I get it. Twitter has bigger userbase, more outreach, etc. But look, I just don't wanna fucking open it. Every time I open it I get blasted with ads, propaganda and rage bait no matter how many people I mute. What's the point of having all this "outreach" if it literally destroys your mental health? - ThreadSky

how do i find cool accounts on bluesky? on twitter it was by pure luck

mercy401.femboy.gg•130 days ago

i think you could probably just use the feeds feature and then youd probably get a bunch of accounts based around any topic, you could also use the sky follower bridge extension to see if any cool accounts on twitter you follow are also on bluesky

legoushque.bsky.social•130 days ago

yooo man. i didn't know there was feeds thingy. thanks!!

nikeedev.bsky.social•130 days ago

hehe, my boy got it.

danielhejduk.bsky.social•130 days ago

I couldn't agree more

mercy401.femboy.gg•130 days ago

why has social media in general just become something that just kills your mental health instead of building communities and encouraging connections with new people and old friends

kualta.dev•130 days ago

because old age social media was founded in the early 2000s and it wasn't clear at the time what maximizing for engagement would lead to 20 years later.

these days we build decentralized tech and the new age social is generally more ethical.

bruh i opened it today and immediately got this:

like what the fuck is twitter anymore

tsoding.bsky.social•130 days ago

Well, at least the Community Note is on point.

jamlee.bsky.social•130 days ago

the community note was even better

tsoding.bsky.social•130 days ago

Yeah, I get the point Elon is trying to make. Let's just let everybody, including morons like those, speak out and just destroy their arguments with Community Notes. But honestly, it's absolutely exhausting, and I personally have better things to do with life.

jamlee.bsky.social•130 days ago

yea same

Welcome back Tsoding. I think this platform is much better than Twitter/X. Additionally, it offers a way to validate your account by using your own domain name.

Even half of programming Twitter is just pure brainrot at this point, so many weirdos

cfiggers.bsky.social•130 days ago

I've had a really hard time finding "programming bsky." Is there one? Advice on how to get on it?

bittersativa.bsky.social•130 days ago

Exactly right. No matter what you can't stop the toxicity on there.

The internet has become noticeably hateful in so many places, it's tiring. I enjoy this place right now, because it's so friendly and I really, really hope it stays that way

valigo.bsky.social•130 days ago

Twitter has bigger outreach, but sometimes it might not be the outreach you hope for :)
Anyway, this does feel like old twitter for now, I hope it won't get big too fast!

The reach was destroyed when they changed it so only your followers saw posts unless you paid up. That, and adding the "like" button, means that almost nothing I post on Twitter gets shared any more. It's like shouting into the wind.

I'm about 95% resolved to leave Twitter in the next few days.

hash4q.bsky.social•130 days ago

yup

cynthia.dev•130 days ago

Honestly, I've had a very pleasant experience over here, it really feels like Twitter and the availability of custom feeds is pretty cool

The more people make the switch, the better! >:D

kualta.dev•130 days ago

custom feeds are indeed pretty cool

ulong.bsky.social•130 days ago

The ads were pretty annoying

Switching from one app to the other kinda feels the same when you got bullied all day at school then you get home to play your videogames.
