What did Elon expect that we wouldn't find out he was customizing the AI to push right-wing politicians and conspiracy theories towards our timelines? He is dumb and severely underestimated our intelligence. This site will be bigger than X soon enough.
There are 70 million morons in America, Trump told them what he would do, be a dictator. They want to burn it all down, but the fire will start in their jobs, houses and cars. Tariffs and deportations mean inflation and high interest rates. That's ok, since the midterm elections will be rigged.
That's apples an oranges. ALSO the only people offended are nazi's. If an AI makes a picture of a nazi and its a black woman and you get upset, its not about historical accuracy, its about nazi's being made fun of which we should all always do
I get there will be a tipping point for counting users, but one of the best things (so far) at @bsky.app is quality over quantity. If exponential numbers of bot accounts show up to pad stats here, that’ll change the UX. And not for the better.
I wonder if the people deleting are ones who are seeing how much they're blocked and not wanted 🤔
I think it's good for people to see how many people have blocked them. It'll be humbling for them to finally see how unpopular they are. Thanks, block lists!
I left and deleted mine because of their change to their rules about ownership of my art I post he (musk) can go to hell if he thought if just hand over my work for his AI that plus the crap from JD about punishing the EU for daring to enforce its laws against X
I thought I would have trouble deleting it. Bluesky made it easy. Finding the people I enjoy following are here, making new resistance friends.
Plus I do not trust EM one gotta. He bought the election and his updates on Twit can not be trusted.
Could be sooner than eight months.
Due to tos changes over there, I am backing up my account to delete it..been on that platform since it was new. Was just going to just observe. But, not now.
Not going back!
I'm one of many who deleted Twitter and came across to Bluesky. Why would you want to put up with ads, misinformation, bots, a pathetic blocking system and abuse?
I hope it does better than X. Elon doesn’t care about his users at all. Just ignores most apart from the accounts he escalates. Hope BlueSky rivals it.
Don't worry, this app won't make it that long with how much censorship and lack of real free speech it has. Everyone will move back to X soon and you'll be left here alone in your boring echo chamber, leaving you more confused as to why things you don't like are happening around you :)
X is censoring people. People are looking for alternatives due to that as well. I’m still on X but looking for somewhere where we CAN express ourselves. It won’t happen on X if the algos suppress you. 🤷
Of course they're censoring people. I never said it was perfect. You can express yourself on both places...but, you're wrong if you think this is a more inclusive social media app....it's just one that coddles you more.
Well just been here a few days, but no point in putting your ‘eggs in 1 basket’ if it isn’t working for you. So all is good! Let the winning platform prevail!
Can't argue with that! I can also add that it's a bit of fresh air not having so many comment farmers and ads here...so it's got that going for it. Hope you have a great day!
Again, I’m doing mindfulness through despair. And instead of doomscrolling I’m gettin a good mix here of opportunities and optimism, with some sad realities. Do what we can now, it’s only getting harder from here in the near future. I’m engaging sometimes just to do my part to boost it.
Now John, you're very funny and you make me laugh. Have you noticed how ugly Donald Trump really is? He looks just like he smells. He needs a proctologist to take his head out of his ass where I put it. How about President Miller? Isn't he funny? He's funny looking too.
I still have my Twitter account but will no longer actively use it. When I posted on it that I’ve joined Bluesky, I was notified that they were reviewing my account for a blue checkmate (which I already have). I definitely triggered and offended someone over there.
And I just love that people feel so empowered that they can confidently ditch their X accounts (no matter how many followers they have) and start afresh in a safe environment that has a community feel and is also properly moderated.
I'd rather we not absorb every Xitter user, since that would include the MAGA's, the cantankerous little cretins are already leaking over and it's exhausting.
Does musky really care? He bought Twitter at a financial loss. Once tfg gets installed, X and Truth Social will merge. They will continue to feed the base.
