Absolutely. I quit/deleted my Twitter before the election but hadn’t logged in since 2021. This is a breath of fresh air. I was an early adopter. Had a Twitter since 2008 when I was a sophomore in high school. Sad to see it go but happy to watch it leave.
On threads I was having to block even more than I did on Instagram.
I rarely block here thanks to the block lists.
It's so nice.
I really like it here.
As someone who never had an account on the other site, the amount of times I’ve seen this posted here already is wild! I will never understand but it’s encouraging to see people are finding positive support here 🫶🦋
Bc so far it's just us who want to escape Twitter, just wait till they got here. But I hope the algorithm here is better, like TikTok who understands your interest.
True, I don't know what to do about the callous I developed on my block finger from all the Boris Botinov's & Troll's I was having to hammer over on the plucked chicken.
Hi it’s Oregon_Resister (Roxanne) from that other place. Would you follow me? I’m not sure how everything works here but it’s great to find someone I know.
I ran across a couple of MAGA trolls in comments yesterday. I didn’t engage and just blocked them. If we refuse to interact as they try to push their way in and block or report them, we can keep this app pretty clean. 😂
I hate to bring any negativity here, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried that they will do all they can to turn this into the same cesspool of hate if we let them.
Hope we can figure out a good way to prevent that.
I’m being told “bluecrew is a cult”, (I thought we were all bluecrew fighting for democracy) people aren’t vetting and are following back rump supporters. . . my first 3 days here not so good 😟
I was starting to get just as terrible right back to those people and that's not how I wanna be.. Glad to leave that dump. I shut it down tonight and I already feel less weighted 👍 TikTok is my main dive online, but so far so good here!
Mine weren't necessarily hateful as it was inappropriate comments made to those who I followed and then having to wave through the junk posts to get to those I wanted to read and those I wanted to communicate with.
Hey, Darth. Can you follow my GF Andrea? She has given up on Social media, but I am trying to show her that BS is different. It would mean a lot to me. You're not obligated of course. I just want for her to know that the world is not shit. You know what I mean...
As someone curious of this platform, I was surprised by people’s comments. Many saying nasty things about the other side and then at same time saying this is a more peaceful place? I don’t get it? Would it not be better to listen to each other ?
I agree!
So nice to see so many familiar accounts too!
I have less than 2000 followers at the other place, so know it will take time to meet people here. I tend to lurk, like & re-post, hope that's not annoying.
If you get me talking I might not shut up, I lean towards sarcasm, but try to be nice.
I found the Starter Pack lists enormously helpful to start following accounts here. I wonder if developers could work on a MAGATroll Block-em Pack? Because you KNOW they're going to (already have!) start setting up accounts here in their futile efforts to "own the libs."
Yes but I would like more company on this platform. I don’t intend to leave x but once my football club makes appearance on here. I will definitely be on here more. Hopefully this one doesn’t fail like Google+ did.
What a breath of fresh air. And we’re still waiting for the day where we wake up to the news that the house has dropped on the wicked witch of the east, too!

I think it is just a matter of time when we will embrace another wave of "freedom of speech"
Good to see you 💙💙
Glad to see you here,
Hope you follow me back
How about having an impartial platform for a start
It was a bot beast train wreck.

Some really nice people out there 🤦♀️🙄
Hope we can figure out a good way to prevent that.
We can breathe a sigh of relief.
Miss seeing your posts when I got banned from Twitter!
