The new normal. - ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

The new normal.

I will try to read out messages to my LBC show from this site today. If I get any...

Comments

All those years on Twitter, all those Tweets are now but a faint memory. I cannot even remember the conflicts now. Mastodon has healed me and I'm now ready to venture into some Bluesky thinking. Trump is still an arsehole though, as is Farage.

For now, and hopefully for a long time, this place seems calmer.

Our council brought a golf club a few years ago for millions, looks like their going to lose millions on it so the building which was our youth club has been closed for years, is an eyesore in the town but the councillors golfing handicaps have probably improved.

aranldh.bsky.social•112 days ago

Thanks James, so glad to be shut of the swamp app now ❤️

richardfordshow.bsky.social•112 days ago

Listening from France, James.
🇪🇺👍🏻🦋

scm-author.bsky.social•113 days ago

Been here an hour and found nothing! Absolutely nothing to be enraged about! Utterly infuriating! ;D

birminghamkav.bsky.social•113 days ago

Your feet smell. (Does that help?)

scm-author.bsky.social•112 days ago

I've no doubt they do but I'm an ultra walker so it's to be expected.

nvgg.online•113 days ago

That makes me so angry!

scm-author.bsky.social•113 days ago

That's ok. This is a safe place. You vent, I'll laugh. Everyone wins.

kuyvonbraun.bsky.social•113 days ago

It feels like something good is being built here.

It's exciting 💜

helenfcreative.bsky.social•113 days ago

There you are!! I was almost tempted back to The Bad Place for you guys.

benjamin-knight.com•112 days ago

Huzzah!

snoopy73.bsky.social•113 days ago

Joined Bluesky yesterday, so glad you are on here

bhoy100.bsky.social•113 days ago

Just deactivated my X. Fu©k Musk...

sweetbenfica.bsky.social•113 days ago

This is a safe space. For now anyways

systemofadan30.bsky.social•112 days ago

It’s nice not having a “for you” page absolutely rife with wild far right shite, like over on Twitter.

A throwback to the good old days when I wasn’t inundated with pro-Trump bollocks, and I didn’t know what I was doing whilst looking for friends.

primeshade.bsky.social•113 days ago

Like any other ex: fondly remembered but now best avoided.

mmargol.bsky.social•113 days ago

You went from 45k followers, to 50k this morning, to close to 60 just now!

michaelblueskyone.bsky.social•113 days ago

This seems bot free here with great people

jbwolves.bsky.social•113 days ago

Think it’s a good idea, bringing more attention to the platform 👏🏻

spinningoutloud.bsky.social•113 days ago

Normal levelled-up.

It’s good.

And this is my 2nd-time-around virgin tweet! Lucky you 😂

judy66.bsky.social•113 days ago

Hello James x

chrismcquillan.co.uk•113 days ago

Good!

wabsnazsm.bsky.social•113 days ago

There seem to be "Alternative Normals."

daviduknorthwest.bsky.social•113 days ago

Interestingly I am now getting more notifications here, than at the other place.

paulriver.bsky.social•113 days ago

No ads, no Far Right idiots, so far, so good.

petercon1.bsky.social•113 days ago

Just joined. Yours is the first account I've followed

kieranswalsh.bsky.social•113 days ago

Thanks for doing this! Always really respect you!

muxley14.bsky.social•113 days ago

I've just joined. So far, so good!

vox-casei.bsky.social•113 days ago

Fantastic news.

Hope to see others drop X over the next few as well.

lindamarric.bsky.social•113 days ago

I know it’s hard to give up on 1 million followers, but trust me this is for the best.

guard-ian.bsky.social•113 days ago

Oh…

Can this be partially labelled twexit?

victoria1921.bsky.social•112 days ago

I left Twitter months ago because of Musk but I am so pleased to be here with 'normal' and friendly familiar faces again. Great to see you already have so many followers James.

lairdscottfleming.bsky.social•112 days ago

Looking forward to Mystery Hour today. (Just testing this BlueSky thing too) Keep up the good work James!

simon1268.bsky.social•112 days ago

If all right minded content creators post mostly/only on here then the other place will die quickly.

dominic-watts.bsky.social•112 days ago

Are you abandoning X like all other sentient humans..?

wilfriedireland.bsky.social•113 days ago

Good start. I hope others still posting on X will soon come to the same conclusion.

inshado.bsky.social•112 days ago

People need to leave twitter/X to retain their dignity.

popcornreel.bsky.social•113 days ago

Definitely a good kind of normal. I too am going to be posting a lot more on here. And these places too (try them all, Sez too)

Bluesky - @ popcornreel

Good to see you on here James

nohostages.bsky.social•113 days ago

Woot!

ziggyman.bsky.social•112 days ago

He's trolling us, isn't he?

