This place is starting to feel like home. As newsy and busy as Twitter now, without feeling like I'm being held hostage by a psychotic billionaire. Anyone else feel the same?* (*I'm still picking up my mail 'over there' but could do without it). - ThreadSky

My Twitter account has gone, left there for here and not looked back. More local people too, much more settled here than ever.

sunderlandlolly.bsky.social•83 days ago

Yes, it's taken a while but I'm hoping it takes off and wipes Twitter out 🙏

ianhardie.bsky.social•83 days ago

That is nearing, without doubt. Refreshing to see the people you interact with rather than forced content 😁😁

gemandmoll.bsky.social•82 days ago

Following- I think I knew you on the other side.

sunderlandlolly.bsky.social•82 days ago

Hi Gem & Molly 👋 Have a great day ❤️

loanchargeprey.bsky.social•82 days ago

I check twitter once a day for about 2 minutes...whereas I dip in and out on here all day. It's also really nice not to be spammed by ads and groaning about the trending hashtags of the day.

gemandmoll.bsky.social•82 days ago

Absolutely the same.

sunderlandlolly.bsky.social•82 days ago

Haha, yes less to irritate on here! 😆

lucyfro.bsky.social•82 days ago

Same! I get the sense that I'll get breaking news here, and be able to interact with the ppl whose opinions I value.

borislong.bsky.social•83 days ago

Loving it.

Pretty sure in August or September Musk seriously throttled down a lot of anti-blob posts. Good riddance to x

ogbrickman.bsky.social•83 days ago

Simply no doomscrolling here. I’m pretty sure my blood pressure is lower now 🤷🏻‍♂️

sunderlandlolly.bsky.social•83 days ago

😆

wayneepoo.bsky.social•82 days ago

👍🏻

cat-lady24.bsky.social•82 days ago

Some grim remarks today. Have the bots invaded?

sunderlandlolly.bsky.social•82 days ago

Oh really? I hope not 😔

jimmycumiskey2.bsky.social•82 days ago

Yeah
Dip my toe in now and again
That’s about all

babshbruce.bsky.social•83 days ago

Definitely fewer psychos. Twitter is dead to me. 🪦💀

sunderlandlolly.bsky.social•83 days ago

It really is gross 🤮

bobfromnextdoor.bsky.social•82 days ago

I was going back to check on things but decided it's best if I just stay focused here and forget I was ever on the other site. I feel like a load has been lifted from my shoulders.

sunderlandlolly.bsky.social•82 days ago

Yes 👍. The best thing about this place, by FAR, is no Elon Musk 🥳 🎉 🪅 🎊 🍺

cpgarghan.bsky.social•82 days ago

I accidentally logged out of Twitter and realised I can't be arsed to type in my email and password to log back in

sunderlandlolly.bsky.social•82 days ago

Haha, it's a sign you should leave 😆

cpgarghan.bsky.social•82 days ago

I'll probably leave it to rot, like my accounts on half a dozen defunct social media sites: Bebo, MySpace, Livejournal, others I'm forgetting

sunderlandlolly.bsky.social•82 days ago

Yes, my Threads account is currently deserted!

cpgarghan.bsky.social•82 days ago

I had a Mastadon but the server shut down and I can't be bothered to migrate to a new instance

kabri72.bsky.social•82 days ago

Definitely 👍

crazylady55.bsky.social•83 days ago

And not getting Trump rammed down your throat every day

sunderlandlolly.bsky.social•83 days ago

Yes!!! 🙏

katdharrison.bsky.social•82 days ago

I only go back there for one account. There’s a guy who does amazing work for street dogs in Thailand. He organises a neutering programme and works with locals to educate. He gets money from likes. Feels like I’d be abandoning the dogs if I left completely.

gemandmoll.bsky.social•82 days ago

Ditto.

sunderlandlolly.bsky.social•82 days ago

Awh, that's absolutely worth supporting ❤️.

serendipitysmith.bsky.social•82 days ago

Unbelievably my granddaughter's primary school still give their class updates (with photos) over there but I left anyway, though it broke my heart. I suspect the teachers who post don't use it for anything else so don't realise how awful it is now.

sunderlandlolly.bsky.social•82 days ago

Yes, I think a lot of people don't get the ins and outs of how it's gone downhill. You don't need to log on to view your granddaughter's school - just view it on web Twitter, I think?

katdharrison.bsky.social•82 days ago

I go there and just search that account don’t scroll through all the dross.

tangowhiskyromeo.bsky.social•82 days ago

Indeed, far more civilised over here but I still go to the other place when I want to vent or watch crass stupidity unfolding!

sunderlandlolly.bsky.social•82 days ago

😆

brian770.bsky.social•82 days ago

Never going back to my eX😁

sunderlandlolly.bsky.social•82 days ago

Haha 😄
