Still getting the hang of this platform, but so far I’m liking what I see. It’s a delight to find so many familiar names and faces. And so far, anyway, none of the usual trolls and bots.

Welcome! One thing to remember is Bluesky is a bit more curatorial than Twitter. You can select your own algorithms in the form of feeds. You can publish and use blocklists and key words to starve nazis of air.
Tend your garden well here and it becomes a pleasure rather than scrolling hell.
It’s good to see the twitter people migrating. I haven’t been there much for months but closed it after the new T&Cs and the latest warnings about blocking being axed and the “use this site at your own risk”. Not a good combo imo.
Hi Mike, welcome aboard! Good to see you here: was wondering when the toxicity & decaying stench of Muskville would steer you this way. It just became intolerable and cutting it out of my life was easily a no-brainer. Hope you have the same experience!
There are starter packs that allow you to batch follow people in certain interest groups, and labellers / block lists for problematic interest groups shall we say. There's no bookmarks, but several versions of a "pin" feed that allows you to quickly look up all posts you replied to with a "pushpin".
I'm so glad you're here. Your Following and Followers lists have been invaluable to kick start my brand new BS account 😃 PS Did they run the name BlueSky far enough up the flagpole?
The beauty of it is that it's up to you what content you see. No predatory algorithm strangling reach. Go through the feeds & find ones that appeal to you if you haven't already. Link on the right of your screen. Feeds like AusPol Australian Media, Discover, Popular with Friends etc etc.
You're welcome. Don't forget to pin the feeds to home so they show up on your home page. You just click into each of them and you'll find different content. Other good ones are mentions, followers, Quiet Posters, mutuals & whatever else you're interested in. If you have Q's just ask.
I think people here have decided to leave the rage behind, because it only serves those who want to create division among us. It seems to be working, everyone is much happier.
Follow the developers(Programmers)for tips. This lady is one. https://bsky.app/profile/farhana.bsky.social
It's all about choosing your categories of interest, and to find out the developers and read what they say, from the headings above.
Have fun... one thing, bit of a fulltime job this Social stuff.
Who made this?😂
Couldn't agree more. The real test is that there are some great people on Twitter that aren't here yet, but I don't want to run both platforms. I guess its a price to pay.

Been waiting…

A good platform.
Enjoyed conversing with you back then, looking forward to the new Bluesky dawn!

Here's a starter pack with a lot of the more prominent Aussie accounts from Twitter: https://go.bsky.app/HmE2SDu
Oh, and welcome!
Still in transition. The Cövid Science is a little slow... Trying to nudge or along.
Will keep posting the better science and Long Cövid stuff.
It's not a disease you would wish upon anyone😞
Still have that other one going for now.
Checked earlier in the day but you hadn’t “landed” yet. 😆

great to see you here!
Lost touch with so many on X
Day two for me, already learnt that it's okay to swear on here and here's the first dick pic test dummy. 🤭