lexiconmistress.bsky.social•113 days ago

Can you persuade your buddy, Gary Burton, to come over here? He's one of the few twitter accounts I miss

themontrealer.bsky.social•113 days ago

Glad you're here. Very glad. And gives those of us outside the UK a way to reach out to your show now. 👍

sitebadger.bsky.social•113 days ago

That’ll do for me, good to see you here!

spikegb.bsky.social•113 days ago

10 year user of twitter here, who’s made the jump today as had enough of toxic nature of the old place.

heppy111.bsky.social•113 days ago

Far better than what the old normal has become.

hammy123.bsky.social•112 days ago

I’ve come here because you have. Twitter binned.

social-hell.uk•113 days ago

Needs more Satan

docfrylock.bsky.social•112 days ago

At least it's not a pornbot and nazi hellscape
Oh, and Matt Gaetz? I mean, really? He makes Liz Lettuce look like a mensa member

💥HOT ABERDEEN ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE PICS IN BIO💥

2000manbelfast.bsky.social•113 days ago

It's surprising how easily you can forget about whatsitsname

mistergrumbo.bsky.social•113 days ago

Joined today after your show!

burpleman.bsky.social•113 days ago

Shall I periodically send you a Temu advert to avoid you having to go cold turkey?

dorsetrab.bsky.social•113 days ago

Lolz they were so annoying especially the dog with the glasses 🤓

gifgirlannie.bsky.social•113 days ago

robhughes260.bsky.social•113 days ago

Excellent news

caroww.bsky.social•113 days ago

“If you get any”?! Really glad to see you here. You have been a beacon of light in the other place but it is beyond awful now

adamwrightson.bsky.social•113 days ago

X is, I suppose, slowly becoming almost exclusively idiots corner.

I encourage dabbling on there occasionally for the odd laugh James.

lupuslondonwolf.bsky.social•113 days ago

Good to see you over here finally 😊 make sure your content moderation filters are correctly set up 😉

leeeyres.bsky.social•113 days ago

someone call Abby Normal...

colinthomas.bsky.social•112 days ago

Can’t quite accept it…I’m waiting to be ambushed…

rockyrocky7.bsky.social•112 days ago

Dumped that place ages ago. Glad to see you here @mrjamesob.bsky.social Let's leave the old world behind.

bobbyrollar.bsky.social•113 days ago

You were one of only 2 people I still needed Twitter to follow. Glad you’re gone from it!

sujoh.bsky.social•113 days ago

Who was the other one?

gifgirlannie.bsky.social•113 days ago

ayosands.bsky.social•113 days ago

Thank you for the invite, hopefully the bulldog avatars and billy bunch of numbers will be in check on here.

thevoiceoftreason.bsky.social•112 days ago

I hate that phrase! Just my little joke James case you were wondering! Now must get back to Question Hour.

thisisjezza.bsky.social•113 days ago

Missed the show today James. Hope it worked out for you. 👍🏼

gazcart.bsky.social•113 days ago

What fresh hell is this?

Looking at US politics as a clue. Specifically what Trump has said.

paulduthoit.bsky.social•113 days ago

Glad you are here James. Not long now until you can dump X and Musk Muppets.

rotal.bsky.social•113 days ago

James, would your employer allow you to give a little plug for Bluesky? Twould be nice to hasten the demise of Xitter.

craigthewriter.bsky.social•113 days ago

He did it on today's show.

It'll no doubt lead to shouts of 'two tier social media use' or some similar bollocks.

malsmart.bsky.social•113 days ago

where will you get your Idiots corner from now?

nohostages.bsky.social•113 days ago

Text and WhatsApp will, no doubt, fill the void.

malsmart.bsky.social•113 days ago

It's a vital feature of the show 😄

gillsam1927.bsky.social•113 days ago

I’ll make sure I send one, I’m a bit daft though. So bear with me

jujnjury.bsky.social•113 days ago

Loving it. Always catch your show on YouTube after the event.

yvonneisi.bsky.social•113 days ago

A good normal 🧘🏽‍♀️

andywash.bsky.social•113 days ago

Glad you finally post somewhere other than Twitter now.

alighirl77.bsky.social•113 days ago

Oh, hello

katieest1.bsky.social•113 days ago

Good.
If the racists shout in the woods with no one to hear them. When the tree falls on them, does anyone hear it? Or care?

heidimackay.bsky.social•113 days ago

Glad to see you here

sukhsingh.bsky.social•113 days ago

It’s also great to be here before the sewage tries to seep through any bluesky cracks…

sukhsingh.bsky.social•113 days ago

It’s ok James, it’s only me, what have you got to say…? 😜

gingernut49.bsky.social•113 days ago

If you're here now, James, it's truly time to leave Twatter.
