It is not so easy. There are many millions of trolls on X and here we block and report them. If we allowed them to express themselves, Bluesky would already have at least 50 million accounts.
On 3/17/25 delete your facebook, instagram, X and thread accounts. They make money offer of advertisers. If there is not enough of us to show those ads too, they lose money. It can be a 24 hour deletion to start, to let them know, it will be permanent if they don't get their asses in line
There should be a social media blackout and delete your accounts for 24 hours on facebook, X , instagram and threads, Showed them we the peole have the power. Why are we helping them get richer when they are taking away, our rights, ourconstitutional and civil rights. It's insane!
I know it probably counts for diddly squat, but now when the back-matter in my eBooks is updated, I make sure that BlueSky is the only link available for social media.
Reddit just decided to crack down on accounts who "upvote" content that admins deem "violent". So far, the standard seems very weak. And users seem content to leave Reddit if the trend continues. It's better here anyway.

I don't like Tesla's, I think Musk treats consumers like guinea pigs, they have flaws experienced car manufacturers have already fixed decades previously, there were just fewer options in the market. Imagine of every Tesla owner gave a fair reviews on whatcar, parkers, Edmunds, Kelley Blue Book, etc
Yes! But ffs Bluesky, please enable videos that are longer than 60 seconds. There are so many important speeches being made against the fascist coup, and we can't post them here except through broligarch links.
No. I mean platforms like mastodon and others. 60 seconds is just too short for a video. So you're forced to link to the kind of platforms you just criticised.
I am British but living in Cyprus. I haven't heard of any sort of fight back from the Dems. Have they really just retreated in the face of this hideousness?
There's nothing coordinated, that's for sure. AOC, Crockett, Buttigeig, Sanders, Murphy, Warren and Al Green are the only ones I've seen making any meaningful noise, causing enough fuss that it's cut through to reach wider audiences.
The rest seem happy with sleepwalking and/or actively supporting.
But if you really want to make a splash, make calls to your local elected officials and your national elected officials. It does have an effect.

Sunday night is my cut-off. I'm just trolling and getting people mad at me. I'm surprised I'm not banned yet! 🤣 i got a month ban 3 years ago for saying b o m b! And I still can't spell it without spaces!
Member of @greenparty.org.uk ?please ask them to stop supporting fascist Elon Musk. This is a little bird we do want go extinct! Not only is it unethical, it is not worth the return on investment. There aren’t many in that toxic cesspool who will listen and the algorithms are stacked against.
Ya'll please come back to X. It has super free speech and a wide variety of super cool content. I promise a free swastika t-shirt for each friend you recruit!
Tough ask, they're in nearly every country in the world and saw their user count is something like 500M+. We're still only at 32M. Every individual, departments, companies, local sports teams, pro-teams & news outlets all have accounts they'd have to switch. Don't get me wrong, be great, just tough.
I don't understand how anyone can justify staying on X. I personally have unsubscribed to Amazon and deleted FB and IG from my phone. People tell me, I have to "stay on FB, all my "fill in the blank" are there. I tell them, take a break, you can rejoin later.
Put my age in as 7yo on IG and have suspended my accounts including FB which I barely used, but I actually need to delete the accounts. Of course now I’m locked out. Saw someone on here post that. But tbh better to delete than do that. #boycottinstagram #boycottfacebook
Unfortunately, unless more businesses and our Govt & its depts migrate over, people will stay on X. I haven’t been on there for months now but when I had an issue with a co, I had to go on & message them to get it sorted. Many only act when you publicly highlight an issue & only way is via X or FB.
A few years ago I was on Twitter as it was considered America’s town hall. Since then Musk turned it into a bastion of far right lunacy. Let’s make this the new town hall.
Twitter was twitter before the twit owned it
Bluesky was blue twitter right from the beginning
The difference is which political team you make excuses for.

