Positives and negatives please?

+Starter packs are good for finding SM big hitters on certain topics or groups. They’re also good for finding fan groups like football team supporters
-Not as easy to find “normals” to interact with for more generally chat. Though I assume that will come in time. May need to bring back follow Friday

pollycurley.bsky.social•112 days ago

Space Karen isn't here. And there are no ads.

lenaman.bsky.social•111 days ago

No random hot women are following me. I wonder why 😂.

brooney.bsky.social•111 days ago

Deactivated the other one yesterday and already feel much purer so only positives.

drewcullen.bsky.social•111 days ago

Other people have touched on the negatives of twitter / positives of Bluesky. So let me add one more positive. You are the only football / footballer account I follow and soI am very pleased to see you here!

alexutb.bsky.social•112 days ago

No aggro, no blue tick bots, no adds, no musk. Lots of pet pictures. Yes it’s an echo chamber, but so is X for an ideology that I don’t subscribe to. I’m done with the tiring divisive X rhetoric of left = communist and right = nazi, which is only getting worse. I hope it keeps growing :)

martinobhoy.bsky.social•112 days ago

No TEMU ads!

markwib.bsky.social•111 days ago

Negatives - all the usual favourite people aren't yet over here.

Positives - a lot less pricks

africanhopkins.bsky.social•111 days ago

Musk isn't spouting laughable bollocks can be seen as both a positive and a negative depending on my mood.

lwrgwladys.bsky.social•112 days ago

Not a pedo in sight

hanko73.bsky.social•111 days ago

Seems to be ‘largely’ people with a conscience… ie, no bigots, fascists and weirdos who want to argue with random loons about stuff they know nothing about. Hopefully it stays that way 🥴

allansmith80.bsky.social•112 days ago

Replies tend to be from people rather than blue tick bots

gazfs.bsky.social•112 days ago

No bots, no Musk and I’m yet to see an ad for Temu.

nathwwfc.bsky.social•112 days ago

First day really using it, so can’t really comment other than I hope its place where can chat music/sports/current events without seeing so much abusive comments and ads ever 10 seconds.

brooney.bsky.social•111 days ago

Snap.

itsonlyme70.bsky.social•111 days ago

BS feel good and peaceful

robgeen.bsky.social•112 days ago

Breath of fresh air

twistedpretender.bsky.social•111 days ago

Biggest positive is being able to control what you actually want to see - which is now completely impossible on the other place

gazefc.bsky.social•112 days ago

Not noticed any idiots on here yet, that's a positive..

marct09.bsky.social•112 days ago

No more OF adverts for a start and Mrs T thinking I am a big perv 😃

iainjrobinson.bsky.social•111 days ago

I joined a month back & it has been quiet but seems to be an exodus from the other place.
Less bots & ads.
Starter packs are good to see who is here

bucktaylor64.bsky.social•111 days ago

Going to use this now! Seeing how many of my 3k followers move over. Keeping Twitter account for now though.

rossashworth.bsky.social•112 days ago

Quite a lot of the people I followed on Twitter and liked are already here

alanwrightsbarber.bsky.social•112 days ago

its not Twitter / X. Air feels cleaner to breathe already

mgcroadster.bsky.social•112 days ago

Huge positive: it's not Musk's X.

Negative: it's not yet the pre-Musk Twitter.

yourmatefrank.bsky.social•112 days ago

The positives are it’s yet to be inundated with bots and ads, and people generally seem more interested in conversation. Feeds also looks very promising.

I’m yet to find any negatives. If I were being very picky I’d suggest that the discover algorithm isn’t great but that would be very harsh imo.

winstann68.bsky.social•112 days ago

positives: no dropshipping ads, no abusive/violent videos posted via algorithms.

Negatives: need more Conservatives to join otherwise X/BSky will split left & right

murph08.bsky.social•112 days ago

No porn bots

flexirobinson.bsky.social•112 days ago

When I log in, it automatically shows me the latest message, rather than from the time I last logged in. Not sure how to change it. As I want latest at the top but want to scroll up to them

indysangria.bsky.social•112 days ago

Very fee negatives so far. Good vibes and a lot of people who feel relieved at being off that cesspit of twitter and all it's racist bots

timmo5.bsky.social•111 days ago

Early days…but I can see a lot of those I follow (even those with a huge Twitter following) making the break.

5wi11.bsky.social•112 days ago

No videos of people getting knocked out, fatally injured in accidents of murdered!

cally22001.bsky.social•112 days ago

I don’t have to scroll through 200 bits saying “cool” to read replies to posts. Also don’t need to put up with hate every time I see anyone say an opinion
