we’ve had a whole lot of twitter exoduses before but this one sure feels sustainable in a way others have not, it doesn’t seem to be slowing down and I’m seeing a whole lot of communities on here I’ve never seen before
I hope everyone stays

We’ve hit the critical mask to constitute that. 🔥
I don't really mind ads tho. Folks gotta make money. It's just that at Elon's it was all just drop shippers because he scared away the more decent companies
2: Go to your followers list on X
3: launch the extension and log into bluesky through it.
4: run the extension and get a coffee or tea - it will take 10 minutes.
5: follow all the accounts it finds.

We’ve worked hard to build something different.
#fightfascism
The Facebook Twitter era of the internet was weird and not normal
Swifties are who finished it off
This is more chill and I can use the app for whatever I want and not have some nazi in every comment 24/7
Which on balance is probably a good thing, but there are definitely drawbacks.
Here’s an animation of this place and the other place.
But my god it's trash now
It's unusable
I can’t figure out why I’m hesitant to cancel Elon. Turn the page I guess 🤷♀️☺️
There'll be no going back.

Still trying to find my footing here, but it sure doesn't seem like the hells cape Twitter was (I'll never call it by it's new Elon name)
I suspect starter packs and feeds also help by letting newcomers hook into their "tribe" more easily.
I hope it doesn't degrade the norms here.
And (what I find most galling) so many are claiming Bluesky expertise and prestige w/o more than a month's experience here.
We'll have to fight hard for our norms.
We have to let them simmer in the Bluesky soup for a bit to realize that the norms here are way closer to Twitter 2012 than to X 2022.
I LIKED Twitter 2012 and I LIKE this place.
I wish more people agreed with me.
I heard about the current influx & came back. I like it now!!
Maybe they all need the money from M**k
I can breathe
Also because Twitter/X is now all slime.
real shout out to the devs for putting all the pieces together & folks like @erinbiba.bsky.social who're tirelessly doing resource education
I should have done this long long ago
Each time Musk did something stupid, it primed Bluesky with more foundational users. Eventually, one of those points would break the ice.
Imagine my surprise when I joined and there's dozens of posts welcoming all the new people.
and that in turn is finally lending critical mass to bluesky and people's whole social circles are moving, which means they're less likely to drift back

Starve X. Join the X-odus.
But not leaving x-twitter, as I feel the need to defend/fight for Democracy "over there".
Hope you will stay "over there"as well?
💙💙💙🌈🌈🌈💙💙💙
But see a dumb take? Get it out of your life.
Fuck that website
My bad place account will be gone in probably 24 days which I’m quite good with.
For real this time.
Deactivated. *poof*
Gone.
*sulks*
