I'm 12500 away from whete I was lol. But I just started here.

sarcasticcanuck.bsky.social•108 days ago

I'm a newbie here. I only had about 4000 on Twitter after 13 yrs or something. Hit 600 today after 1 week, so I'm hopeful.

zer0karma.bsky.social•107 days ago

I’ve been on here for like 2 days and have more followers than I’ve ever had in my entire life on anything lol

venomator.bsky.social•108 days ago

Nice! Have another one foc… :)

paulmoo66.bsky.social•108 days ago

You've just got another one!

ideomagus.bsky.social•108 days ago

The math ain't mathin' on the erstwhile bird app. I peaked in to look at some of Don Cherry's stalkers, and none of it makes sense. Was also blocking transphobes on sight, and algorithm always served up more.

betterskies.bsky.social•108 days ago

Here's one more for you

gilly6124milo.bsky.social•108 days ago

Bing!

Just got another one.

shestheonlyone.bsky.social•108 days ago

How? I'm feeling incredibly ignored here. The key to the algorithm is???

audhdad.bsky.social•108 days ago

Amazing how it is when your entire experience isn't 100% manipulated by a wanna be nazi, right?

secretbanker.bsky.social•107 days ago

Delighted to be one of those.

lizziedearden.bsky.social•107 days ago

And the overtake is complete! Bluesky is now my primary platform and will be the priority going forward 🎉

juanpablodewes.bsky.social•107 days ago

But the real question is when will you leave X completely 🤔

soloskywalker.bsky.social•108 days ago

I have very few followers. Which is perfectly legitimate. I’m certain almost all of my followers were bots and people wanting me to follow back with no actual reason.

newblueway.bsky.social•108 days ago

I have more here in one week than years on Twitter.

davec2468.bsky.social•108 days ago

Same number + 1 😉

vipergirls.bsky.social•108 days ago

Congrats. When I pass the 600 i had only got in 10 years on twitter ill be happy.

jexone.bsky.social•108 days ago

To be honest, I just signed up but I like the format a lot more than what @threads offered

glengirl.bsky.social•108 days ago

I'm not in any starter packs so I'm still under 500. But then I am quite dull. I think I might do more posts about the Isle of Man and our home. Problem is I am pretty pants at photography.

grant67.bsky.social•108 days ago

Hi 👋
Hope you don't mind one more follow from me.
BlueSky certainly looks better than that other place.

brodyrocks.bsky.social•108 days ago

I never checked followers. I just like folks.

boredmillennial.bsky.social•108 days ago

I feel like my posts aren’t being seen. Or maybe I’m just not interesting enough 🤣

muricafckyeah.bsky.social•108 days ago

Post 1000001 about X … lol

mcftw.bsky.social•107 days ago

what is really good to see, is that everyone joining, from what I have seen, are actively blocking the bad actors and being remarkably polite and conversing and disagreeing amicably etc

this site is a breath of fresh air

Amazing what happens when there isn't an outrage algorithm at work.

robespierre1794.bsky.social•108 days ago

Similar situation here

jonesy2723.bsky.social•107 days ago

Ooh, I have 30 too. Oh...wait, you have 30K!

nymiki800.bsky.social•108 days ago

I’m still at the beginning of building my community here but it sure looks good!

justestelle.bsky.social•108 days ago

I’ve only been on a week and I’ve got more followers and interactions than I ever had on the other platform. 😊

briguyatx.bsky.social•108 days ago

Only a week for me also, and over double! Thank you all!

drjennings.bsky.social•108 days ago

And far less of them will be bots or dead accounts.

qgty.bsky.social•108 days ago

BLEEPITY BLEEP BLEEP

you are correct fellow human

BLOP BLOP BLEEPITY BLOP

davidchallen.bsky.social•108 days ago

Glad to see your great work get the reach it deserves, Lizzie!

rhaggas.bsky.social•108 days ago

Oh just seen. Youve got 29,000. Slightly different league 😂

glengirl.bsky.social•108 days ago

Gave you a follow from the Isle of Man.

rhaggas.bsky.social•108 days ago

Followed back…stay safe!!! 😳. Hope app has gone bananas again 🤞

glengirl.bsky.social•108 days ago

I think it's going to be really windy, our ferry sailings are cancelled or at risk until Tuesday. Empty shelves in Tescos.

rhaggas.bsky.social•107 days ago

Windy,yes. But 96mph? No chance.😉

glengirl.bsky.social•107 days ago

I think it's showing it in km/hr, I went to the Met Office site and changed the units.

rhaggas.bsky.social•108 days ago

Well I have a similar story. I did have over a hundred followers on Twitter but about 80% were barely clad ladies who clearly found my posts about climate change, Brexit and Labradors fascinating 🤷🏻‍♂️😉

glengirl.bsky.social•108 days ago

I think about a third of mine were like that. Got too annoying to police them.

bll4ever.bsky.social•108 days ago

We are just getting started on BS after years on Twitter with over 12,000 followers. We were glad to finally dump the cesspool of hate, bigotry, misogyny, homophobia & lies. 😷
