Ultimately it all comes down to content, so if it's still as vapid as a facebook meme group here, I won't stay around too much (until next time).
Discover-Timeline tuning is as grueling as I expected, hope it bears results soon.
Otherwise, life without any of those twitter-clones isn't so bad 😬

Definitely. I'd have never ventured on to the other place at all if it wasn't for the racheting up of geopolitical issues we happen to face / ended up running this account for our ngo. Understood, if you don't want to stick around, though hope you visit again down the line again, of course!!

I managed to make the other place bearable but yeah that's the thing: the "interesting people" are still stuck there still, and will remain so until this place has become sufficiently big.

I thought video support would bring journos here but I guess they haven't crossed the rubicon yet.

Well, a few have, Mark Chadbourne being a brilliant mover-overer. What you need is some starterpacks in order to set up camp eh?

portello.bsky.social•134 days ago

didn't know about that stuff

liberatehk.se•134 days ago

There's a bit to know now, and I'm not across it, but *some* of your interesting friends are hanging here now and we are stoked to see you so it'd only be better if you jumped in, from our pov eh

honestly if you're relying on discover you're fucked from word go. you gotta start following feeds and following people and actively engaging.

Well if I have to spend a 1000 hours building a curated timeline through carefully selected follows, lists, blocklists and keywords, I'm better off just reading the papers and stick to the groupchat with the boys.

If you remove the curation service, the social network loses all its interest.

nobody's forcing you to "spend 1000 hours". you can have a perfectly good experience with like 30 minutes of effort, but if you just want to be spoonfed then yeah this place isn't going to do much for you.

yes
