Hi Reece. I left X over a year ago for the same reason. I w as in touch with you through that platform. Glad I could fine you here and reconnect

littlemrsb.bsky.social•59 days ago

The views are better here - still get the odd attempted follower who's not wanted, but it's easy to block 🙂

ianhook.bsky.social•59 days ago

I've not posted on X since Nov 24, I had kept my accounts active to track followers who hadn't made the move to Bluesky, but last week deactivated for good. those left there now clearly aren't bothered by Musk or actually condone his behaviour. Their choice, Bluesky is my home now 😊

verifypete.bsky.social•58 days ago

That meme says a lot for the current mindset of contributors on there.

afnotbricktop.bsky.social•59 days ago

👏👏👏👏👏👍

seanrostron.bsky.social•59 days ago

Bot.

terrier1962.bsky.social•58 days ago

It’s getting worse than ever-so much hate and nastiness
Worse still I so vehemently disagree with so many comments on there that I want to be horrendously obnoxious back to them
I’m on there for Town stuff only now-though may soon be off for even that & hopefully here collects more contributors

dawnbritten.bsky.social•59 days ago

Nice try Brian. X

agulland.bsky.social•58 days ago

Don't go back.
Don't post on X.
Don't create content.
Don't fund musk.
Don't support fascism.

iamrumpelheinz.bsky.social•59 days ago

I won't return to X. I miss old friends and the vivid exchange. But what I don't miss is busty ladies in suggestive poses clamouring to every tweet I sent.

Fare well, birdy. #SpaceKaren fucked this you up, amongst others.

andreenfrancaise.bsky.social•59 days ago

Well played Sir
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💙

downunder79.bsky.social•59 days ago

We are all staying here now Reece. The view is much better! 🤗🦘🇦🇺🥰

clareosel.bsky.social•58 days ago

Good move. I left as soon as it changed hands

leetaylorbythesea.bsky.social•59 days ago

Stopped using after the Trump election, deleted account this week. It is a hell site

tinytheatredog.bsky.social•58 days ago

I’m the same.
I left the day he won the election and all I saw was your body my choice and rape is now legal stuff.
We’ve come too far to go back to that.
The rapid decent back into the 1930’s is frankly terrifying.

cerulecoach.bsky.social•58 days ago

I’m still having fun baiting and trolling fascists and racists on Twatter. Naughty me…!

ad1957.bsky.social•58 days ago

It’s a cesspool of ignorance and stupidity

richthered.bsky.social•59 days ago

I shall never go back, do miss all the beautiful European crypto expert ladies who apparently were interested in me tho 🤔

chriswhu.bsky.social•58 days ago

Can’t understand why they haven’t migrated here, where disagreements can be had without receiving death threats! 🤷🏻‍♂️

stephenswan.bsky.social•59 days ago

I also think that anyone staying on ‘X’/Twitter now is helping that platform survive (and unless pro-Musk politically are likely to be shadow banned anyway). The only way it will collapse is if enough people (including media and advertisers) walk away.

jane-cc.bsky.social•58 days ago

I agree. I came off X as I didn't want to be a user number to boost Musks profits.

the11thdoctor.bsky.social•59 days ago

I spent most of my time on there blocking and muting horrible people. This is so much nicer.

salfordtony.bsky.social•59 days ago

I couldn't go back there either. I feel liberated away from that toxic place.

pamgiles.bsky.social•59 days ago

Same with me Reece, I’ve finally consigned X to the bin…..and breathe.

t3rfh.bsky.social•58 days ago

I got locked out of my account due to suspicious activity...but probs due to continually criticising Ellen and Trumptin...gradually people are crossing over and this place does take a little getting used to...but we're Yorkshiremen from Yorkshire in Yorkshire and we'll hack it!

peace9.bsky.social•59 days ago

I looked yesterday on x and nothing has changed, we ain’t missing anything!

kingwelder.bsky.social•59 days ago

For now Bsky is great if a little American bias I still use X occasionally. Hopefully here stays as calm as pleasant for years to come. 👍

patsydors.bsky.social•59 days ago

I agree re: the American bias.

kingwelder.bsky.social•59 days ago

Thank you Patsy have a great day 😊

moonterrier.bsky.social•59 days ago

I’m using both at the moment Reece, although only staying on X for the Huddersfield Town news and banter really

reecedinsdale.bsky.social•59 days ago

I only go on for HTFC news too, Michael (it’s nonexistent on here 🙁)… but I don’t post or reply.

aladinsane.bsky.social•58 days ago

I think more clubs are starting to move - my mob are well represented here and we do have an official club presence

They are not as active as they are on eXcrement but it’s getting there

The secret I think was setting up follow lists

porthiadays.bsky.social•59 days ago

It's a terrible place, with a terrible owner. I wish all our politicians and everyone decent would come off it. Musk maligning Zelenskyy like this tonight is appalling. And it's awful that Farage & Truss are at the same conference, running down our country. https://bsky.app/profile/newseye.bsky.social/post/3linicydro22v

mandeville24.bsky.social•59 days ago

I’ll never go back to the other place. The nastiness racism and hatred was too much.

gillmh.bsky.social•59 days ago

Yes, Twitter became a very dark place. I miss some of my old friends, but had to get out into the light.

kingbeastie.bsky.social•59 days ago

I don't miss it. It was unusable by the end.

saltsplace.bsky.social•59 days ago

Out of curiosity, I popped back on for a couple of minutes, yesterday. It’s still the same platform of idiocy, misinformation, nastiness & the downright unacceptably racist tweets.

kingbeastie.bsky.social•59 days ago

I used it for fourteen years. My account is now deleted.

dimy.bsky.social•58 days ago

Same!

pablito999.bsky.social•59 days ago

You're not missing anything, believe me.

I checked in tonight, and it seems to be just a rolling advert. Pushing tweets and news about trump, elon, and their cronies in the White House

mikala8.bsky.social•59 days ago

I do miss X but this drop in the ocean has had enough.

macduff60.bsky.social•59 days ago

X is gone, as far as I'm concerned.

alisonlancslass.bsky.social•59 days ago

I don’t blame you for not returning. I left a few weeks ago and deleted my account. I saw you got a lot of aggressive tweets on there and it’s not pleasant

jbhthescots.bsky.social•58 days ago

Elon is proving more deadlier than the current avian flu outbreak!

brianwoolfinder.bsky.social•58 days ago

No-one should be on X while it's owned by a fascist and being used to pump out far-right disinformation.

ye-nott.bsky.social•59 days ago

Correct! X does not mark the spot I'm afraid.

asleepinyorkshire.bsky.social•58 days ago

Reece, there's a time to grieve, but also a time to act. X provides Musk with a tool he needs. Can I be brutally frank with you - it's not a tool is it? It's a weapon. I know that the majority of Brits don't like injustice. X is part of a huge injustice. We aren't here for long Reece. King regards

calmacp.bsky.social•58 days ago

I miss the Cambridge Utd chat and the friends I made there but on the whole its a relief to be away ...
