Just discovered the wonder of muted words and tags,
and my mind is so much more at peace,
to find that the next thing I’ll read won’t be a political thing,
but some dude trying to explain how a kite works to his dog
Why are you deadnaming X? Sorry, couldn’t resist it 😂
But seriously, the problem isn’t the platform, it’s human nature. We have evolved to compete with one another for control of resources. Nowadays we use sm instead of spears etc.
Just blocked them I see that crap. I just blocked these people. I’ll never see it again if they all get blocked and nobody responds hopefully they’ll go away.
Just want to remind people that you can "hide" a post that you do not like, so it doesn't keep coming up again and again. That's what I'm doing with that zombie image everyone is using. I don't want to see it, even though others have a right to post it.
Expect Musk to launch an all out bot and troll attack on Threads and Bluesky. I see an insane amount of negative comments on many sites where there was reasonable dialogue before.
I’m trying not to … but I saw a video over there of Piers Morgan interviewing Peter Thiel and Peter looks… scared. We should be celebrating that here lol.
It's just starting to feel like manufactured ''clickbait'' at this point with all the petty drama crap.
Like we're on the internet, you can literally find communities of thousands of people who obsessively hate dogs to a deranged degree.
Do we rly need to give them attention constantly tho?
I am not even joking either, there's large subs like this on reddit.
There's one for people who '' don't want kids '' and they spend all day shitting on parents and kids every day.
Dumb people will always exist, it doesn't mean they need to be given attention constantly.
I couldn't remember what it's called, I think there's a certain word for it that better describes it.
But basically it's a sub for people who hate children and people who have kids to a very unhealthy degree.
Point being you can find thousands of people who have any crazy fixation.
People just can't leave their fingers out of honey pot. I'd rather hear about what people are here for, but instead, 'look how awful this is argh!', yeah I know that's why I'm here.
We all?
Who are you, to limit the boundaries of "we all"?
I did not leave Twitter, because I was never there. "Former Twitter user" is not common ground for everyone on Bluesky. Your personal experience is not universal to 8 billion humans.
I unmute your comment and instantly recognize you as the first person I muted on this site because you kept showing up on my feed obsessively tweeting non-stop about culture war nonsense.
You're literally part of the problem, your behavior isn't normal.
What is hard to understand?
The person I responded to is one of the people who sit around obsessing over this culture crap drama constantly and reposting it from Twitter here.
I think they even have an account on Twitter where they do the same too.
Do y'all have reading comprehension issues or what?
You were one of the accounts I saw reposting culture war shit on Bluesky obsessively and you're still doing the thing.
You're one of the people who spread this crap everywhere you go.
The others who responded to me and liked your post too now do the same too.
You guys are the ones who are bringing it over to Bluesky too and keep signal boosting it.
Says the person blindly throwing around “culture war” accusations with zero context and flailing around “hurr durr reading comprehension lolz”. The shit you’re trying to start is exactly what we’re talking about leaving behind on Twitter so thank you for your bowl of irony today.
What context exactly would change it?
He's still reposting it here and ranting about Twitter accounts, what made me mute him originally was because he was literally reposting screenshots of it from Twitter.
I agree. We don't need Mueller, She Wrote, or Meidas or Lincoln Project or Bulwark...or any of those yappers keeping us pissed off but not convincing anyone else.
All I mean is - I’ll use my man @arrontk.bsky.social for example - he posts things about the situation that make me laugh, but on the other hand, I don’t want to see repeated screenshots of vile things being said over there😌
I left Twitter because I was tired of seeing people get targeted for the way they looked physically, their sexuality and their race. And I got tired of clicking on profiles that said “here to talk shit to make you quit” meaning the miserable lives people have.
Disagreement is not accepted on X, it’s either you absorb abuse or die or worship the evil lord of hate and stupidity. This is why we are all here. We can politely disagree about the reasons why people who voted for Trump are stupid without having to succumb to the same ignorance and hate.
Of piss off. No one was crying about echo chambers when GAB, Parler, and Truth Social launched.
This has never been about echo chambers. It's about conservatives finally realizing that the right to speak doesn't entitle them to an audience. And they're throwing a bit h fit over it.
No one is trying to make this an echo chamber, but nobody wants to deal with trolls. The majority of people on bluesky don’t have an issue with disagreement as long as the conversation is respectful.
Sometimes it's nice to see confirmation that your ex is still an ass, but like... with Twitter we know the dorks aren't gonna change. I already know what the discourse over there is because I've been there long enough, I don't need to see screenshots
Been seeing a lot of people talk about it over due to the last 24 hours and everytine all I can think is, "you're just preaching to the choir over here. There's no reason to say any of this."
Was enough for me to already know what they were saying just by guessing when I saw some of the trailers. I've avoided twatter it like the plague the past couple of months now 😂
Nah I’m all for disagreements and stuff but Twitter is a bag of shite that’s why we’re on this app. I dgaf if you think Ciri is ugly go make your own damn game
No. But from what I seen, arguments are flame free, civil, and above all else, productive. People have actually changed my mind here, and vice versa. Trolling and harassment aren't tolerated... Except for that asshole transphobe Jessie Singal, but that's another story. Just block that guy for now.
I don't care about x because I got banned permanently from that I don't know why. Because there's was some cry babies calling me a nazi because I got a helgast flag and I'm a fan of killzone. Damn they mistaken me as a Nazi 😆😆😆😆. And well it's funny.
Thank you for posting. I have posted similar several times in the few weeks I've been over here. I just either hide the post or block the poster if they are repeat offenders. I have also muted certain politicians, so I don't get the posts that are about those certain politicians. lol
There were many great points made there over the years that I don't want to blatently take credit for unlike many people here who just pop off with quotes that got a lot of reacts on twitter as if it were their own quote
I try and breathe and remember the algorithm (or lack of it) here will not continue feeding me hostility just because I replied to it once and then I feel better.
Cause those people can’t help but continue going there. In turn, they feel people wanna know the happenings of that dumpster fire even though we all don’t.
I don't like the "other side's dumb" posts because no shit. I want posts about the small things that can be done to get through the next four years. Less doom & gloom, more small-step solutions.
I left FB and Twitter (long before it was X) but I’ve still got my MySpace account…if they haven’t deleted me for inactivity. I didn’t come here from Twitter. I left Twitter when the hate speech of Donald Trump’s account was reinstated. FB: too many ads.
I have a bad habit of snarky replies and quote tweeting idiots but I figured out pretty quickly, that ain't the way things are supposed to work over here. I'm getting things in check 😅
The reason I left Twitter behind is because of all the ads. I'm okay with most everything else. I never really saw any of the Nazis or right-wing trolls, so blue sky can just do what it likes without blocking people!
They know, that is the point. Bullies and sociopaths get off on the negative reaction they generate. That is why they follow their "bullying prey" here; to try and ruin any happiness those that wish to get away from them might have.
It... doesn't ring a bell to these guys that most of us are here and have deactivated Twatter exactly because we've got too many loads of those guys and might not want to look at them or discuss what they're doing? Strange.
Hahah twatter. It’s just you KNOW whenever a woman is involved that will be the discourse no matter how stunning or ugly she is considered to be. I don’t want to see what they’re saying, how they’re breaking it down I dgaf Ciri looks fucking amaaaaazing
Don't get it. To me that's whatever suits the story they're wanting to tell. My 12 year old understands this much about stories and storytelling easily. How naive / mental does one have to be to have such priorities? 🙃
It's a social thing and common enemy. And yeah I know what a sociopath is, even by education. This is the kind of stuff kids do easily when they group up and are socially very insecure and want to strenghten their feeling of belonging / unity of a group, but we should grow out of it.

