LOL I must like this place because I tell stories on here I never would back on Twitter because it would have been days of harassment and death threats simply for sharing an experience that I thought was interesting,

I don't need the place where I go shoot the shit with people to be where I interact with governmental agencies or have my customer service issue resolved.
It was periodically helpful to remind United that they weren't mad, they just were having an identity crisis of suddenly waking up and being an airline and they needed to have some almonds.
Also, we outsourced many things that should have been a public good and were not.
I was locked out of my Bluesky account for five days, so I went to the other place.
I spent most of my time using the mute and block buttons. …
I need to try and find some of those accounts that I follow there at Bluesky.
How wonderful it is not to be harassed by Nazis etc. Tom Forth was on here calling that being radicalised. I think he doesn’t understand people on the whole.
I was harassed on twitter by a bitter and twisted woman on twitter. To the point they actually stalked down the account of a friend of mine who took his own life. She insinuated that I was responsible for my friend’s death, which is a baseless and hurtful accusation. Imagine how cruel…
Exactly what I'm saying, it's full of the far right with union flags in their profiles. I've nothing against the flag of my country, but it's become a meme for racists and the far right .
The yanks occasionally stacks-on when I ask a question, make an observation or tell a story they disagree with, but it's still better than other places I do the same thing. I don't miss the death threats.
I got mass reported & permabanned for saying it was the moral obligation of queer folks like me to punch TERFs harassing trans folks at Pride, so I feel you on this.

A few weeks ago I nearly bailed because it had too much of a reply guy angle that wasn't counterbalanced.
Now, it has such good energy.
I described it earlier today as "the old days of Twitter but with adults".
That is a perfect description.
My only addition would be its like the old days of Twitter before the "brands" showed up.
Like, you know you don't own that, right?

I was just agreeing with you about the vibe here being like the old days but with adults and before the brands showed up
I don't want a town hall. I like sitting around a campfire.
So yeah, confirmed.
Hope you get to tell (and experience!) many more wonderful stories!

I don't understand why anyone would invest so much time & effort into hurting a stranger.
Such as "animals can't consent" and you got swarms of people saying the opposite and calling you a nazi. 😭 It was horrible. I am traumatized.
Welcome to BSky. ♡ The sky is bluer here.
You just talked more about Prince because it was basically unassailable but your values always shines through ☺️
