Interactions have been quality for me. There are literally ZERO bowling influencers here (that I have found yet). Fantasy football / NFL needs some growth but the ones that are here are awesome. My gap is news and real time interaction during live sports events that are not mainstream.
Very positive. Love seeing & interacting with familiar faces but also new ones, i feel people are here to have a good time and are respectful of others. It’s just refreshing dude, love it.
So far, Bluesky has been a rejuvenating experience.
It's incredible to see something so like the old form of social media, where people are actually social and what they like and post influences what they see and who they connect with.
This is close to the "good old days" as we'll ever get 💜
Overwhelmingly positive, and seeing more engagement than I've ever had on any social platform before. I ditched my twitter account when Musk first took it over, but it was idle by then anyway.
Pretty damn good, to be honest. I'm still getting used to the app. Hopefully, they'll add some features like group chats and voice notes in the future 👌
It's better, I don't have to be afraid to open this app in public. However I think the site needs to improve things with the algorithm and notifications as I often find myself not seeing stuff but I'm sure they'll get there in time.
I have found my people and can have better conversations over here, minus the rando stink bombs. Plus I just love how we all boost and help each other. This is my ideal social media experience, tbh. The site could use improvements with how things work, but that'll come in time.
Positive. Bluesky is like the small gathering of close friends after leaving the loud, crowded, obnoxious, chaotic keg party now known as "X" 😂. Everyone is chill here.
It’s been fantastic! I’ve had great conversations. I’ve actually seen my friends posts. I get real interactions instead of being ignored by a shitty algorithm. I finally feel like I belong.
I really didn't expect much from it if I'm being honest, but in only a short time I've met some really cool people and really felt like I've been able to share what brings me joy and share it with people that shares that joy as well. Overall it has been a positive experience! 💜
Feed is alot more normal. No bots nor hate. Followers hard to get by but interactions has been great. I got in from the very start and just restarted this month again so it's starting to get fun!
confusing! no one has sent me death/rape threats, insulted my looks/partner/baby/dog/neighbour/mailman, no sexual comments (even as a joke hurhurhurhurrr), no nasty group chats, my family haven’t been found on facebook… what’s happening???????
Pretty chill, but been having to block more accounts. Made clear that I did not want politics in my feed. Don't mind a little bit, but not accounts where it's just all politics. Suddenly they increased...
Absolutely blissful. Everyone is so nice and supportive of one another. The mass block buttons are great and stress free to use. I have x3 more followers here than I ever did in the Bad Place. It's just a haven
Yeah. People engage with you when you say meaningful things and rage bait gets either ignored or thrown out. What is this witchcraft and where can I buy more? 🙃
I'm having a blast. Also actually getting likes and replies on my artworks is giving me whiplash atm. Like wdym? 😭
And everyone is nice and wholesome gaming convos are everywhere. I missed this
Honestly, way better than I expected. I was gonna stay and go down with the ship on the other app but I got curious and made this Saturday. Barely even touched the other one since. My tl is video games and cats and it's awesome!
Real nice so far. I see all kinds of stuff on my timeline I actually want to engage with because it entertains me or I am interested in it. Not all the hate engagement I was having on X. I realize now even though I was engaging a lot on there it was almost never something positive.
Which I think is most of the monetized people there’s plan. Because negative engagement usually can get you a lot more views and comments than positive.
I learned a little bit of how to code for a whole day so I can create a feed where you can see anyone saying saying slay on post, however they want to say slay 🥰
It’s like a breath of fresh air here. X was just a toxic cesspit where here everyone just seems really nice. In some cases, the grass really is greener on the other side 😅
Overall, it’s been peaceful. A nice break from the other app. Though not a lot of people follow back. Good conversations anyway. I’m still finding my way around.
Honestly pretty good! I get all the echo chamber comments for sure but the other place is so awful with the complete opposite experience so I’ll take the happier place lol
It's my first social media platform, and it's been pretty good so far. Wish the book portion of the site was more focused on the actual books and less on how reading makes you "not like the others". Literary elitism is so tedious. That's nothing new through, so basically a thumbs up.
It feels like I’ve been playing Call of Duty with random matchmaking for years with morons I don’t know who blame others for everything and yell slurs at our teammates and then my closest friends suddenly all hop on at once and we join a private server and we catch up and laugh and it’s great!
It's been great! The community on here has been nothing short of warm and accepting, it's taking a while to get used to! Hopefully those of us (include me) that have come from twitter are able to adjust and contribute 👻
It's been great. Nothing will beat that first influx tho. App was installed, notifications on, but hadn't checked in weeks. I'm on vacation and at a pool. My phone was dinging and buzzing from a shoulder bag all day. Every time it went off my thoughts were "So it begins."
Everything has been nearly perfect and better in every way. My only complaint is how my videos never upload on here with any sound 🙁 Oh, and we're still missing GCs. Other than those 2 things, our community has never been better.
About the same as Twitter, honestly. I curate my feed constantly so I only see what I want to see, and I get about the same (sometimes less) engagement.
Its been fantastic mate loving seeing everyone talk about there favourite video games and films TV shows on here and bluesky has my awesome angel on here which makes it extra special
Mostly positive, only after the last 24 hours or so have I come across a handful of people that just give off that X energy and It's instantly draining.
It’s been alright I get some engagement here and there but probably the best thing is not having right wing shit shoved down my throat every couple of seconds or seeing Elon post unhinged shit. Just actually nice and fun posts about games and anime it’s pretty lit honestly
It's been very nice honestly. I have social anxiety so I sometimes lose motivation to post but haven't felt that way with Bluesky at all. Everyone has been so welcoming and kind! I've even made some new friends on here! 😄
I’m loving it for the people, but honestly I’m missing some features here 😭 Not that Twitter has amazing features especially with the stupid decisions they made lately, but I need easier-to-create-and-manage threads, ability to upload gifs & some other simple stuff like that
Very positive so far! Less stuff in my feed because some of the pages I followed on that hellish site haven't made the jump yet, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. Stops me from doomscrolling. Oh, and no useless replies to posts from idiots trying to farm engagement? Absolute bliss.
Simply calm. What some may claim is an “echo chamber” is nothing more than a return to polite discourse. Especially regarding unimportant matters, entertainment sports etc.
Have yet to engage with anyone on political/ideological matters but merely being free to avoid it is another example of calm.
Aside from a couple of randos in my DMs (I figured out how to turn DMs off) its been WONDERFUL. Way better than the bad place. Nothing toxic and I feel like I have great control in curating what I see in my feed. It is currently my preferred social media platform.
Mixed. Struggling to find my community but the extra positivity here is nice. I didn't realise how bad things actually were in the other place and I was mostly only a lurker over there so didn't get the aggro that most got.
I actually talk to people on here and gavent lost faith in humanity because of it. A vast improvement. Can't say I use any social media for long periods of time during any given day but it didn't take more than a quick glance to run into someone who made me feel physically ill on X.

This is really a breath of fresh air.
I like nice small groups.
I’ve got exactly zero interest in going back.
Just been talking about games with a lot of cool people
Very friendly here
And not seeing “WOKE DEI DEAD GAME” under every comment section 💀
And everyone is nice and wholesome gaming convos are everywhere. I missed this
