Yes, for my own personal reasons, I’ve gone back on Twitter. For the record… I have NOT left BlueSky! I don’t believe the two platforms have to be mutually exclusive. However… I’ll see how it pans out. 🤷‍♂️ - ThreadSky

Good luck Reece. You are a braver man than I. Personally, I have found my life to be enriched coming away from it and from being immersed in all of that negativity and hatred. It has allowed me to realise that the majority of humanity does not share those views.

davidcavlovic.bsky.social•35 days ago

DO report back.😁

belaflugosi.bsky.social•20 days ago

Bro I consider you one of my fave people here....and as much as I'd never go back to twatter I do respect your choice to run both accounts....but if you quit here I'll tell everyone we are really secret brothers and our life mirrors the dingles...
Got it? Hehe

mirandaspitteler.bsky.social•34 days ago

I'm not sure it's anyone's business, really. I came off because I wanted nothing to do with a facist owned platform, but then I don't need to reach a large audience in the way you might, so perhaps in your position, where you have more influence, the benefits outweigh the downsides. It's personal.

maureenfelix.bsky.social•34 days ago

Exactly, nobody owns anybody

stoneycat.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yeah I followed you back over, not sure what I think though - that new landlord's a right cunt 🙃

dunkersblade.bsky.social•35 days ago

Ah I see , funny that. It suits you yeah for your own personal reasons eh?

reecedinsdale.bsky.social•34 days ago

Care to illuminate?

dunkersblade.bsky.social•34 days ago

So knowing what you know about Musk and as he owns Twitter why do you think going back to Twitter in 2025 is a good idea?

reecedinsdale.bsky.social•34 days ago

Do I need to explain myself to you?

dunkersblade.bsky.social•34 days ago

No, I’m sure you have your reasons and they are personal to you. There’s obviously an alternative but it doesn’t suit your requirements. That’s fine, by choosing a product it doesn’t mean you support the owner or the far right. In fact you obviously oppose it….so no judgement from me. See ya. 😉

reecedinsdale.bsky.social•34 days ago

So why post what you did?

harrietburns.bsky.social•35 days ago

Ofcourse it's up to individuals, but don't forget us, I won't go back. Best wishes.

gcooper100.bsky.social•34 days ago

It’s not for me anymore but each to their own. Stay in touch mate 👍

mrmoog.bsky.social•34 days ago

Democracy mate. Rejoin what you want.🙏💚

debs2500.bsky.social•34 days ago

God what is it with people. Unfollowing you coz you're back on Twitter? Since when did they make your decisions for you. FFS, the bad elements of SM. Howabout we all live our lives how we want without judgy idiots! This had really wound me up Reece! 🤬

extruderman.bsky.social•34 days ago

It’s very much a sewer over there, it’s been an object lesson in destroying a media platform by making sane reasonable people unwelcome

caroloneill1.bsky.social•34 days ago

That’s your choice and people need to “butt out”. Anyway don’t forget to post updates on here so that I don’t suffer from withdrawal. Hope your day is going well 👍

minijew.bsky.social•33 days ago

I’m on both what has it got to do with anyone else.🤷‍♀️

reecedinsdale.bsky.social•33 days ago

Quite.

owenk77.bsky.social•34 days ago

I hope your rabies and tetanus shots are up to date!

nm0nm0.bsky.social•34 days ago

I've still got my account, mainly because there are a few accounts on there that I don't want to lose connection with and they are not on Bsky and I'm not on Instagram 🤷
It's nobody's business where you have an account 😌

hekatehades.bsky.social•34 days ago

I deleted my account last year but I admit I’ve been tempted a few times to make a new one to just go and lurk.

Just don’t let the twats on there get to you,

mrschairmang.bsky.social•34 days ago

I don't interact with X, but there are a lot of customer service accounts for different services I use that haven't come across to BlueSky. So, sadly, until they have more of a presence here, I have to get updates from 'the other place'. I'm talking travel updates for trains and that.

thebuell.bsky.social•34 days ago

I'm fine with that, but I absolutely won't go back there unless the Muskrat goes bankrupt and sells it off.

nannysue.bsky.social•35 days ago

I keep flicking back to twitter as well,I still have friends on there

scribemole.bsky.social•34 days ago

Wow you're brave, good luck!

tonyj1878.bsky.social•35 days ago

🤞

jdpoc.bsky.social•35 days ago

If it's any help, Buffer is a very good free tool that let's you post out on 3 accounts simultaneously, I use it all the time..

https://buffer.com/

lundyfox.bsky.social•34 days ago

Drink at the Woolpack, and that scary 70s estate pub too. It gives you a broader social experience

helsbelsmonty.bsky.social•34 days ago

I’m not gonna drink at a pub with a white supremacist, transphobic landlord

lundyfox.bsky.social•34 days ago

Me neither

suemasonburns.bsky.social•35 days ago

You don't have to justify yourself to us

000iamsoops.bsky.social•34 days ago

Your choice entirely Reece

I don't let anyone dictate to me what I chose to do, and neither should you

I still maintain my account there and occasionally post, although I'm often deactivated

It also pays to keep an eye on things...and certain people ...

