Friends, I can’t take this 1 minute video limit anymore and no posting YouTube links is not sufficient. You can’t upload 15 YouTube videos in the span of 10 minutes. BlueSky cannot be a platform that encourages people to leave Twitter, Threads and have a one minute video limit. - ThreadSky

Brevity is the soul of wit.

Trim it down to just the essence of what you want to say, and you'll communicate more effectively.

Very few people will read a wall of text or sit through long form videos.

They'll just keep scrolling right past you. 💜

Agreed.

Some people are doing it.... @atrupar.com
I'm not, so I have no idea how.

One thing that pushed me off FB was all the video reels.

Hope they know how important you are in the “us.”

yasharali.bsky.social•90 days ago

Oh I’m not going anywhere!!

wesmorgan1.bsky.social•90 days ago

OK, how much are you willing to pay per month to upload longer videos?

I mean, you're getting an ad-free social media network at no cost to you...whining about video length sounds rather privileged.

3 minutes now

smithjohnny.bsky.social•90 days ago

Most videos are not uploading for me. And the ones that do, there’s no sound.

nicamsterdam.bsky.social•90 days ago

I truly don't care about seeing a single video. But I'm old.

cryptohat.bsky.social•90 days ago

So what are you saying?

tzipshmil.bsky.social•90 days ago

You should leave twitter because it owned by a Nazi

joshgammon.com•90 days ago

This is absolutely good enough reason.

rattacasal.bsky.social•90 days ago

I hope this helps.

To be honest, this is why I preferred the olden days Twitter-no crazy, long videos, and it's why I like BlueSky's format over IG, I don't even do TikTok at all, because I want to read things, not watch things. I'm finding the videos I see on here plenty good enough as is.🤷🏼‍♀️

yasharali.bsky.social•90 days ago

I’m sorry this is not the world we live in.

korytellers.bsky.social•90 days ago

These days AI makes it so hard to trust videos-we don't know what's real and what's completely made up, why flies our feeds with all of that nonsense?

korytellers.bsky.social•90 days ago

Is the world we currently live in doing all that great? Maybe it's all the videos that got us into this mess in the first place? We all talk about how great Twitter was back in the day, why does all social media have to be exactly the same? If you want video just use IG or TT.🤷🏼‍♀️

pfhlick.bsky.social•90 days ago

As a long time forum lurker, I'm right with you. I still seek out the text based web, and in fact I avoid video, because of the loss of control I experience starting one. Fuck the arrow of time, it's an illusion. Videos are mostly time suck.

korytellers.bsky.social•90 days ago

Thank you! And really, these days with AI it's getting harder and harder to know what videos are actually real. I just want words, and interaction with one another on here, actually conversations with each other. That's what made Twitter so great in the good days, we were talking TO each other,+

korytellers.bsky.social•90 days ago

+not AT each other, which is what most of social media is these days-just people talking out loud not really caring if anyone says anything back to them at all. We need to change that if we want to make this world better.
