I picked up 10,000 followers in the last two days.
You’re not following nearly enough people. With a chronological timeline you’ve really gotta follow a good number of people to have a lovely experience.
About the only one I knew on there was the handle change... cos (super impressed it's possible) - managed to change Nourish' handle to its domain name! 🙌 @nourished.news
😂😂😂
Sadly though it looks like the bot accts followed. Been here 2 days and already blocked Lottery winners, Gambia accts, pro-Trump, “regular” bots with no bio, no posts, super high following. Been there done that. They aren’t hard to spot. #BotHunter 🤭
Now that more big accounts are abandoning that rat infested ship and announcing they'll be on bluesky, I expect the numbers here will grow exponentially faster than they have been.
yeah, i could see it getting that 4chan-level reputation in the years to come, repelling normal people, but its still got to come down from the higher status it has.
I have no evidence to support this, but what if Elon is kissing the orange phallus and boosting the stock price of Trump Media & Technology Group in order for Trump Media to buy him out of X and relieve him of all that debt?
What he doesn’t realize is that if twitter is left with only musk fanatics, advertisers will have zero reason to ever come back. Most advertisers don’t sell things for crypto.
My account on Twitter was limited for 3 days, probably due to telling people I'm moving to Bluesky.
In the past few days, I boosted my number of followers talking about Trump cheating in election, until Trump tweeted about it. The Nazis are having a meltdown.
I haven't gone back since the election, and I realise this place has been much better with no ads, and haven't had anyone toxic yet. I haven't deleted my account yet, not sure I'll even bother.
These misinformation fuckwits may have won the election but we dont have to give them any attention ✨ (other than actively calling out their harmful bullshit)
I deleted my Twitter account and blocked the site from my network entirely in October 2022, 3 days after Apartheid Elmo took it over. My network does not permit traffic to or from Twitter. I also do not allow Twitter links on my Discord servers (it's ban worthy, people get one warning).
I've been trying to be here for a while but a ton of people I follow on Twitter weren't moving over. Many finally did in the last few days and I've barely been on Twitter now! It's so nice
Once I duped my 17 year account I never looked back, but happy to see the exodus is real, that place is destroyed anyway, so many fake accounts, insane levels of shadow-banning & division stoking, AI stalking, & worse... what a mess.
“Want to view your social security/medicaid/Medicare benefits? Check your passport renewal status? Please log in to USGovt with your X Account Credentials”
notable that this continues to be the app of choice for so many people fleeing the place, threads I’m sure is getting many new users but it’s just not the same kind of experience
The wall between IG and Threads is non-existent. I don’t want my kids friends moms to discover I’m a closet outspoken leftist. It would be socially isolating for them to say the least.

I did try the cross-over Chrome extension. I'll try harder.
Take care. 🦋
@erinbiba.bsky.social has, I suspect, been here for a long time .. and while I have too, she’s posted ~35,000 times more than you and I.
Nothing that’s easy is worth doing.

Then I've followed some of THEIR followers
Then I've followed people who've created starter packs
Expect to put in time building a follower base here
I haven't felt lonely or empty. Good luck!
… but seriously thanks, great idea.

I should've left months ago.
There are plenty of news sources and blue sky

34.2 k isn’t on Elon’s radar unfortunately.
That’s not even trending globally.
His money isn’t in Democrats, it’s in AI slop, Maga and crypto.
It was hilarious.
He's a traitor!!
Elon & Vance hit the nail in the coffin when they started threatening leaving NATO if the EU would ban or restrict X.
X needs to become irrelevant.
Invite everyone over folks.
Twitter is dead.
2) I’m not jumping from musk owning what I see to Zuck.