😊

reecedinsdale.bsky.social•34 days ago

Correct

stonehenge.bsky.social•34 days ago

and im useing this gif again :D

elimuann.bsky.social•34 days ago

I often wonder about doing so too. If everyone with a social conscience quits, who is left to call out the bigotry, etc? However, I won’t support Felon Musk.

sunderlandlolly.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yes, I'm back and forth, mostly here. Still find more politics easier to find on X but run back here for a chat with nice people. Xxx

kaye1965.bsky.social•34 days ago

My dear friend, you have permission to use my otter, save replying to the disillusioned people who think they have the slightest say in what you choose to do. 😂😂😂

reecedinsdale.bsky.social•34 days ago

😄👍

kaye1965.bsky.social•34 days ago

😁✊

sueosullivan8.bsky.social•34 days ago

It's everyone's choice what platforms they are on.

jimmibails.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yea, I swore I'd never shop at Tesco's again, but sometimes there's no other option. Hope going back is a happier experience.

diane-reeves777.bsky.social•34 days ago

There are still some of us “good ones” (I hope)-on both sides for you
🥰💙🐦

geoffellison.bsky.social•34 days ago

You're a braver man than me Reece, lol.

stothy.bsky.social•34 days ago

Personal choice Reece, I wouldn't but it's still a free country, no judgement here

tedthedrummerman.bsky.social•34 days ago

I'm going to continue to stay away from it.

plantjunkie2.bsky.social•34 days ago

Reece, you don't need to tell anyone anything. What you do in your life is your buisness. 👍

janeyllou.bsky.social•34 days ago

Just keep an eye on your blood pressure. But make sure you share any gossip from over there.

richdef.bsky.social•34 days ago

X is a terrible scarring experience these days. Threads is bad, too.

exeterobservatory.com•35 days ago

I have successfully resisted the temptation, even though I had a decent following over there. The toxicity is just not worth it.

rudolphucker.bsky.social•34 days ago

I deactivated and let my account delete itself so I can’t go back now without setting up a new one. I do get occasional fomo though and there are some people I interacted with on there who have not joined Bluesky which is a shame.

leeglenwright.bsky.social•34 days ago

Keep fighting the good fight!
I denied myself the option, deleted my account over a year ago now. It took ten years to get where I was, I don't have the inclination to start again.

maddietlr.bsky.social•34 days ago

Okay, byeee then.

reecedinsdale.bsky.social•34 days ago

And your opinion matters because…

stueyd.bsky.social•35 days ago

I've been keeping both going ... level of interaction here is still less than in the other place ... but - there be dragons ...

gambitman.bsky.social•34 days ago

didn't take long for bluesky to descend into twitter...

nicholasf1.bsky.social•35 days ago

Please let us know what it's like now.
I hope it's not too traumatic for you...

martynjohnston.bsky.social•34 days ago

Haven't quite got round to deleting my Twitter account (yet).
I do still lurk in there sometimes just to watch angry people shouting at each other.

santorim87.bsky.social•34 days ago

To use a Withnail line, "What fucker said that?" Who do these people think they are? What must their lives be like if they have to go around being angry about where someone uses their own social media account? They need to get out more!! 🤷🏼‍♀️

tarquinfauntleroy.bsky.social•34 days ago

I hope you don't stop posting here though.
Fwiw, I left permanently. Despite there being many great people, I just couldn't support a platform & owner that allows & rewards racism, abuse & hatred.
That's not a dig at you or anyone else on there, btw..

hunt1976.bsky.social•34 days ago

Personally, I wouldn't entertain 'X' ever again. But, it's your choice Reece. I certainly won't be spitting my dummy out and 'unfollowing' you, like some of the others in the comments.

