The thing I like about switching to Bluesky is that it feels like an opportunity for me return to a positive, charitable, and productive disposition — the sort I had before I gave into the Twitter ecosystem’s pressure to be your worst self.

You know, that's very true. Granted I left Twitter a while back but it was bringing out the absolute worst in me. Doesn't mean I won't be raging at times here but I want to keep that less.
It absolutely is. No more trepidation over responses, safety is at a much higher level of concern. Everyone is able to relax, be themselves and enjoy the exchanges.🥰
I agree. So many people on twitter were just looking for a quick reply-dunk, it wasn't really a great place to discuss anything important. And I feel the ratio of people here doing good in the world is a lot higher. Or lower, I don't know how ratios work. Whatever is the good one.
This place is so different from Twitter which has become so toxic. My only concern about leaving it to come here is that those that need to be kept to account will get a free ride. Although I am not sure we could ever say enough for them to care.
I've found myself going on attacks on Twitter as of late, but with Bluesky, it's nothing but feeling positive and carrying those vibes around constantly.
Right? I am very cautious about anything growing quickly in this social environment because we just can't seem to have nice things, but the vibes in here today are a lovely reminder that the world is not, in fact, made up of bots and shit stirrers. 🦋
I’m hoping for, and having so far, a kinder gentler experience here with the exception of one major asshat. I’m also working hard n my propensity for terrible typos.
But yeah it's beneficial for professional accounts especially because it's stronger than a verified checkmark could really be. A fake Star journalist won't have a Star domain, for example.
I think we all relate. I feel it already here from many, back to a civilized and rational tone. I check in the other site for accounts I like to follow too (Bruce Anderson, Frank Graves) and I feel the nasty seeping out of me wihin seconds from reading comments. Not healthy for the psyche.
yes! on twitter I was mostly seeing conflicts and drama and at some point I just got tired of it. like, people are shitting on you for whatever reason they like.
Same with me. By nature I stand up, but I became as toxic as those attacking me and was saying things, I would never even consider. I feel calmer here.
I wish I knew. I press edit profile, click on the camera
in the small circle, pick a picture - it comes up, the only
option I have is pressing “done” and save changes.
It just goes back to staying an empty circle. 😬
it's amazing realising just how much Twitter crushed my spirit over the years because now I'm here I feel like, super refreshed and happy to be here and excited
This is definitely part of the value here. It allows the possibility of reform. I want to believe that there are people who act stressed and nasty over there can come here and constructively be part of the community.

When your church has been polluted by satanists.
That's the bsky way
I think there will be more “feelings” here at first, with quicker blocking and dismissal of ppl w other opinions by contacts of the blockee.
But it’s still better!
The tools are great!
I don't want to go back anymore.
Catturd showed up the other day and made it 12 hours before he violated terms of service and got banned (made a death threat)
We all need to chill. Much healthier.
I hate some pickles for real. Bicks Yum Yums have always been yuck yucks to me
I’m pleased. Welcome.
But yes, it's also nice for those other reasons.
Twitter turned into a shart.
it feels much better here.
My initial impulse is to go over to their feed and read them the riot act but I know that's exactly what they want us to do so I just block them.
help me out? I have an issue with my profile picture?
What on earth could I be doing wrong?

It worked for Spock.
