The final piece of advice I would like to give to new folks tonight is that Bluesky will be what you make of it. When I came over from the former Twitter, I resolved to be more kind to others here than I was over there. That choice has made being here so much better. Keep it in mind for yourself.
Comments
Good advice.
We all help each other
Stay Sane
&
Kind
And when you need to vent ~ you'll have
Good Company 🤙🏼
While I still have my guard up a lil, I won't show it as much unless I really need to. I can't allow myself to be negative, that's not what I need right now.
But pics of pets and art and the grandkid are still important.
We'll see if that happens but this place is a lot nicer than Facebook imo. 🤷♀️ I feel less "screamy into the void"
I was user 44k something and there are now 13.9M! (6M active)
I am hoping for a much more enjoyable interaction with other people on here.
And really what more?
It takes some effort to be nice after all the toxicity of that other place.
The practice is healthy and people here are definitely much nicer.
give nice
get nice
:pours some coffee and turns up Iko Iko.:
I pray Bsky stays normal as it currently is, because what birdapp devolved into is not normal.
Incentivising rage bait for pay via the bluecheck was just the start.
We protect each other
We listen to & help
Each other 🤙🏼
And we have fun too
There so much here
Many feeds
Many great people
We aim
to keep it that way 🤙🏼
Please let this be a safe place for people to have helpful, meaningful, and FUN connections.
Cruise around
Check out the various feeds
Check out what your interests are; odds are there are great people & feeds to hang in
Above all, Slow Down
Here, it's not about follower counts
but interactions 🤙🏼
Just be Nice
Watch what happens 😸
A lot of us want a kinder space and we are war weary enough to enforce it. It’s made for a better socmed experience for me.
And I curse. A lot.
My account here will be all about sports, entertainment and probably pets.
I bc want to keep it light and positive.
Please!
(I can’t help myself)
We like to take good, deep breaths here
And hydrate often 🤙🏼🦋
I feel like I am in Twitter detox.
Any tips on how to better curate your feed and find folks discussing topics you like?
I NEED a temporary break from M*GA on Twitter.
Shouts here
Not to each other anyway 😹

Got banned. It’s ok, it was a darker, more desperate time and volatile moment. I’ll do better. Looking to not be so angry.
My motto here will be
"Be Kind
Or
Be quiet"
Unless MN congressman Tom Emmer shows up cuz Man....That guy......
It's cathartic as fuck, especially right now.
We already have a public toilet if you need it - probably a few of those, actually - let's keep *this* space nice and clean.
Debate is healthy and enables learning
It's been a nightmare.
