After being afraid to speak my mind on Twitter for so long, it really is nice to be able to say stuff again. Being on Bluesky now, I feel a lot less anxiety whenever I go to click the post button.

I'm still on there only for one of my fave AO3 writers, ironic, and occasionally catch a whiff of dirty shit over there but its mostly ads anymore. And grifting paid for blue checks.
I would be filled with so much anxiety anytime a tweet would pop off, you would never know if it was going to be horrible or okay. This place is really great, a lot less drama & more respectful from what I have seen.
this is the most opinionated i've ever let myself be on the internet and its been such a surprise. idk what bsky does differently but GOD it's so much better than so much of the internet rn. idk how or why.
I think it has to do with a lot of the safety & privacy tools. Also it is a lot easier to curate your space here. I was convinced that Twitter still pushed out blocked & muted things just to keep people upset. It doesn't feel like that here, I never see things I have muted or blocked🥰

It’s liberating. Twitter had me in fear of drawing the attention of a larger DA/ME fandom account and being vaporized as a result.
And Reddit was entertaining enough but has the atmosphere of gladiatorial combat. For a few years that was fun, but it wears you down.
This… this is nice
