I’m still posting on Twitter (after all, I worked hard to get those 1.3 million followers, lol!), but I’ve stopped posting on Threads. That platform never really “clicked” for me.

I tried threads and at first it was great I got a feed of my interest. Then started to notice it was becoming a watered down version of X. But maybe that was just my feed 😂 but don’t know how I got there.
And by doing so you actively support the fascist platform because of 1.3 million followers. I understand your sentiment but I don’t like the thinking behind it.
I never tried threads but I'm glad I finally came here 2 days ago and the site works a lot like Twitter or flitter since the poor birdie is flittering.
I’m still looking and commenting some on Twitter but with my small account of 16.5k followers I was down to just over 15.2k last I checked. So I’m going to grow here and maintain what I have left there.
This is always going to be an issue on BlueSky until people like you come around. Please stop with the follower and engagement addiction.
Musk is counting on this.
There are programs you can use to transfer your entire tweet history here so you don't lose content (lose the likes, etc.)
So you are more worried about yourself and how many followers you have on Twitter. You continue to support Elon Musk because of your own self interest. Why are you even here? How hypocritical you are. It's easy to do the right thing, yet you can't. But I can unfollow you, and will now.
Post you are leaving the hell that helped ruin democracy and tell your followers to come here. Take a stand. It’s not about you anymore. It’s about your country and standing against the person who helped destroy it.
I may have deactivated my Twitter account prematurely, since I'd just sent a tweet out stating I'd moved here, but it seems to be working out given how popular Bluesky is & the exposure it's getting in the news! Finding Twitter peeps here now!
I'm staying there for the people. I'm done commenting (mostly) on political, media, obvious troll twits. The next few years will be rough enough, don't need to add in the hate. Plus I'm one of those people who needs to see some good. Other than the friends I've made & my sports feeds not much good
I'm looking to get many signers on this petition for peace. My father was in the Peace Corps when it first started. Pacem perpetuam et justam generi humano quaerimus. I stand with Ukraine!
Threads had potential, but they killed it by throttling any kind of political engagement. I can't even "like" a post, even if it has nothing to do with politics and is just a cute dog picture or something, if Threads' algorithm think I've liked too many posts for the day. Way too controlling.
Threads is as bad as Twitter, and maybe worse as they hinder political speech and suppress posts with links, among other suppressive tactics. Nah, Zucks app is almost as bad as Twitter is.
Well encourage those followers to come over here. Leave that blue check mark behind, you're just funding Elon. That would be an amazing Exodus for that many followers to leave because of one account
I haven't deactivated my X account either. I haven't posted for a few reasons, but there are still wonderful people on X who I want to keep in contact with. Hopefully many more make the move.
Same. I need a few more to come to the light and then I’m deactivating. The comment section is disturbing over there. The nastiest I have ever seen. No thanks.
I've heard it's horrible. I had one nasty comment when I wrote post and I can't even write what was said to me. I haven't been able to write since on there.

Boo to you on posting on Twitter. I left my 2,003 behind but they're all here on Bluesky! I'll find them or they'll find me and we'll be as happy as we can be!!!
Curiosity question. Do you interact with your followers or do you expect interaction to be one way? Asking for a friend. (Not really. I’m asking for myself) I intend to limit the number of public information posters. No answer is an answer. (js)
Same, left Twitter 2 weeks ago and don't regret it. Tried Threads for 2 weeks, just didn't feel the same. BlueSky, now have over 1k followers that I have something in common with. Love it here!
Just deleted my account on threads. was suspended from twitter because i posted “wrong Trump” when Ivana passed! Hopefully Bluesky will be different🇺🇸✌🏻😎
Same for me. I never developed Threads account like I did Twitter. Ill be happy once I get everyone followed here so X can be nothing but a bad memory to peak in in occasionally.
It took so long for Threads to come up with a browser interface that they lost whatever momentum they had. I'm not surgically attached to my phone. And then it felt more like a temporary refuge.
Same here. I found Threads' algorithms to be almost as annoying as Musk's, not to mention the bugs! I was getting suspended every few days & after appealing, always got the, "Sorry, we sometimes make mistakes" notice. I never run into those bugs here!
I never was a threads fan. Most of my social media is mainly for advocating for shelter dogs. I hope many of those find their way here so we can help more dogs.
Threads seems to be THEE personal crisis problem solving & venting channel of the social media platforms I visit. 🤷♀️ It's ok when you're in the mood for scrolling the "you got this" crowd.
I’m only half-assed there for now. And I’m not responding to any MAGA and immediately blocking them. I’ll probably delete it next week. Damn after 15 years! Oh well.
I've kind of kicked threads to the curb since I started here. It's much more inviting and like you said, feels like home again. I'll probably never get to the numbers I had on twitter but at least I feel seen again.

It's simply time to break from the grift
It's just a number

I'm still over there and liking and retweeting you.
Don't know how much longer that platform will have before going complete Nazi.
Never gave Threads much effort.

See my page I reposted how
Granted it’s been only a few days
And I feel you Jon
And I don’t even know if there is monetization for the people that do this full time but in the end for me it’s about mental health
Plus, Meta is gross.
You followed me back on x
Have I displeased you ... 🥺🫤😞
Lies.
So I deleted my Meta accounts. Gave me the creeps.

Well, I'll follow you only when you've permanently left the tweetsite.

If they're truly followers, they'll find you here.
Cut the cord, man.
✊️🤠
Hopefully you’re able to cut the cord at some point and stop giving Elon the attention your account brings.
Cheers!

Now this place… this place feels like home.
