I'm finding it hard to put my phone down. Haven't had that feeling in a very long time. Please, keep #BlueSky Data Mining & Bot free. Will be worth every shiny penny.
Your equivalent post on the other platform is filled with replies from the usual suspects and that really demonstrates why making the leap to bsky is so nice in the first place.
It's weird how I got used to seeing ads all the time that it took up so much scrolling through feeds on Twitter. There are non here and it feels like old Twitter before Elon.
TBH, I’m worried about how long this can continue. Server space, programmers, caffeinated drinks - they all cost money. I’m hoping they have a plan to monetize without too much of an impact. And, I don’t mind a monthly fee. Then **I’m** the customer, unlike the others where my data is the product.
It's lovely not seeing an unsolicited political ad every two posts...and being told by that website that I'd have to pay to block the accounts posting them.
Happy to see the mtg community thriving on here. I finally got a good stock on mtg people I follow on twitter only for everything going to shit over there.
Recommendations for people to follow on here appreciated 🙏❤️
Sadly, that's at least for now. Companies need to make some money or at least pull even somehow. But so far so good. I just hope the negativity on that 'twit' of a site doesn't roll over here. We're all glad to have you part of our little community. 🥰
Have been on the site less than a week and have been thinking about the same thing. Have you come across any lists or discussions about how they can make money, monetize creators, and keep it clean?
There are fewer people here, but after spending some time building up a cache of accounts I want to interact with, the quality of the discourse is just SOOOOOOO much better.
Ok I feel as though i do need to say that this is a very dry humor joke. I just wanted to say that before the amount of people seeing this got out of hand
they've already proposed a Discord Nitro-esque subscription to allow users to customise their profile. also a hard stance against 'pay-to-win' algorithms which is nice
I saw somewhere that they're exploring a tiered subscription scheme, with basic features for everyone and ecpanded features higher up. Nothing gamechanging, but useful stuff.
Bluesky isn't like other companies, and they're not dependent on VC cash. It's a public benefit corporation, but they're designing the tool to persist even if they are gone. If you're interested, take a look at @jay.bsky.team and @pfrazee.com.
The way blocking works here, plus the ability to yank a skeet out of a quote so you can't be dragged for it, does help keep things from getting out of hand.
Starving the trolls really does work as it turn out.
If eventually it becomes actually comparable in size to X, then the obvious question is how to deal with hate, bots and imposters plus other stuff on top
Look… Earlier today, I was in a conversation with someone else. I disagreed with this idea that MAGAs don’t do research: I said they do but they do it really badly.
Yada yada yada we met in the middle and agreed. No fighting. Just talking it out. It was GREAT.
I’m just amazed that we can talk to actual people around here. TALK to them. Like, as in having a real conversation and not getting verbally attacked or having to fight back.
Honestly I found twitter ads pretty annoying but at least when it was for like a samsung phone or something it felt reasonable instead of getting bombarded with donation links for Project Hitler 2
Facts. I don’t think people would mind if there were just normal ass ads. I think the devs should get advertisers like you said, Samsung, Apple, fruit loops etc
Tbh it’s probably gonna happen, they gotta pay the bills somehow. The important part is how they implement them, and that they don’t go over board (likes some apps we know)
Yah it's seems pretty good so far now I feel me and the rest of the Pendragon mtg rules round table will be able to share more about the format without being bogged down by algorithms

He's the only one of my favourite MTG creators who's not here (at least I can't seem to find him)
It is nice though. Not being constantly advertised to by *insert brand*.
That and "Diner makes coke the old fashioned way" every week.
A nostalgic internet from 2012.
Even if we assume the people behind Bluesky have a moral obligation to preserve old Twtter vibes, the users are still half the issue.
