ended up enjoying the for you page more than I anticipated. at least up until it became a straight pipeline for the most insane people to blast my eyeballs.

the fact that he made himself unblockable and unmuteable is just pathetic.

johnbosch.bsky.social•112 days ago

i would imagine that’s a huge reason.

the why isn’t really something i care about to be honest. why doesn’t matter if the result bring enjoyment

fewer bots and ads. better interaction with actual humans. those are a couple of mine

johnbosch.bsky.social•112 days ago

leaving twitter doesn’t hurt elon. twitter isn’t about profitability for him. if it were he would do something to have actual companies advertise rather than a knock of temu every second msg in the timeline

johnbosch.bsky.social•112 days ago

as for it being the preferred platform for most people. yes that’s true. but as many of my post here and there have indicated recently quantity isn’t my concern. if folks are worried about follower count or impressions then twitter is for them. i’m not and it isn’t

johnbosch.bsky.social•112 days ago

and if i can encourage folks to give this a shot and they do and they enjoy it then maybe the shift continues and this place remains fun and twitter can remain exactly as it is. those seeking impressions have a place. those seeking engagement and fun can also have one
