It's amazing how the atmosphere and actual work of this platform is vs X. I just get random DONT'CHA WANNA LOOK?! notifications from accounts I don't follow and I literally just swiped away a post about 70 people being brutally (something) on my phone, and why?

yeah ive finally just installed twitter from my phone and its helped my brain so much lol

And here? You never get that. There are no unsolicited posts just throwing themselves at me from Bluesky.

It isn't trying to get my to fear-respond or shock-respond or rage-respond to things just being sent to me.

X is no way to be... live... any of it.

It’s so refreshing. It’s social media that doesn’t make me feel doom and gloomy for using.

I mean, you do still get those post every now and then, but unlike before, you can just unfollow said person or even just hide that post and not have to deal with it. It's way better than on Twitter.

It's greener grass and bluer skies over here

I don't even browse on X anymore because it always ends with me being upset x_x

I've found it helpful to keep it strictly to 'following' rather than 'for you.' Of course, that's just my experience.

Being on that accursed app feels like a tooth and claw fight
"Have you heard THIS new reason to be angry and miserable All The Time???"

So true. I enjoy my time here on Bluesky, take the time to reach through threads & replies. It's comforting.

Honestly, my mental health feels a lot better since abandoning there and just being exclusively here, too

I understand you,Twitter always gives me a lot of anxiety, I have blocked many people but I am worried that they can see what I do, there is too much toxicity, is a container of contagious negative energy, but here, I have more interaction with my mutuals, my followers and more, BS is a blessing

I actually get to see people I like on my timeline, and not anything pushed into my face because someone paid for it. Curation is king here, and I love it. Also, good to see you on here!

I actually really like the fact you can hide Trending on here. It helps with any anxiety and it lets me interact or just chill on here for a bit before going back to what I was doing. Instead of Twitter which tries to keep you sucked in for as long as possible. Ya know?

This is one of the many reasons that I had to uninstall and delete my Twitter account.
This is so much more peaceful than Twitter in every way.
I just wish that more of the creators that I followed over there would come here.

Being on here and not on the Norted Birb app has been the best experience ever! As I said to everyone, the sky's so much clearer here ☺️🌌

The rage bait game on twit is incomparable.

my block list is crazy long.

caesarazealad.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’ve clipped most social media from my life. I like this one, it gets to stay for now. I can set it so I only see the cool artists I follow and if anything annoys me the block function is always at hand.

The Feeds option is great when I just want to see art or FFXIV posts.