@steventdennis.bsky.social just heard about @bsky.app the other day when @joyannreid.bsky.social announced she moved over to the platform so I am sure there's many others that don't even know it exists yet! The FB trend of folks posting their new handles is also reconnecting people!
Imagine paying for a blue tick tho. At first people over there were sooo against it, then they all started doing it anyway, and in the end these types of people will join here too
Good. Let them wallow. I don't care about platforms having a dick measuring contest. BS is perfect as it is. The nazi trolls will get bored with being blocked soon enough and we can carry on without them.
I haven’t used Twitter in years, but I made an account here when I heard it wasn’t a cesspool. I imagine there are more coming to bsky who couldn’t stand using Twitter.
I joined Twitter when the orange menace started running the first time. I could only last about 10 minutes before I couldn't tolerate the hate from the maga morons.
So far Bluesky is a welcome change. I hope X becomes worthless. I deleted Twitter yesterday.
Well twitter can't really survive without its left half. Lefties are richer now, further no one wants to advertise with nazis on the site. Decreasing the user base is now basically nuking their revenue.
You realize truth and X will become the exact same platform this way, rendering one of them obsolete? I dont care which one, they both can burn in hell
Again, that's not data- actual numbers. I don't dispute that there are many right wing members on X, but I've seen no data that they are the majority of users.
I’m pretty sure most of X users are bots. X was definitely going downhill since Elon. I had no place to go at the time, but after the election I stopped using it. I found out about Bluesky yesterday, deleted my X account. So far it’s been great, I am slowly finding the accounts I used to follow.
Bro leave our echo chambers alone. You have Twxtter, Trxth Social, 4chan, 8chan, black web, etc.. We’ve been in their echo chambers for long enough.
Don’t worry though, your “free speech and dialogue” will be here soon.
Faster than that. 15 million of us, and counting. I didn’t leave Twitter recently. I can’t believe anybody still stuck around after his sink incident. What a petulant twit he is. Hope it tanks
Threads had 100 million in 5 days, but surprise surprise, this rate didn't continue every week. It's nonsense to assume this high spike in BlueSky signups will continue steadily for the next 8 months straight.
Good luck with that bro. X has 611 million users. This leftist echo chamber currently has 20 million. Unlike you, most people like to live in reality where people disagree and we’re not all friends. This place is seriously weird. Everyone agrees on everything here. That’s not reality.
You can disagree or even argue - not a problem. But it doesn't hurt to be polite. No need for the personal trash. And Twitter took 6yrs to get to 100m. There's time.

Every generation gets the call to defend the Light from the Darkness.
The Darkness just showed everyone in America who and what he is, and what he plans to do to America--unless we stop him.
I refuse to abandon the Light!
It's our turn.
I think it's good for people to see how many people have blocked them. It'll be humbling for them to finally see how unpopular they are. Thanks, block lists!
Once there's no one left but trolls, grifters, and bots, I don't see how it can survive.
Plus I do not trust EM one gotta. He bought the election and his updates on Twit can not be trusted.

Not going back!
Starting with "chrome extension" lol.
Or he'll offer to buy this platform for $20 billion.
When I input my pword it says it’s wrong but It’ll let me log in though. 😭
Would be great to have rationale, well behaved conservatives in here for an honest exchange of ideas.
Respectful disagreements should be part of any viable conversation. Not talking past each other.
Let's hope for the best.
apartheid guy is a narcissistic, bullying loser
Growth doesn't work in a predictable pattern like you imply.
I shouldn’t joke about that🥺
feeling real goog
feeling momentun again
we’re gonna need it……///.
This place seems more lively than Twitter these days.
Look out, it's about to crush and burn.
Ummm…. Maybe it’s because you’ve been pre-blocked?
So far Bluesky is a welcome change. I hope X becomes worthless. I deleted Twitter yesterday.
Don’t worry though, your “free speech and dialogue” will be here soon.
PS: Do you follow back too? I'm a long time follower over there and now following you here as well🤗
