Engagement or not, I'd prefer to be somewhere where everyone is not pissed off 24/7
Plus, lack of bots, lack of Musk, improvement of mental health, is just what the doctor fucking ordered.
people on twitter are so accustomed to instant gratification that once their epic spicy take gets five less likes than on bsky than on twitter they immediately call it an abysmal failure
I genuinely CANNOT stand how Twitter and other social media platforms encouraged this sort of awful behavior. I’m glad Bsky is giving us genuine human interaction again.
I dunno man, don't raise your pitchforks at me but I feel like being on a social media where people aren't constantly angry and arguing all the time is... a good thing?
Turns out when you're interesting and engage with your interests and hobbies you find like-minded people and can have genuine interactions but it's just easier to post shit like 'Knuckles is Sonic's Mother' and spend the day arguing with people who correct you.
This is the thing people don't get until they get it. Those 300 likes you have on whatever; half of them are bots, half of them will never engage, and a sliver of the whole will actually speak to you.
the engagement on bluesky kinda does suck to be honest, but I'm just here to post artwork rather than amass a whole following or anything. plus spending time on any social media site is gonna drain the hell outta you, so idk why OP had to specifically single out bsky here lol
i'll take a harmless echo chamber over some neo nazi manchild's toxic cesspool any day of the week lmao. I left twitter before elon even took over and it was one of the best decisions I ever made, everything i've seen on twt in the years since I left has shown me that I made the right choice

Wild theory I know, but just consider it.
DAMMIT
sure a fanart I post on xitter may get one bajillion likes but that shit feels so hollow compared to the actual comments you get here
...but that dopamine rush when u get Beeg Number...
That audience is gone, bro. It's over.
also bsky is a popular punching bag because "durrr echo chamber!!"
I only still leave it up to remind people to get the fuck over here