Let’s keep building a warm and kind community and keep luring people with free candy from our vans… 🤣🤣🤣
No, but really, it’s great here and fuck those guys.
What we really need is about 10k double agents who are in magat land platforms like X, lie social, fb, instagram and tik tok. In addition, we need to increase the amount of posts on these platforms. #TogetherWeHavePower
the first things to do is getting bluesky to make interface comfortable as a transition from other services. this should be adopting similar features like the video playing around of tiktok and the personal page features of facebook. then when the garden is ready we convince influencers to seed it
I would but all i see on Bluesky are people trying to out scream the other poster.
Not once have we seen any unified plan of action that accomplished anything.
It's always a "should have" meme, never a "WeDid" meme.
It’s really important to get SO many influential accounts over on the other place to let go of their follower count obsession’s & dependence on algorithms & start posting here primarily.
Egos don't thrive here; they are attention seekers and want attention more than patriotism. This platform needs to compete, and changes are not coming fast enough. I put hours in here every day, people are not responding much. It needs bait.
I expected ads, if they aren't rip-offs. I learned my lesson on Twitter, they let anybody advertise and I lost money ordering cheap crap I could not use. Fake ads are awful. If it makes the platform strong, we could tolerate them.
The algorithms need to evolved here. Until that is done, even if people join, they can’t get traction. Posts go to the wind right now - they don’t allow people to easily engage.
This place doesn't have algorithms. We have built-in and custom feeds but they don't prop up certain posts like Twitter and Facebook do. You're following fewer than 200 people.Try following a few hundred more people and engaging in other people's posts, and I bet you'll see more engagement.
I’m following more than 9K, with 3.7K posts and lots of reposts and other engagement. And my original posts still stall out at between 1 and 8 likes after 24 hours. Very discouraging.
I agree with that re-tweeting idea. You study and read and what you know is true isn't seen. We need to go back and re-issue stuff that matters for the chance others will see the ideas.
I know some of my best posts NEVER get seen or response. It's very discouraging. How can Mark Cuban not know this? He keeps trying to get people here, but as you say, it needs work. Thank you 🙏
Mark, who are the people are that actually run Bluesky? Jack Dorsey is no longer part of it although he initially was associated with it. We know he’s sort of sane, but what about the others? Can you vouch for them? What if they’re all bat shit crazy too Especially once they become billionaires.
I’m asking Floridians to sign a petition to recall Rick Scott. He won’t hold town halls and won’t respond to constituents calls. I’ve called daily for a month and no one has ever answered.
It may not be constitutionally supported, but it can send a collective message.
It seems Musk has over stated his actual users by at least 100 million, based on the bots Grok says are on his platform. So, BlueSky may be a third of the way there now.
But you yourself find excuses to still use x. And you know the damage. Even sell it like some kind of hero. Practise what you preach. You encourage your followers to still use musks site.
I look forward to the day that Twitter/X is delisted from everything (product packaging, hotlinks on other sites, etc.), if not outright shutdown for good after Musk raped that platform to death with his ego!
I got kicked of twitter for using phrases like “jump in a lake” over 3 times and they said that it promotes suicidal behavior. F Facebook too. I’m not interested in who they think I might want to follow and have to hide all constantly because those are 1/2 the posts. I like Blue sky
You can't draw enough users here without the changes and improvements that keep people at Twitter. What do they need here, ads? People have thousands of followers, but very few replies. They won't use this platform without upgrades, they're back to Musk's sewer.
That’s what I have said all along. A boycott on x and Tesla cars and the Muskrat is in trouble. Plus, x has a Ministry Of Truth, BlueSky does not! I’m banned at x, but here I am allowed to exist as an American dissident! How much proof do you need for who’s got free speech?
I came to blue sky bc the nonsense from others. Tictoc hurt the most, but when I got that message thanking trump, I left tictoc too. Fuck trump, Fb, ig, Twitter and tictoc. They all became a propaganda peice for the extreme right
More propaganda bullshit Peter Trump is destroying the deep State of Democrats, which you are very much part of, and can not handle you are part of the problem in America, I stopped watching you on TV because of your bullshit.

I don't judge them and I don't care.
People are still flocking.

TRUMP IS A LIAR!
There is no public record or evidence to suggest that Zelenskyy wrote to Trump after the meeting to say he wanted to come back.

It now bothers me that all the most used social media apps are American owned...
They still haven’t found out how to break even/make money on this platform, AFAIK.
Increasing the bandwidth and storage capacity massively is extremely expensive.
Who’s going to pay for that?

It seems possible that Musk could buy and kill Bluesky. It is a US based enterprise.
But by bit we grow stronger!
Then the rest start to follow.
I'd expect Trump to ban BlueSky in the US under some pretext via the GoP
I suspect they will prefer to stay where they can get away with being ghouls.

In the Uk it needs C4News and Sky News to post as much on Bluesky - and the BBC and Labour to start posting meaningfully on #Bluesky!
