This app is growing fast and you are one of the voices on the left who have genuinely been analyzing what has happened rather than simply pointing the finger. We need more voices like yours so we can come out stronger from this mess.
Your videos & the conversation you had on Factually have soothed the fire in my brain since the election. Thanks for providing an honest & clear perspective of the coming storm.
Hopefully, people are finally understanding that our tech platforms matter. And trying new things, even against their financial and influencer social motivations. Building new, valuable things is hard.
Ditto. Gonna have to weed out the ones who seem to think “it’s not gonna be that bad”. Or “the dems should have tried harder changing peoples minds”. Those folks will get blocked quickly. FAFO is my new motto.
Yeah. Ditto. Xodus is happening post election. A lot of people trying to stay to convince the fash recognizing futility, and a lot of folks following the ovwrwhelmed away from negativity.
Ultimately, healthy and good. Social networks should rise and fall, and be replaced by better ones.
There's an extension for Google Chrome (Sky Follower Bridge) that makes it easy to find and follow all the people on BlueSky who you used to follow on twitter.
I was looking for people I used to follow over at that other place and came across your profile. Your posts looked interesting and so I took the plunge and gave you a follow.
The jump in weird stuff I see when going from teaching a class of 25 to a class of 250 is mind-boggling, I can't even imagine what adding an extra three zeros would do
I've seen you in a lot of starter packs concerning political analysis. I'm in a handful about antifascist research, and I think my follower count has gone up by 200-300 in the past couple of days.
It seems like healthy growth, stemming from what passes for word of mouth here!
Yes! I’m so happy to see you here! You’re one of my favorites! When journalists abandon Twitter, it will die. You’re the only ones keeping it relevant.
I'm in twitter jail for a week cuz I told Nikki that she got thrown under the bus like the rest of us. I guess elon thinks that's a threat. But I like it better here. I do know there is getting to be a mass exodus cuz rumors are that elon is spying on everyone. I'm a nobody but I'll make the trip.

And a gigantic abandon ship going on over at Leon’s place.

Also you’re generally a solid dude.

Or maybe…
Bluesky Blueup
Hmmm. Let’s try…
Bluesky Blewup.
Well, you know what I mean.
I think a lot of us left that other site without really having to coordinate it or plan it. We all just said "enough of that" at the same time.
Is that a bad thing?
