With all of us coming here to Bluesky, we are all essentially hitting a big reset button.
Twitter promoted a lot of toxic unhealthy traits in the pursuit for clout thanks to its awful algorithm.
Here, those toxic fucks don't have an algorithm to push their bullshit. This is a huge chance for us.

Like can Bluesky have an OC outfit trend we can all do? I miss those.
But yeah I'm looking forward to seeing how artists will handle this place. For all the faults Twitter has, the artists certainly made up some fun ways of engagement that weren't just ragebaits.
Hopefully tho if folks on here take this chance they got, I might not even have to mention them again.
But yes, I agree with everything you said.
I ask that you please ease up on me with the original's alt-text. I've not made many text-based media posts that required alt-text, only art posts, hence my mistake. I respect the people's criticisms, but I don't want it to potentially devolve to personal attacks.
also big thanks to a few folks who helped with correcting a few things i got wrong. i will admit i dont know EVERYTHING about bluesky, but i still stand by the point that all of us starting fresh here allows for a great opportunity to not repeat history.
But ya, your right its a restart but should be a good one. Just got to make sure people like Kit the Soles, Hypnotist Sappho, CasWarFox, Kiro the Wolf, and other problematic members in the fandom, don't join bluesky. We don't need their crazy here.
I left Twitter BECAUSE it was toxic. I wanted to go to a social happy place where I don't have political nonsense shoved down my throat on every page.
I wanted to share my art pieces without the toxicity, and I can do that happily here!
I don't wanna leave...
Let's take advantage of this reset.
The dead bird site tried to grow a "There can be only one!" culture when it comes to social media. And a good majority of people fell into it.
Once I got away, I saw that you can use more than one site or app without having to deal with algos and pushed toxicity.
You can use more than one.
however, i like to see it's already a mile ahead of twitter in the staggering lack of toxicity, drama, purity testing & bigotry, which is very comparable to the fediverse.
Bluesky is essentially a chance for us to leave that environment behind and focus on better things. If people wanna be awful, they shouldn't be fed any engagement, even if to mock them.
People have also been making their own personal feeds to categorize their media, especially when it comes to art posts. I used https://Blueskyfeeds.com for creating my personal feeds.
I'd suggest seeking out folks who probably know more about the ins and outs of this place rather then me haha
Also yeah agreed, i know mastodon has more going for it then bluesky, i even prefer it over this imho but ik not everyone's open to learning the works
Having your own domain as part of your handle is a big plus. No fighting for a username when you have a verifiable domain. Parody and impersonating accounts become harder too.
They might have helped form an opinion, I suppose... but they also made me more miserable than I should be.
nah but for real we could get close to that if the right steps are taken here
It's the worst. THE WORST.
(There will be more fountain pens in your future....🔮)
THE WORST!
thanks for the tip, will keep that in mind for future text-based pictures
admittedly im still working on my alt text in those other spots outside of art, so bear with me on that front haha
IDK if you can do this on desktop, tho.

Knowing is half the battle of bubbly boys
This is no reason to post Unlabelled adult photos on purpose, Bluesky is de-centralized system, with decent Modding tools.
(the only thing they can afford to pay attention to is CP )
Everyone should see this
Your PFP looks awesome
But visibly they would appear the same!
also yeah sorry about the OG's alt-text, still getting the hang of it
About to stop following some people I otherwise like over it too.
if someone has an issue with me or my criticisms and isn't looking for any sort of peace or balanced resolve, they can just block me, idc
that and just keep it private pls
But no, people have to air their beefs, and convince others of just how horrible the other person is, and try to get them cancelled, etc.
There's exceptions for people who are truly harmful but so much is just hearsay and minor shit.
still, the existence of bluesky does allow for potentially great changes if we act right on it.
i might make a corrected post if provided enough info some time down the line, who knows
From a technological and economic point of view, it's very centralised, so I don't really expect the current "no algorithms" to last much past when they add ads on here.
It's not canceling, it's just keeping my skyline clean.
I'll choose who I block and mute. I don't need "community vanguards" stirring drama for "the sake of safety"
What are you actually against that was promoted in this post?
