Hi Amanda! I'm Amanda. 💖 We've met a couple of times. Most recently at the Harris fundraiser last month, and at your Sunday Orlando Dolls show. I made you the Amanda doll 🥰
I'm devastated by what Twitter has become. I'm learning to turn that into something productive.

I never liked Twitter and really never used it, but I deleted it when dummy bought it. Im hoping to like this. I can't take all the yuck in FB anymore. There isn't as much on IG, but I'd love to avoid supporting apps that support people I'd rather not, too.

Hi Amanda, I just moved over here also.
Hello, I love you

I dumped my 15yo Twitter account on Saturday. I hope Bluesky catches on.

I’m so glad you’re here! Welcome! (Please come to Minneapolis 😉)

scottcooper.bsky.social•117 days ago

Welcome. The mute option in moderation is so refreshing. Filtering out ads and certain political bs is a game changer.

takieya.bsky.social•117 days ago

I left Twitter a while ago, and it felt so good. Not seeing the hate and vitriol every second post or comment makes me feel so much less tension.

misfitsgowild.bsky.social•117 days ago

Travelinghowls from insta - taking a turn on this one for obvious reasons🩵🙌

girlanachronism94.bsky.social•117 days ago

Hey, yay!

valhazel.bsky.social•117 days ago

Happy to see you here! I’ve came over from X as well. I missed it here!

glitch99.bsky.social•117 days ago

Followed you here from that other place we left today! 👋🏼😁

lifstr.bsky.social•116 days ago

Found you, following.

dottygirl.bsky.social•117 days ago

Yay! You’re here, too!

bobstep.bsky.social•116 days ago

Nice to see you here in the Sky... :-)
First ran into you when you were a statue around Harvard Square. <3
That reminds me to check and see if Chris Lydon is here!

bobstep.bsky.social•116 days ago

Aha... @radioopensource.bsky.social

finn1313.bsky.social•117 days ago

I didn't even see that because I left Twitter quite a while ago, but I just decided to look for you when I joined to follow @renmakesmusic.bsky.social and was excited to find both my favorite musicians in the same day.

smookypooch.bsky.social•117 days ago

We love you, come to Threads as well. There's so much love & positivity. I left Twitter too bc of how much hate there was

mattwhitby.bsky.social•90 days ago

But you still post on Twitter.

brianwagner.me•116 days ago

It really blows what Twitter has become. It was such a great thing for so long. It truly felt like a community for a while but has been something different for a long time. I left it years ago but still long for what it once was. Hope you are all well and hanging in there! ♥️

jonnyleahan.bsky.social•117 days ago

Welcome, Amanda! You did the right(eous) thing.

leyatini.bsky.social•117 days ago

This is a chance, I think, to go back in time to the origins of Twitter and make it ours, not letting it turn into the cesspool of hatred, bigotry, toxicity and violence Musk let it (made it) become. So : YAY ! That said : does anyone have any advice about who to follow here ?

teresatoro.bsky.social•116 days ago

You can't go wrong with George Takei and LeVar Burton: Fire and Nice.

drownedinsound.org•117 days ago

NICE! Thank you for sharing that.

zleeily.bsky.social•117 days ago

Welcome to the good place

gayoriver.bsky.social•115 days ago

Love you but someone you know personally has been trying to contact you for months to get a vulnerable photo of them removed off an account you used to run back on Twitter from 2012. Your work there is not done there. Please help.

kasiarachfall.bsky.social•116 days ago

Never was on twitter but I follow you on IG and now here 😀

leislb.bsky.social•117 days ago

I am so happy you are here now. 💗

christenlien.bsky.social•116 days ago

I’m happy to find you here! 🎶

Yeah, we gotta diversify and adapt. We got this!

belfebe.bsky.social•116 days ago

Welcome to the Good Place!

lukenoll.bsky.social•117 days ago

I just came here myself. It's good to try something new and away from all the ads & ai.

bs8zyk.bsky.social•117 days ago

Welcome! Glad you’re here.

teresatoro.bsky.social•117 days ago

Amanda, it made me sad.

abundantlove.bsky.social•117 days ago

Hi! Good to see you here! I haven’t quite moved all the way in. But hi!!!

nosirrahwehttam.bsky.social•116 days ago

vegasmeow.bsky.social•114 days ago

From MySpace, to Facebook, to Twitter, and now here! Love you and have been a loyal follower/fan since at least 2005, maybe earlier. You were the first "celebrity" to ever personally respond to me online some 15yrs ago and I never forgot that.

katlazarus.bsky.social•117 days ago

I miss Twitter. I miss what it used to be, and the memories and friends I made there. When Elon took it over, I knew it was all over. I think it was over before then too, he just confirmed it. I'm hoping we can have here what we had there!!