jakkb77.bsky.social•32 days ago

Absolutely your choice Reece, for those giving you stick about it 🚫!! Don't feed the trolls 🧌

iamcodeninja.bsky.social•35 days ago

I genuinely can't believe people are saying they're unfollowing you because of this! You're free to make your own choices in this world and if they can't understand that then, yeah, maybe you're better off without them anyway. 🤷

reecedinsdale.bsky.social•34 days ago

Nowt so queer as folk. 😄

thirdincharge.bsky.social•34 days ago

It’s genuinely baffling…

davieeeee46.bsky.social•34 days ago

One of the main reasons I left is that I didn't want to put money in musks pocket through advertising and I didn't want to give him any data for his AI , apart from it being a right wing cess pit , but each to their own in what they want to do .

leilatavibird.bsky.social•35 days ago

I flit between the two and have no issue with anyone else who does. Personal choice

celticjohn1955.bsky.social•34 days ago

I've kept mine also and sometimes post there (football related stuff)
Beware though as I posted twice there yesterday by mistake thinking I was on Bluesky 😂

mandeville24.bsky.social•34 days ago

As far as I know we still in live in a country where we have freedom of choice and speech. And don’t let anyone tell me otherwise.
Of course if you live in the USA it’s completely different. If Reform ever got into a position of power it might be the same here too.

sheila-the-thief.bsky.social•34 days ago

I will allow it. On the condition that you screenshot and post anything ridiculous here. It's a dirty job, but...

glynis59.bsky.social•34 days ago

I pop onto Twitter now and then to see what people are posting, its a cesspit

lindaatkins.bsky.social•34 days ago

I stayed on TwitteX as there are a few people that I enjoy following who haven’t come over here. I ignore a lot of the stuff but it is worth it to stay connected to the ones that I like.

socialistnan123.bsky.social•34 days ago

Hope you won’t be called a fascist & hypocrite for being on both sites like I’ve
been. It was a real insight into some of my followers, I think some of them are your followers too. Beware👍

reecedinsdale.bsky.social•34 days ago

I’ll be best off without them.

socialistnan123.bsky.social•34 days ago

Agreed, me too.✊

hilsofhove.bsky.social•28 days ago

Knew you’d miss me.😉🤔

leplonge.bsky.social•34 days ago

I've just decided to stop interacting with X after 16 years and 49,000 posts. I'll leave it there read-only—a window into the madhouse.

bethany9119.bsky.social•34 days ago

Noooo!!!!

Good luck over there. Report back to us 😁

katleenh.bsky.social•34 days ago

And now I follow you on both....win, win

falconer59.bsky.social•34 days ago

🤷🏾🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♂️I hope we all don't have to obey those 'new rules'.

reecedinsdale.bsky.social•34 days ago

New rules?

falconer59.bsky.social•34 days ago

Make your own rules ☺️

bundelabun.bsky.social•34 days ago

Not going back.

fennavista.bsky.social•34 days ago

My dad would have said a Glutton for punishment 😂

lornamanie.bsky.social•34 days ago

I wonder why some think they can tell what to do. Do what suits you

clairecopperman.bsky.social•34 days ago

Fair enough. I've still got an account, but don't post - I just check in with people I respect but who aren't here yet. But please don't forget about us, Reece, and do report back!

reecedinsdale.bsky.social•34 days ago

Not forgotten

clairecopperman.bsky.social•34 days ago

😘

stonehenge.bsky.social•35 days ago

yea i seen your posts over there ..and boy you got some stick ..

agesipolis.bsky.social•35 days ago

Tell us how it goes.

Not planning on going back, but am curious.

brianwoolfinder.bsky.social•34 days ago

Twitter is owned by an actual Nazi. Come on Reece.

ye-nott.bsky.social•34 days ago

Just as long as you don't move to Lancashire 🤣🤣🤣

thirdincharge.bsky.social•34 days ago

Ooh I did that once

orphil73.bsky.social•34 days ago

For a hobby I’m trying to pursue I may have to go back to Twitter too. It has reach that BlueSky is catching up with, but not quite on the same level. Good luck with it Reece. I think almost all social media is odd as be buggered anyway.

marjearran.bsky.social•35 days ago

I’m still on both

schoolbus63.bsky.social•35 days ago

I only left Twitter because of Musk, I had many interesting engagements there but I'll have nothing to do with it until he's gone, which I'm sure he will be at some point when it no longer fuels his ego.

dee6277lover.bsky.social•34 days ago

I follow on both now. Glad to see you on Twitter again Reece. Although it is I try not to call it X like all his other proects are so named.

geomarkieb.bsky.social•34 days ago

Closed my account over a year ago and cannot think of any possible reason compelling enough to ever require me to rejoin.
