I don’t know what to post here. Just don’t even know what to use as my profile pic. It feels like moving into a new house and having no furniture. I don’t like it =\

But like moving into a new house, you eventually get settled, meet the neighbours, and realize you’ve moved from a rough neighborhood into a much kinder and quieter community. We are so happy to see you here :)
Maybe just fitness posts? And.. if you have a domain you can make that your name w/o the extra bsky dot blah blah.. say if you had sherage dot com .. that could be set as your @
Honestly, the same stuff you post on Twitter. It’s the same community, same format, just with better moderation tools and no one paying to get their posts boosted by an algorithm.
you’ll come to enjoy it here once you find others who you enjoy seeing and connecting with! 💌 this space is so much nicer and welcoming than what the other unfortunately turned into
See, but that's also the cool thing. You get to put in new furniture. Hell, you can even build a new house if you want. Me I figured I would just turn my weirdness back up to 11, make what I want to make, and be happy with it.
Change is good, you will find your voice, don’t worry.
It’s a really nice house, I can understand why you feel this way. TBH you sound a lot like my Spanish friends who came to the US after the fall of Franco. They adapted to the freedom just fine too.
you can post exactly the same as you did before, and since everyone is new here you can repost previous cosplays and stuff. if you keep posting to twitter too just literally copy and paste same thing here lol
Do whatever you like and don't stress about the reaction from others. If there is a social media website that you can do that with these days other than Bluesky, I would like to know what it is.
And if negative folks pop up? You can block them so they can't see or talk to you, and you don't have to see them or talk to them. It's great. There's a bunch of lists of "asshole blockers" you can download to help out.
As a fan of your talking about working out, cosplay, and ADHD, I am delighted to see you here!
I totally understand it being a new place, full of weird people (*points to self*) and blank space, but honestly, just be yourself (… and block the trolls & haters proactively).
Welcome!

A pile of messy blankets to sleep in, a scratched up glass, a nicked plate, napkins from a fast food joint, a toothbrush - doesn't need to be pretty or tidy, just needs to be borderline livable >:D
But it’s a new house, in an amazing, super friendly and super supportive neighbourhood. Don’t worry about furniture, just grab a coffee and sit on your front steps, and enjoy watching the world go by. :)
This is petty but I HATE the format of the usernames on here lol. Really hoping they eventually remove the .bsky.social from the end of everyone’s names. Drives me nuts
Short version - The Bsky team wrote the protocol first and released all of their server stuff as open source. It is possible for others to run their own servers and some already do.
Think of it as armor against takeover by a billionaire asshole.
You can actually point your name to your website, social, twitch - whatever. They want you to own your name here and don't hurt you for sending traffic off site (linking). Then your name directs to that.
You get used to it. But also you can change it to your own website, so you can be like claire.max or something. Don't ask me how, some of these nerds will know
If you want a domain, I’m sure someone (me for instance, but probably don’t entrust it to some rando, but I could make an account and sign it over to you) could set that up. Isn’t Chompy part computer? Maybe she can summon one.
There are tons of domain registrars. Squarespace is one of them. Pick any you like. A lot of people like namecheap. You don't need to make an actual site. https://domains.squarespace.com/domain-search
A lot of people are just sort of experimenting with posting some of the same things here as on the other place. It is definitely going to take some getting used to, but the relative dearth of ads & assholes is nice.
It feels weird to begin with, and it’s definitely less well formed in a lot of places. Really nice to see you posting here tho, even if it’s to say you don’t know what to post x
I haven't been called a single slur since I started posting here. Back on Twitter, I could post something about Waffles and some weirdo with a nazi anime girl profile pic would reply with a slur.
Hopefully, that remains like that and isn't because of a lack of numbers. Twitter went downhill when you would report some vile comment, and you're told it's not broken any rules.
I had a Nazi(I didn't call him that he called himself that) tell me he wanted to send me to a concentration camp. So I replied with this photo and said "We know how to deal with your kind."
My account got banned, but theirs didn't. Twitter cares more about the feelings of nazis than anyone else.
Just think of it like twitter, but without Elon Musk and MAGA trolls. As someone that is planning on deleting their Twitter account with in a year that's how I see BlueSky.
God knows it’s weird. I started by finding the people I was following on Twitter and just let my feed make me feel normal. Then again I’m a lot more passive on Twitter posts than you are.

I’m considering using when I get bored with the one I’m used and now. It’s all yours if you want it. https://www.eso.org/public/images/eso2008a/
You are going to be proud of us the next time we see each other. Vy has been kicking my ass in the gym.
It’s a really nice house, I can understand why you feel this way. TBH you sound a lot like my Spanish friends who came to the US after the fall of Franco. They adapted to the freedom just fine too.
Just post memes, cosplay, anything. Whatever you post elsewhere I guess

It's like, do I go back to old me or do I reinvent and get creative
Or do I stay in that between phase of bog witch
Technically forest witch/hermit, sadly no bogs in my area but close enough
You didn’t ask for advice, but if you want some: just treat it like Twitter/X and it’ll go great 🤷♂️
And welcome, I was missing your posts since I left the other place.

Anyways welcome 🖖
People are a lot nicer over here so far!
I don’t know a good way to explain it concisely, other than something like… think of torrent downloads, but as social media.
Also, same.
(Find attached convenient profile pic)
I was just musing how much I missed your sword lesbian antics the other day.
Also, oh god X must have snapped in half by now if the big accounts are starting to try and build up on bluesky.
Show us your kitties please 🙏
My account got banned, but theirs didn't. Twitter cares more about the feelings of nazis than anyone else.
Glad to have you here though :) your twitter feed is what inspired me to start working out some.
maybe
idk
