i sure hope that bluesky will be one of those places where ppl wont be afraid/shy to talk to each other esp artists (i am also at fault for being quiet, holding back comments and such but i will try to work on it) like ye olden internet days

I find that I don't reply as much anywhere because I always see artists expressing their peeve with how many people approach them with things they do not care about, and I do not want to unknowingly be a part of it π
Though bsky has been quite positive from what I've seen!
damn, i havent seen that said before, i can understand if its maybe repeat questions or stuff that has nothing to do with their piece maybe? curious.
and same, even with less people here than any other site im on currently, folks here seem to be bubbly friendly and chatty which is amazing honestly
i struggle with this so much, but for some reason is much easier here already. i feel less intimidated or awkward. i think it comes from other socials where a lot of interactions are ruined by bots and βfake nicetiesβ for f4f tactics
I GET UUU always got to remind myself that I'm not being annoying literally just being a person, i honestly think it comes from my low self-esteem/worth ππ
Yeah self-esteem issues are a bitchhπ remember, you're great, I'm great, we're all great, when I feel annoying I often just think really hard about the fact that like EVEN IF I'm awkward, like... Nobody's going to shoot me, a SWAT team will not show up for being a little weird accidentally it's okay
i feel you, i get anxious at times that i am not 'holding' the conversation appropriately or sth but have no idea how to fix it and just get in my head about it ΰΌΰΊΆβ βΏβ ΰΌΰΊΆ
Honestly thank you, I often need a reminder that if I like art... I should comment! I'm not an artist but artists are themselves often the ones who inspire me to be more confident and feel just generally good! I'm so easily spooked of internet interactions that I often end up stuck lurking forever
It's so much easier to talk to people over here since it feels like everyone's starting from scratch. There's none of that second guessing about talking to strangers over here and complimenting people especially since everyone's so nice.
ohh that makes sense. we're in this together. thats what it is. it's an actual shared experience for once and everyones excited for it, at least thats how it seems so far :'))
Iβve actually gotten much more chatty on Bluesky! Used to honestly be anxious to interact on other platforms, especially the bird site, but being on here has been so healing!
Definitely internet fatigued, and terrified of annoying people with my existence, so I've learned the ways of the lurker. Also trying to stay sane by making sure I touch grass more often than a keyboard, but I'm trying to engage more too. I've missed this kind of place.

Here's hoping companies start to realize we're all sick of algorithms.
