I feel like the fact that so many people refuse to leave Twitter bc it's inconvenient is indicative of why the left sucks so fucking bad at getting anything done.

Sure, they'll virtue signal, maybe show up to vote 40% of the time, but when it comes to any actual, tangible resistance it's "you don't understand, it's just too inconvenient. I couldn't possibly go out of my way!" Get over yourself.
Yeah and like, I'm tired of hearing the "well I'm a full time artist!" Argument. So am I? You knew it was coming, you've had a /year/ to transition to Bsky. It's obviously successful, there's just no excuse imo. It's basically the "we couldn't possibly have healthcare for all, it's impossible!"
Term comes from a book written by Alexei Yurchak. A Russian historian describing the last few decades of the USSR. The system was corrupt. Everyone knew. But they kept it going for quite awhile still.
Plus bsky has much more consistent interaction! Sure I’m only at 250, but this is the quickest I’ve ever reached that point! I barely even check twt anymore bc it’s just such a cesspool for the worst type of people
Yeah it's really infuriating. Especially when I see people complaining who I know didn't vote or don't even have a Bsky account. Like... You might as well shut the fuck up 💀
UGHHH SO TRUE. And my number one question for our country generally is: why is NO ONE DOING ANYTHING RIGHT NOW??? Are people being paid off? Threatened to be quiet? Like genuinely what the fuck man.
yea :3 like im not talking about the ones trying to leave twitter and are actively working to move there stuff here full time which takes time (since some still have clients on there which i understand), im talking about those who arent even trying at all to leave twitter arent helping at all,
like i see so many complain how bad & awful twitter is but those same ones make no effort to move or transition to bluesky, like if the site is so bad start the process of moving to bluesky it may take awhile & rebuilding is hard but itll be worth it in the end for both the artist and the clients
Exactly! I'm not even a big artist and I rebuilt within a month. It didn't take nearly as long as it did on Twitter bc you're not battling an algorithm.
exactly like you cant rebuild if you dont at least try to and yea rebuilding is different for everyone which i understand but for those that are making no effort at all to rebuild or move here. i see so many on twitter not even making the effort to rebuild or move here at all & im like why some dont
even have an account here at all and its so silly like it takes nothing to make an account here and start posting and growing your following and if twitter fails or dies which will happen that place is losing money and users daily then the ones who refuse to rebuild are going to be screwed big time
i know giving up and leaving behind all your hard sucks but rebuilding on a nicer, safer and healthier platform is more worth it & more rewarding then anything and the fact that theres no algorithm to suppress you posts or hide stuff means you have a much better chance at growing on here vs twitter

Every knows what is wrong. Everyone knows that the system is failing. But no one has an alternative vision so they keep trotting on.
(Obviously loads of people do have an alternative vision though)
Actually downloading my likes and saves atm. Want to keep the username though in hopes of the platform being sold off.....
But it has landed me some small gigs... (purely a side thing for me atm though)
