What about the good people like me who found you through Discovery and then followed you? (It reminded me to follow, really, because I’m trying to re-find everyone I followed back on Twitter years ago. Originally found you through Internet Today with @rickyftw.bsky.social and @eliotetc.bsky.social )
Computer delete the discover feed, it insists on showing me lots of posts that I don't want to see, that are about how the Poster also didn't want me to see their posts
Fucking Swipes, just fuckin' swiping around like the swipers they are. Like they aren't the swiping freaks that can't work a search bar. Against God, those Swipes are.
I too don’t get the joke, yet I too am riffing on it. How do you know when they find you on their Discovery feed? Also, if I had to think of, and then search for everyone I follow, I’d be following maybe 16 people.
..one of the stated features of BlueSky is avoiding the algos that feed you random stuff.. you make various feeds .. "following" is the default but you can make a bunch of subject specific feeds .. i have six or seven
"Discover" is just for coming across new stuff you dont already follow really
oh my god i don't need some asshole in my mentions getting me started about Cornwall's economy. all the available jobs are seasonal service positions working for rich tourists, no fucking shit we have disdain while our core industries are packaged out to foreign investment leaving us broke. fuck off
I hear you. If you live in a beautiful place anywhere, you suddenly find everything's been sold off to the rich and the only job left in town is wiping their arse.
...But what's wrong with finding things that way? That's literally what the damn discover tab is for. Maybe go be a soggy walnut somewhere else, like that shit show X (formerly Twitter) You'll fit right in over there. 😑
I have a Black Walnut Tree in my front yard. And it drops about 50 pounds of nuts every season. And I have learned just how easy it is for them to become soggy. And they reek and stain everything. It truly is a singularly gross experience. Hence it being a wonderful insult. 🤣
Yo! I have found many great accounts through perusing some of the discover page, great fighters for earth, climate, the economy, civil rights, and justice; new friends here and abroad; diverse perpectives; and great international reporting to fill in the gaping holes in US media. Also: worldview
Its more about the replies from people that find your post that way. Usually ignorant about the person and their background and then yelling at you when they completely miss the point because they are not the intended audience or just reply some weird shit for no apparent reason.

I only occasionally live up to that now.
Stupid,Stupid,Stupid😞
Thoughts?
You: “Dude - I was already a thing”

I dunno... I guess I mostly I think folks can stfu about how others BlueSky or whatever 🤷
I am also way too lazy/busy/forgetful to do this. And while I'm no trendsetter, I suspect I'm in the majority on this.
Not sure why it should matter to anyone else..
I already get bullied by the comic nerds don’t do this to me bro
In today's USA, that's a pretty big no-no.
Asking for a friend who may be hoser adjacent 🤭
and yes I saw this on the discovery feed
I'm 60 and on social media for like 6 weeks.
Did I do a meme? 🤓
I live in Discover. 😃
Bit long I realise but... 🤷♂️
Aren’t there any actual Nazis in your neighborhood that you could go beat on???
the explorers
Search
Snoop ur friends/contacts lists & reposts
tourists reply to you from the discover feed
The Discovery feed has it all, the folks I follow plus some fun surprises.
Hmmm maybe I just like chaos.
Also, do you happen to have any seeds? Mine seem not to be growing in this soil, and I’m becoming concerned about the winter.