This is positive thinking
I feel very comfortable in my bubble, and have regained much of my sanity
@support.bsky.team is taking reports of constant chaos, barrage of bullying, hate mongering accounts seriously.
The extent of foreign accts online solely existing to cause division is staggering
That and I have less followers on here as well, which doesn’t help when I advertise my streams and stuff

Here I feel healthy AND vaccinated.
Who are you, to limit the boundaries of "we all"?

I’m sick of seeing all the “went to check twit” “I was on twit” “the other place was so bad but I keep going back”
delete the fucken accounts and stop telling us how bad it is over there. We already know, that’s why we aren’t over there

If you don’t like any of us just leave us blocked and live your life. It’s just a single press away

Begs the question....

I escaped for a reason
This has never been about echo chambers. It's about conservatives finally realizing that the right to speak doesn't entitle them to an audience. And they're throwing a bit h fit over it.
So glad people still call it Twitter rather then that other stupid letter
Just happy a lot of my mutuals are here from when I was there. Including you ☺️
But sometimes when there’s no opposition… we fight internally.
Let’s avoid that
We escaped the algorithm and biased / lack of moderation.
We can’t escape the realities that still exist.
I call it "Twitter trauma," it is a thing, and it should be talked about. I keep this handy so I don't always have to fight character limits...
Like they're running on instinct with what they're used to doing before the move.
It's like suffering from a withdrawal after finally leaving it behind for a while.
Gotta remind them they're not there anymore.

Share their handle if you can, to help others block them!
from there
-some dead dude, but before he died tho
- They're doing it for a reason;
- They are working for someone; and
- The correct action is blocking them.
Or they win.
I had such a hard time believing any reply over there was being made in good faith. It's hard to shake that off completely.
Any post from an industrial saboteur here to work against the success of BlueSky, generally.
Those are good starting points for finding the example(s) you crave.
