It all depends on the moderation but it does feel like most cool things get co opted. Whoever owns bluesky will be the one to set the town on what they allow or not and if they let it get overrun with bot farms and focused propaganda/brainwashing attempts. Primary concern is probably money tho
Already seeing Luddite cliques and snotty replies to innocuous things, unfortunately. With 20M people, it's inevitable that a few obnoxious characters will creep in. But overall, the vibe is much friendlier and kinder here so far.
We can't allow fear & anger to take away hope & joy. X sucks away promise of the Preamble, sadly full of what we do not need or want to see. Write your joy!
Same, I just like palling around with people and seeing what they got going on. And I’m genuinely invested. Doesn’t make me feel bad, weird, doomed or anything.
Imagine the glory. Great smile btw. Keep it on your face. At the very best you will make someone's day at the very least it will make people wonder what you are up too.
Unfortunately i think that it‘s only a question of time before we get tired of this or fascists get tired of twitter and come here to harrass normal people
I just hope it doesn’t go the way of Threads. This feels nice though. I like being at ground zero. Let’s hope the inevitable negativity of humanity doesn’t drag this place down too much.
how about you share some love so we get the feeling its not X hahahaha but you guys with your million Followers must offer something regular accounts dont have .. share the secret
Me too. Every time I accidentally open X on autopilot I freak out a little because it's so toxic, and then I realize, close it and come back to the light.
I'm really liking having some form of control over the algorithm. I hate how on meta's apps it feels like changing my feeds can sometimes be insurmountable.
ME TOO, RAY. IN MY FOREVER TRUMPOCRACY (trademark), EVERY DAY WILL BE JOYOUS. FIRST LADY ELON WILL TEND TO THE ROSE GARDENS, AND I TO THE MCDONALDS DRIVE THRU. ALL WILL PROSPER!
I just got here, and even though I don't anyone IRL here, I keep checking it for my fav news and info sites. It's like I was in a septic tank, and I finally got out.
Feels good, less people just spam posting to farm engagement for ad rev.
Actually feel like I can engage and have conversations with people.
Meeting people is my soul purpose of social media and far too often have platforms like X promoted just posting to get paid..
I look for starter packs for stuff I’m interested in via search and follow people from there, rinse and repeat till you got stuff and people you like in the TL. Have fun!
I find myself opening it more and more. I will do my part for sure if I want to speak about "controversial" stuff I'll stick to other apps. This app should remain #clean
This app feels like a rare, cosy corner of the internet—no chaos, just vibes. It's like finding a warm café where everyone’s cool and the barista knows your order. Let’s protect this sacred space and keep the energy alive. For real, this is it! 🫶✨

Of course all these apps eventually devolve, but we can move on when the time comes.
A pity about Mastodon, but...

@robertflorence.bsky.social
find something else besides calling these skeets

We just have to hope the site runners themselves don't sell us out later on
I don’t want to use Bluesky for any political stuff, though. X has become so boring.
But gooodddd

Facebook and Twitter started getting on my nerves yeeears ago and I decided to delete both accounts… glad I did. ♥️
