I never really bothered with Twitter as I was late to the party so this is new to me. Liking it so far. Bit too much Trump but I'm sure that will die down in time. Being able to block idiots and clear the space is very nice :-) I actively troll seek. Wind em up and drop em unsatisfied and angry.
Finally got someone who
would not
go away to block me.

I like the lack of venom but don’t have the same following I have on X so struggle to interact. I also find it more difficult to find accounts i want to follow. Still early days but I am still undecided.
Starter packs are really helpful to find old friends from X. Search the Bluesky directory for 'starter packs'. Lists some create based on topic/interest. You can single or mass follow accounts.
Found lots of my X friends this way ✨
No problem at all. Now you'll be able to help someone else find this ✨ Some X folk kept similar user names so I found some that way too.
Hope you have more fun and interesting follows here, soon
I feel like I can have a conversation with someone and actually reply to someone here without having fear of being called a slur or being told to shut up or anything. It's a very friendly environment and I love how new it is allowing me to form early bonds
Had twitter for ten plus years without blocking a single account, but recently I'm blocking people every time i open the app. Have yet to block anyone here but that's sure to change.
I mean you have to get used to, essentially, the absence of triggering trolls, insulting and baiting everyone they encounter.
It's fun for me 'cos I love a verbal scrap and, frankly, they're pxxx poor wordsmiths. Even so, X being toxic as hell, is tiring at best and soul destroying at worst.
the positive people I followed from twitter, are not swampted by culture war tourists, grifters, racist, sexists and blue ticked bots, its so much better.
Prefer Threads but I'm not looking for engagement per se, just lovely people who I can have a laugh with when I can be arsed. Horses for courses init mate.
I am the new guy on the block, 𝕏 went very quiet as it seemed everyone I followed over the last 5 years had left.
So making a new start and starting over again.

It's a breath of fresh air.😊
I have time for people here.

All of a sudden, there’s a small number of accounts with thousands of followers that appear on my feed.
Ordinary folk posting random interests are muted.
that said, i would love it more if it was possible to save posts as drafts! 🙃
