i’ve been seeing people joining bluesky saying their feeds are dull or slow and want more people to follow, i put together a startpack of people i think are very funny, smart, i’m friends with, and people we had on western kabuki!
i felt like i didn’t include enough posters that have made my time online into what it is today
while not including everyone i want since i’m limited, i made another starter pack list of all the posters and friends i met early on who made my online experience incredibly fun!
i tried my best to assemble as much of that 2019-2022 shitposting crew as possible i’m happy i succeeded. i miss that era of twitter so much, it was the early days for me and so many of us
Just here to help all the bsky newbies track down their favorite Twitter chaos. Because who doesn’t love sharp observations, random jokes, meme gold, and the art of perfectly pointless posting? I’m still trying to track down some of my favorite twitter accounts that disappeared and it sucks.
hey June, we were moots on twitter but I've since ditched that site completely. i'm just glad to see the twitter i once knew and loved coming back together here.
i still have fond memories of when replies still worked on twitter and we’d all flood the replies of right wing maniacs and ratio them all together. bluecheck changes just does not let you do that anymore on there and it’s tragic
We were moots for a while before my old Twitter account got got for some reason or other, was very funny to be able to point at Tucker Carlson yelling about snickers dick veins and going "my internet friend did that"
Shares show interest and desire to grow. So I followed all of you who shared to also help expand your followings. Welcome to Bluesky! Lots of great new faces daily! Enjoy and feel safe! Have fun? Be U!
not being on this list is the ultimate call for self-improvement. i want to be the best version of myself. new year’s resolutions do not hold a candle to juniper’s list’s resolutions
This is a great starter pack…has anyone made a “List” that has all these people? I’d love to be able to narrow my feed down to just a “western kabuki” post blast

So people are joining Bluesky from Twitter, complaining that they haven’t got any follows/followers set up because it is a new account, and thinking “someone” will magic them up for them without any effort from themselves? Just how entitled are some people!
Let me tell you an old tale about twitter in 2006. No starter packs , no who to follow. If you didn’t have a friend to get you on and follow then your feed was BLANK. Good news was you saw convos of those you followed so you added peeps you found interesting. And we talked WITH each other not AT
hello *blushes and hides my hands behind my back*
erm... we should uhh... play games sometime!!! hehe...
*to myself*
you're so stupid! i cant believe you asked her that...
Why would you choose the ‘add Jackie to the starter pack’ route instead of ‘acknowledge hawk tuah’ route this is so sad and says so much about society……..
I couldn't find it and I was too lazy to make one myself, but just imagine this reply says "getting beaten out for a spot by the Eve 6 guy" with a GIF of the Gin Blossoms singer singing the "outside looking in" line from "Til I Hear It From You"
Yayyy thank you for putting together this list! How would you recommend getting more involved in internet journalism? I feel like it's just not something you can learn/something to just start doing, but as a fellow trans justice-aligned person I would love any time-earned wisdom you might have.

I followed everyone in these lists. I need more excitement in my life!
We’re mutuals on Twitter
So nice to be here
Your feeds will be slow and dull at first. You may need to follow a bunch of people first. Some may follow you back. Be patient.
Also didn't know she was on Bluesky, so thanks!
big if true

Until today, because this literally just the backbone of all my old Twitter follows.
How do we get added?
I'm going to box Joe Biden.
