After the election I felt so defeated, alone, and scared. But today I have so much hope! I’m so grateful for deleting Twitter and finding a home at Bluesky. The positivity here has been amazing. Thank you for welcoming me … and so many like me 💙💙💙

I'm a refugee from Facebook. My wife and I also felt a lot of despair after the election. We're older. We fear for the country, ourselves, and every woman, and every "other" person. We know what we're going to do. Live our lives and build our community. You're not alone.
I still feel that way. I'm hoping stepping away from Twitter will help, but I don't think it will. All I do is remember who will be running the country next year, and I'm scared all over again.
When I started K’garten my mom added the extra “n” to my name. Changed it on my birth certificate even. She didn’t like people calling me Diane. Thought the extra n would help.
🤣🤣.
Similar story we were distanced from Mum for a while, as the eldest sister i was asked is it double "n" in Diane?
At that moment I remember thinking it how important the question was, Mum wasn't around , so I said assuredly it's only got one "n", to this day it stayed that way.
I really felt the same!! I was so sure that Harris was going to win the election , I
Really thought that there was no way that someone as corrupt as Donald Trump could get elected again 🔵🔵💙
I’ve been off Twitter since Elon bought it but I missed the interaction. Just joined but this is so much better and like you I’ve got hope after being on here
I posted a moment ago, the girl involved with https://b.sky, mention in post she is tied in with Fediverse...another platform.!
Check it out. I have no directions as I have only posted on here so far.
There are a whole bunch of people here 🇬🇧 that have your back. Most of them seem to be coming here 💪🏻 (we have been somewhere similar ourselves so we know how you feel 🙏🏻).
Hello. I honestly haven’t known how to function since the election.
It’s wonderful to find communities of intelligent, interesting and uplifting people who want to protect democracy!
I am also wondering where can I find your soup recipes.
Somehow soup is extremely comforting. 💙
The Mamie Taylor, I like to call it the Grandma Mule. My Grandma was a Mamie.
Highball glass
Ice
2 oz blended scotch
Fresh squeezed lime juice
Finish with ginger beer.
Call me a communist, but I think workers in the U.S. need to rise up along with everyone who is targeted by the soon-to-be new administration. Your body is your choice. Healthcare is a human right. Strong labor protections. Free healthcare & education for all.
We are not alone or even the minority. #WeOutNumberThem and their efforts to destroy our very democracy to protect themselves and the entire #RepublicanCrimeSyndicate from repercussions and accountability as they try to dismantle democracy so when they try fascism shepple with actually think it's ok
I too just joined, I never really used my twitter account but closed it.
Reddit is beginning to be the same.
I know we can get thru the next four years, but I still worry for my family and others out there who instead of being targeted for being different should be welcomed adding diversity.
I think many of us felt the same way. Not mad because our candidate lost but are angry about our freedoms being taken away and the freedoms of others.
Part of me wants to stay and fight, but part of me wants to move to South America.
I am too. We have much in common.
I’m disabled and have 4 major diseases and worrying about my healthcare if I’m insured or not after Trump takes office!
We will resist, he may have become president, but I never voted for him even in 2016! Very proud of that! He’s not our president, he will fuck up somehow and make his own people mad I believe this! Let’s resist resist Bluesky family, he’s 78 people and eats McD’s daily. His bro passed last year!
OMG, you have taken the words right out of my soul, feeling okay one day and one day in tears, to being so very upset and scared, and angry, and angry and I just don't do angry.
There are a few privileged white men, I best not say - - 🤬🤬🤬🤬
I am right there with you, feeling more hopeful by the day.
I was angry, furious, sick and very, very worried...
...but being here has turned my frown upside-down, bc I know I am not alone...
Hope you have a great day!
“I break chains all by myself
Won't let my freedom rot in hell
I'ma keep running
'Cause a winner don't quit on themselves …
I had my ups and downs
But I always find the inner strength to pull myself up
I was served lemons, but I made lemonade"
I have been despondent. I can't sleep, everyone in my life has noticed a change. I can't even explain why, I can't help it. I just joined. Hoping for brighter days.
I am on a much smaller playing field than you are, but I found it incredibly refreshing. It was very difficult to torpedo my Twitter account of 15 years, but I don't regret it.
Yes! After the election, I've been feeling very out of place due to the vocal right-wing. It's been nice so far though and I have a sense of belonging here.
